FIRST AID
I always plan on two types of first aid . The first relates to the vehicle and caravan . As we touched on in the points above , if you have the tools , the parts , and the knowhow , you have a great chance of repairing a problem . Let ’ s not forget a fire extinguisher while we ' re at it . Every vehicle and caravan should have one .
The other type of first aid relates to your personal health . Always carry a personal first aid kit . Don ’ t rely on a packet of Band Aids and Panadol shoved in the glovebox to get you through . There are plenty of great commercial first aid kits on the market , as well as books and apps to guide you through most emergencies .
Remote-area and snake bite kits are ideal , and they should include extra personal medications and inclusions for individual applications .
Completing a first aid course may save a life on the road , and most towns and centres offer opportunities to learn the latest techniques .
A first aid kit and snake bite bandage are a must .
You checked the weather each day , didn ’ t you ?
