Topic: First Aid Kit   

First, everyone should have a First Aid Kit handy, no matter what you are doing outdoors.

Stock the kit with necessary items for your activities Always know where the kit is located Flag the kit – either put a bandana on it, or pack it in an easily identified case Let everyone who is participating know where the kit is Tell everyone where you are during the training or activity, so if they need to call 911, they’ll know what to tell the responders Make it according to research or purchase one (mention Carrie’s new line) Will find some good sites that list contents for first aid kits for shooting
