Camping Safety Should Be Remembered Whatever We Do - Be Prepared For Anything

How do you prepare for camping safety? Let's see what being safe is. The best way I can describe it is through the Boy Scout Motto: Always Be Prepared. You never know what will happen or when. If you can take a first aid class, do so. You can use this knowledge anywhere, anytime. It is priceless information that may save someone's life.

What kind of things can happen at a campground? Well, let's see. There are trees, rocks, water, sand, ticks, mosquitoes, snakes, bees, sun, boats and the dreaded poison oak. Now, can you think of any reason NOT to be prepared?

In an emergency situation, such as a snake bite, be ready to head to the nearest hospital. Gather that kind of information and keep it handy BEFORE you get to the campground. I keep a cork board and a dry erase board hanging in the camper. On the cork board, I have emergency phone numbers. These include the hospital, family, friends readily available and park host station. Make everyone aware of these numbers and when to use them. The dry erase board is for notes to each other. If you are going out of your camp area, leave a note for other family members as to where you are going and what time you left. When you come back, just erase it.

Other issues include CPR and allergic reactions. Learn to use CPR if at all possible. Water safety is of the utmost importance in camping safety. People who are allergic to plants or bees have reactions to them and start swelling in the exposed area very quickly. You may save a life, just knowing how to handle these things. If you have any questions about any situation you find yourself in, just call out for help. You will find people willing to do whatever necessary to come to your aid.
