5. Injury Management

Keep injury management in mind when putting together a first aid kit so you can manage minor injuries. Consider adding cold compresses for sprains and hot packs for pulled muscles, knee and ankles braces, an arm splint, and an aluminum finger splint.

You may not need these supplies in every situation, but they are good to have on hand if you are camping or hiking and have to be more self-reliant.
