Shields are now made so small they can fit on a key chain.Medical gloves for protection against body fluids.Personal medications, including epi-pen, for bee/wasp stings, asthma inhaler, or insulin for diabetes.Medium First Aid Kit
A medium-sized first aid kit can be useful for small groups of three or four people, whether out for the day or a weekend trip. It should be stocked so that the group can treat most reasonable medical problems.
Having a well-stocked first aid kit is important for any backpacking trip. However, taking along a large kit meant for an extended expedition may not be appropriate for a day hike. Knowing what to bring for the right trip can mean a big difference in weight [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bulk, and the ability to respond to a backcountry emergency.

Personal First Aid Kit
There are some items that hikers should have in their packs in order to be able to treat a basic medical problem, or to be able to assist someone else. These items include:
Many of the items listed above can be bought at the local supermarket [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], medical supply store, or pharmacy. It is possible to purchase special kits [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such as a backcountry dental kit or blister kit from suppliers such as a wilderness medicine company or outdoor retailer. If purchasing supplies for an organizational group trip, check with the company’s protocols, especially for medicines.
A large first aid kit is useful for large groups of people and for extended expeditions to remote places, such as when traveling to the backcountry of Alaska or abroad. These kits will have more of everything, as there may not be a possibility for resupply during the trip.
