Travel Goods

Accidents happen on any trip, especially when it involves the outdoors. Travel prepared with Be Smart Get Prepared’s Happy Camping first-aid kits, which come in various sizes and feature different essentials for whatever family travel you’re on.

 

For the all-encompassing first-aid kit, Happy Explorer ($20) is the kit for you and your family. It includes 265 pieces and supplies such as treatments for poison ivy, insect bites and stings; treatments for first- and second-degree burns; and care for blisters, minor aches and pains. The kit also includes SILVEX Wound Gel, a gel that inhibits the growth of bacteria and creates a continuous protective barrier for skin and wounds.

If you don’t necessarily need as extensive of a kit, consider Happy Wanderer ($20) instead. This 134-piece kit comes in a soft nylon bag and provides treatments for cuts and scrapes, lacerations, first- and second-degree burns, bleeds, blisters, and more.

 

And for a quick trip or trek, Happy Hiker ($12) ensures you’ve got all the essentials without the bulk. Ideal for small cuts and scrapes or irritation from poison ivy or mosquitoes, this 65-piece kit is handy when you’re in a pinch.

There’s even a waterproof first-aid kit ($7) for days out on the water. These three kits are all available at Walmart.

 

As a bonus, every kit purchased funds orthopedic surgeries for disabled children.

 

In addition to first-aid kits, TriKits also sells shower packages for campers; first-aid kits for you and your pet; a one-person, one-day survival kit; a heat relief package; bug bite treatment kit; road trip essential kit; and more.
