First
Aid Precautions

One
thing that should be at the top of any back
country travel checklist is a personal first-aid
kit, or a selection of medical supplies to meet
emergency medical needs. What you should take
will depend on who you are, where you are going
and how long you will be staying. Consult your
family doctor about these and any other suggestions
and additional supplies you may need. We would
suggest the following minimum items be considered:
- Antiseptic

bandage

| Sun
Protection |
- Keep
in mind that the ultraviolet radiation of
the sun which will burn you is stronger at
higher elevations and are most intense in
tropical, snow and water environments. Wear
protective hats and other coverings when in
the sun. A natural suntan which has been obtained
slowly helps protect you from sunburn, however,
the kind of tan you get from a bottle doesn't.
- When
you buy a commercial sunscreen product look
for a SPF (sun protection factor) rating on
the package.
- SPF
2 to 4 = Minimal protection for people who
rarely burn and tan easily and deeply.
- SPF
4 to 6 = Moderate protection for people who
tan well with minimal burn.
- SPF
6 to 8 = Extra protection for people who burn
moderately and tan gradually.
- SPF
8 to 15 = Maximum protection from sunburning
for people who always burn easily and tan
minimally.
- RECOMMENDED
- SPF 15 or greater = Ultra protection from
sunburn, offers the most protection which
permits no sun tanning for people who burn
easily and never tan.
