  Enjoying the outdoors comes with its rewards (hello amazing sunsets, summits, wildlife & big mature trees) and its potential drawbacks (injuries, ticks, burns, poison ivy & blisters). Outdoor stores sell hiker first aid kits and they are a fantastic all in one and I recommend them for carrying wraps, band aids and compresses. However,  there are other essential items to consider when spending time in the outdoors. These items are beneficial because they are multipurpose, found in your home, lightweight and easy to carry or store.  Come let's feed your brain with these must have multipurpose items to add to your first aid kit.
