You will always want to carry a first aid kit, or have one nearby.
Carry your personal first aid kit in your day pack. It will handle most minor problems that you can treat yourself. Be sure to take along your prescription medications including allergy treatment if you are prone to reacting to insect bites.
The family first aid kit goes where the whole family goes. That might mean in the car while travelling, in camp, or in a backpack. The family first aid kit should handle situations where one person must render basic aid to another.
Everyone in the family should know some first aid. Even young children can learn to stop a bleeding cut, or to get help.
