I’ve always loved a good hiking trip. You get away from it all, you get good exercise, you’re surrounded by beautiful scenery, and then you’re down with bad scrapes on both knees. Well, that’s the way it was last fall, anyway. It was a good thing I’d thought to bring a wilderness first aid kit. You see, those scraped knees don’t seem like much at the house, where you’ve got plenty of soap and clean water and disinfectant and antibiotic ointment on hand. On the trail, you better find a way to get those scrapes treated or the next thing you know you’ll be nursing an infection.
