WHAT TO PACK

• In extreme conditions, consider 5 to 7 litres of water per person per day • Electrolyte replacements (e.g. Game sachetes) or make your own rehydration drink – 1 litre of water (boiled and cooled if you suspect contamination), 6 level teaspoons of sugar, teaspoon of salt • Sunblock (and add sunblock to your first aid kit as a backup) • Burnshield (it’s good for both mild sunburn and direct heat burns) • Aloe moisture bandages. They disipitate heat from the burnt area and provide a germ barrier. • Flamazine ointment • Normal bandages (when moistened, they also soothe burns) • Gauze
