Planning a camping trip? It’s summertime and it’s a great, family activity for a weekend away. Dr. Mia Finkelston, who treats patients using Live Health Online, tells us the top 5 tips she gives someone before they go camping.
-
- Never go alone and tell someone where you will be in case of problems.
- Bring a phone, even if you are trying to unplug, it’s good to have in case of an emergency.
- Pack a flashlight with extra batteries. Once the sun goes down, you’ll be happy to have a flashlight. Plus, it’s great to have for ghost stories.
- Bring plenty of water for everyone. It’s important to hydrate, especially when camping in the summer. Most likely, there won’t be cleaning drinking water out in the woods so be prepared.
