First Aid Kit for UTVs
Share This Blog

Summer is around the corner - and for many of us this means venturing out into the backcountry for UTV rides. Some of us hit the trails year round! Although most of our adventures will be exciting, fun, and without incident, there is always a chance that something could go wrong. Even if you’re using your UTV on a camping or hunting trip - or even working around the farm, you need an adequate first aid kit on your UTV. They are invaluable. Just when you think you won’t need one, you will need one. To help with this, Intimidator recommends you always need to keep an extensive first aid kit ON the UTV at all times. Here is a list of some of the most useful items recommended to have on hand:


Personal Protection:


  • Nitrile Gloves (several pair)

  • CPR Mask

  • Hand Sanitizer


Medications:


  • Aspirin – for pain, fever, inflammation

  • Ibuprofen – for pain, fever, inflammation

  • Acetaminophen – for pain, fever, inflammation

  • Antihistamines/Benadryl – for itching or swelling

  • Cough & Cold Tablets

  • Antacids/Calcium Carbonate

  • Anti-Diarrheal/Loperamide


Wound Care:


  • Adhesive Bandages (several sizes)

  • Gauze (non-stick pads and rolled)

  • Second Skin

  • Athletic Tape

  • Irrigation Syringe

  • Hydrogen Peroxide

  • Triple Antibiotic Ointment

  • Moleskin - for blisters

  • Calamine Lotion

  • After-Bite Ointment

  • Hydrocortisone Cream

Of course, one size does not fit all when it comes to a first aid kit. This list is not all inclusive, but it is what we’ve found to be the most useful. We feel that you can never be too prepared. Make sure to take into account the type of terrain you’ll be riding in, the length of your rides and the weather conditions when considering what to take with you.
