Taking Care of Your Medical Kit
So That It Will Take Care of You
Shelly Galligan
We spend thousands of dollars on the latest safety equipment, and yet many boaters often forget about their potentially-life-saving medical kits. In this class, we’ll discuss what could go into your kit, how to decide, how to package your kit(s), and when to replace those items. Plus we’ll take a hands-on look at how to use the things that seem daunting. When you’re done, your medical kit will be your new best friend.
