Also another good idea for park travel would be to take a small baggie and put inside a few bandaids, piece of mole skin, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment and any medication that will be needed (pain relief & antacids is always a plus) and keep this handy in your pocketbook, backpack or fanny pack.
Happy Packing!
