During a weekend hike, Olivia twisted her ankle after slipping on a wet rock. Her friend Ethan quickly checked her foot and realized she couldn’t walk back down. Fortunately, they had packed a first-aid kit. While Ethan wrapped her ankle, Olivia called the park rescue number. Within an hour, help arrived. Although the situation was stressful, both were relieved that they had prepared properly. Olivia later said, “I’ll never underestimate how important a first-aid kit is again.”
