Outdoor Safety & First Aid

The Rugged Yuppie Safety & First Aid department exists because every outdoor adventure — no matter how well planned — carries an element of the unexpected. We carry comprehensive first aid kits purpose-built for backcountry and trail use, water purification systems, bear safety equipment, personal locator beacons, emergency survival essentials, and insect protection. This is the gear you hope you never need but will be grateful you brought.

We take safety product quality seriously. Every item in this department is selected for documented performance — not just good-looking packaging. That means water filters with verified 0.01-micron filtration ratings, first aid kits with complete and accurate contents, and emergency gear that meets the spec it claims.
