I have had quite a bit of first aid training, and am currently up to date on CPR certification. My work requires both of these classes to be taken annually. I am also considering taking some EMT courses at my local community collage.

What you decide to put in your pack ultimately falls upon you. I just made recommendations based on what I feel is most likely to occur, but in reality, you know your situation best. Personally, I would want the ability to make a splint if I rolled an ankle. I would want to be able to control a couple decent wounds if I fell and cut myself. Those are definitely things that can happen if you are in an evasion mode. Try and think in those terms and think as to what type of stuff would best help your situation.Originally Posted by Sparkyprep

I would also add one more thing for bleeding control. I would have a couple small things of Celox or a small thing of Quick Clot. Seeing that your kit looks small I would probably go for the Celox packets.

It happened before, it can happen again.
It happened there, it can happen here.
It happened to that person, it can happen to you.

My med bag weighs 8 lbs. But, I don't want to do without any of the items I have in there, and would plan to throw a few clothing items in it to grab and go, so I have lots of room left. A few items I don't show in pic's, just plastic, towel, sterile gloves, bar soap, energy bars.
Our bags are multi purpose, but this one has mostly medical stuff.
personal meds, (blood pressure) would be added as needed.

The silver packs are those foil blankets. The plastic tubing is the water filter.
We go to yard sales, estate sales, and you would be surprised at how much of these
medical supplies I've bought for 10-25 cents, or a whole tub for maybe $3.
The foaming cleanser I bought a tub full of those. It's for bed ridden patients, so no water needed.

I might have missed it, but I would suggest a headlamp in your kit(s).

I do not have one in my EMS kit, but I have one easily accessible in my pack. It is in the same pocket as my FAK.

There are two big dangers with that.
1-If using the powder, it can get into the blood, but the pads are safe.
2-Shellfish allergies.
"Every person’s life is theirs by right. An individual’s life can and must belong only to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."
COFFEE!
I have a quickclot sponge in there. And I added a roll of self-clinging wrap.
