A lot of the bigger pre-made kits seem to have stuff I'd never use, so
buying the stuff separately would be a lot better.

So for starters it could include:

Plasters (lots, fabric/waterproof)
Tweezers
Gauze dressing
Burn cream

Anything else?


The fabric plasters (the coarse fabric) are really good. Add the similar
strapping reels, for holding the gauze on. The continuous (coarse)
fabric dressing strip is particularly useful.

* Spray on antiseptic powder
* Painkillers?
* Eye bandage
* Wound dressing
* Sharp scissors (for cutting dressings, and cutting away clothes in
dire
emergency)
