I bought two zip pouch first aid kits. I'm not totally sure where I
would have one of these kits, and need to do first aid. The kits are
too large to fit in a pocket. Too large to fit into my fanny pack.
Both vehicles have larger than this first aid kits. Maybe to remove
metal working splinters?

Ah, well. Not to be deterred by reality. What to put in such a zip
up kit?

I'm thinking along the lines of real store brand bandages. Store brand
roll of tape. Maybe some of the medications I take, in foil packs.
Cough and cold pills, allergy pills, pain pills, diarrhea pills.

What else might fit into a small zip pouch? Dental pain cream?

I like this web page, the animated discussion. By people who know.

How small?
You can buy most of the OTC stuff in small single dose packs for first
aid kits.
Them I would add a GOOD pair of tweezers, a pair of forceps (for larger
things and to hold needles and such.
A couple rolls of gauze, a small assortment of different bandages
(knuckle, fingertip, medium and large band aids)
a tube of triple antibiotic ointment, a small tube of ichthammol drawing
salve. A couple small tubes of crazy glue (the little single use ones
work well) small bottle of saline/eye wash. couple short strips of
aluminum (thick enough to be stiff but easily bent) A couple of the
mylar emergency blankets and a roll of mechanics wire. Plus a small roll
or folded square of duct tape and some bandage tape.

If you have a bigger case then I have a bigger list.
I have an in home kit that would probably be the entire medical office
in some places.
The kit is stored in a Plano 1155 tackle box!
