The back pack is awesome and was a very generous gift.

I’m also working on making a home made first aid kit.
So far in my first aid kit I’ve got
Hibiclense
Saline solution
2 packs of 4x4 sterile gauze
An assortment of band aides
4 4x4 non stick bandages
A few rolls of gauze bandages
Tape
-ibuprofen
Benadryl
Tylenol
And a small pair of trauma shears



I would consider adding a SOF or CAT tourniquet to the first aid kit; and learn how to properly utilize it. For the size and weight there's no reason not to have a tourniquet when you may be quite some distance from help.
