Funny how it feels like some people go /out/ with next to no first aid.
Yet some people seem to be walking ambulances, to the point that it's not "first aid" anymore, but more like "the only aid you'll need because I have everything already bro".
Otherwise, I myself carry:
- enough stuff to clean wounds and protect them: gauze, wetwrap, tape and alcohol/iodine disinfectant
- a tourniquet for bad situations
- tweezers and scissors
- plenty, plenty meds and ointments for common (and very problematic) problems
Light, simple, and enough for what I call "situations worth fighting against", or in other others, I consider that you don't need more stuff than you could possibly use before being dead.
Like, no need for a dozen tourniquets and 10 miles of tape, because you'd already be dead before you can use even half of that.
Pic related is the only situation when I don't carry a first aid kit, for pretty obvious reasons.
