First Aid Kits

[hcpookie]

Tried searching but I cant' find a thread already. It seems "aid" is too short a word to produce anything valuable and "first" is too vague. Anyway... looking to build up a good 3-4 day kit. Lots of kits out there FS nowadays but to me they are extremely overpriced. I am NOT planning to do any surgery unless it is to remove a splinter because I'm not qualified, so I don't need any of that "for military use" trauma stuff. Thinking about sprains, cuts, broken bones, etc. Stuff you'd expect to get on a camping trip scenario. Maybe even burns.

This is what I have so far... anything to add? A tourniquet? Other medicines? Quick-clot stuff? Anything else?
