This mini-kit is made for the day user. Short trips, within urban or well traveled areas. By adding a supplemental kit to it, it's capabilities can be expanded.
Obviously, first aid kits are personal items. Everyone has their own quirks, but generally this is what I have in my kits. Adjust the inventory to your own usage and don't forget to actually use the kit every once in a while or you could find yourself with compromised 10 year old bandages.
