I agree with the "only take what you know how to use" philosophy to a point(pretty close to the end). There is a common sense factor involved of course. I'm not going to try to give someone a shot of epinephrine because I have no clue what I'm doing but who is to say someone else in the party might not know how to use a particular item. I am just looking for those things that have real world use by the average person. Again, I want something a little more extensive than a glorified red nylon cordura bag full of bandages from REI.
