Not sure if this topic is of any interest, but thought I would share what I am doing to get my initial first aid kit built. I am pretty much following a guy who bought a similar first aid bag via Amazon and then proceeded to provide high resolution on how he supplemented it in the review he wrote (its the first one and one must expand to see the list).
I haven't gotten all of the drug store related meds and this point, but most of the supplies are on order.
