You don't need alot of everything because you can replenish it (so like, 1 of everything).
1. Some sort of antibiotic ointment
2. A cleanser--a betadine swab or pad is the best (alcohol is too irritating for open wounds)
3. gauze and a "sticky wrap" like cobain/coflex (in the drug stores) or tape
4. small ace wrap
5. liquid bandaid skin glue
6. cold pack or something to put ice in (baggie etc)
7. Aspirin/tylenol
8. needle/safety pin/matches/tweezers (stuff to remove splinters)
you must include betadine and hydrogen peroxide... and cottons of course...
antibiotic ointment
Simple and small first aid kit. 4x4 gauge...small roll of cling gauge..plus what you already have. All your really going to use it for is bleeding control. I'm a EMT and we use alot of these in the field. You may want to check in a sporting goods store too...they have real nice small kits for a couple of bucks all ready to go.
You should include some Tylenol also.
