Answers:

Everything depends on how much money you want to spend.

Prefab kits are usually cheaper, but lack supllies that I like to keep handy. I did notice you're mission some 4x4 gauze pads, rolled gauze, triangular bandages.

Here's what I have in my jump bag. You can pick and chose what you like:
* 12 4"x4" sterile gauze pads
* 3ea Large/Small rolled gauze (nonsterile)
* 4 triangular bandages
* 1 box assorted band-aids
* QuickClot (clotting agent for major bleeding)
* Trauma sheers
* 2ea Cold/Hot packs
* handful of triple antibiotic ointment
* Tweasers
* PeptoBismol
* Benadryl
* Alcohol Prep Pads
* Hydrogen Peroxide
* Pocket Mask (for CPR)
* Oropharyngeal Airway Adjunct (BLS Airway)
* OTC Bronchiodialator (friend has asthma)
* 1 small bottle each: Aspirin, Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Aleve.
* 1 jar Icy/Hot or VapoRub
* Handful of bite/string relief ointment packets
* Glucometer kit
* Cake Icing (sugar for diabetics)
* Vomit bag (empty, obviously)
* Blood pressure cuff/stethoscope
* Special hangover relief concoction.

If you have the money, you could probably buy an automatic external defibrilator. I believe those are OTC now. That is, if you have several thousand to blow. It all comes down to money/space and what you want to have in it.

Also, be sure you aren't exceeding the scope of your care. The Good Samaritan Law will let you practice some limited medical treatment up to a BASIC level. No open heart surgery or C-sections please!
