Good Morning, this is just my take on the Individual First Aid Kit. There are of course commercially available versions that vary in price and capability. There are excellent individual trauma kits by numerous vendors. Here is what has worked for me based on my military and dad experience. This includes sources for the contents. (No flaming is necessary, I freely admit that I an not a doctor).
