I have the REI Backpacker first aid kit. They don't sell it anymore but I like the red bag. I am a big fan of med kit bags being very obvious, red/yellow, etc. Easy to identify under stress.

If I bought a new complete kit I would get a NOLS, as they pretty much teach you how to use what is in it, and they know what you will need and what works and doesn't work in the back country. Click on one of the bags and you get a good content list of the basics.

I also have a Maxpedition FR-1. I like the smaller size and my range bag is a Max, so I can easily attach it to the outside. I do need to add some red to it as it is just black. They don't sell contents with it.

I do not have any milspec or other tactical features like Tourniquets, Field Dressing, or Downed Operator Kit as I have not been properly trained on those.

My skills are stop the bleeding, wrap the ankle, cover the blister and get home. Smile
