I would agree with your selection of basic OTC meds.

Sure, you can improvise in a pinch, but a nasty cut on your finger or hand is easy enough to treat/dress with a dab of antibiotic ointment and a band-aid. 3 or 4 bandaids and the individual antibiotic foil packs weigh essentially nothing and I don't see a reason not to pack a few. Blister treatment is also critical since your feet may be your only transportation. Add a couple of 4X4 for larger wounds.

I have noticed a trend among kits that tends to minimize first aid and adds more "exotic" items such as snares, fishing kits etc. I don't know about you, but while outdoors, I have gotten cut and scratched much more often than lost. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
