I have to agree with the layered approach. If I tried to nail down everything in an ultimate EDC, I'd probably be a case for the men with butterfly nets and white coat.

I'm just starting with the emerg prep/survival plans and am just starting to prepare my kits. I'd suggest a few band-aids with alcohol cleansing pad/anti-biotic creme. Preventing an infection (particularly if soap and clean water not available) is less painful than treating and curing one.
