My dad is a paramedic and told me the most I will ever need is some 5x9's, tape, triple antibiotic ointment, gloves, cpr mask, water (THE CLEANER THE BETTER), and a cell phone. There might have been some more stuff but that is what sticks with me. Everything else is beyond my skills. I do have a surgical kit from CTD.com, but that is only if someone trained is present or can tell me what to do (only in a pinch). I do plan to expand my kit as my education and training increases.
