Knowing what to do in a situation naturally leads into a discussion about First Aid kits and what to include in them. My FAK is usually pretty small - I've got a micro kit (nothing more than a few bandaids and a couple of meds in a tiny plastic bag that I keep on me.)

I've also got a larger Adventure Medical Kit .5 that I've supplemented for my camping and which I carry in my everyday work daypack. Naturally, I also carry a PSK (revised AMK-Ritter kit), my everyday carry pocket knife, Photon lights, and a bandana that can also serve as a triangular bandage or two.

I'm not sure exactly how I want to modify the kit yet - perhaps a change in the sterile dressings, revise the meds, perhaps include a small manual or key cards for information. One thing I do want to add is a water-proof checklist of items to look for during the secondary examination. I'll probably modify my kit again when I take the WFR course, and revise the contents when I am with a group of people. Anyway, something to do to keep me busy this weekend! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hint: I'm always keen to hear suggestions.
