At 70 + I always have some band-aids in my wallet. My other kits are very much like what you carry. My meds and age make bleeding from minor cuts and scratches common. Good kit you have there.
Add a couple pain relievers with a sleep additive (ie, Tylenol PM). Helps if you need to catch some Zs. I'd also suggest a bug repellent (Bens Wipes) and sunscreen. I have Ziess lens cleaners in my kit to clean my glasses. Neosporin used to make single-use packages but not any more. However, there are other companies that do make them.
Just a small tip, try to carry latex free bandages as you never know who you'll run into. A lot of Band-Aids have latex in them, you have to look specifically for the latex free ones.
Jon, good to see you using Band-Aid brand strips. I use them exclusively as I have found that every other brand is inferior in quality, especially with the adhesive. The cheap dollar store types are garbage to use and they dry out quickly in storage. I suggest using the sport or waterproof types as they will cover the need in all situations.

Great video, lots of good stuff in there. You’ve got me brainstorming for my kit. Thanks!

Nice kit, I keep something similar on me at all times.

Thanks a lot for the video! I see a few things I need to change with mine! Best wishes!
I saw a patch today for a ifak, "Ouch pouch"...
It will be mine oh yes,
It WILL be mine.
Nice little kit there!
nice kit
A straight sterile thin needle would be helpful to dig a splinter out. Also a small sterile stitch kit or stitch bandage just incase.
What's the name of the stuff you have in the straws??
