    Basically, that's what I did, for convenience.  I picked up one of the
Adventure Medical Kits a coupla years ago.  It saved me the bother of
finding all those components, plus a convenient way of carrying them.
Everything is neatly organized in it, with room to spare for other things
such as personal medications, etc.  Almost all the things I would likely
need are already in there.  All I added was more aspirin and ibuprophen, and
better forceps and scissors.
    I keep it in a small pelican case which has some extra room.  So I added
two CPR kits and a Sam Splint.
