Not a big deal, really. People here always seem to think I’m a guy.
Carrying a real first aid kit is a good excuse to buy (yet another) pack! The ones I currently use (yes, more than one) aren’t really big enough to carry a reservoir, extra clothes, and the kit I’ve put together. I wear a lumbar pack or a True Northharness type. I’d like to get a bigger one of those - I don’t like wearing full on daypacks and having weight on my shoulders (makes my hands go numb). Mr Alpine will kill me - I must have 6 hiking packs.
I have to find my SAM splint still, but I’ve found a headlamp, leatherman, cravats, gauze, tape, bandaids, ace bandage and trauma shears. On order: alcohol wipes and antibiotic stuff, co-flex, non-latex gloves (for small hands - my husband has about a million of them, but they’re LARGE), eye wash, emergency blankets and a closed cell foam pad. I’m taking outlierrn’s quote to heart “Every day hike is 24 hours…”
I used to carry all this stuff after my WFR, but I guess I got lax when I’ve come across zero emergencies in the intervening 18 years in spite of lots of backcountry hiking and winter sports. Not even a car accident.
OK, this threw me for a moment. I’d thought Alpine was male. But then I remembered that I was thinking of enipla, who I always read as ‘alpine’. 
A friend gave me a headlamp a few years ago for night kayaking. Haven’t been night kayaking since I got it, but I do use it around the house. (It’s an old house, and the lighting sometimes doesn’t reach to nooks and crannies (or crooks and nannies) when I’m looking for something. I’ll have to pick up another one to carry in the car(s).
The only addition to all of this I would make is to carry a blanket or two, even if it’s just a couple of those ‘space’ blankets. I also carry hand warmers and a disposable camera in the glove box.
Yep, I’m a chick.
Oh yeah, I’ve also got handwarmers, matches and plenty of energy bars. Now we’re cookin’ with gas!
They are also great for working on the computer towers when you are crouched under the desk!
‘Computer tower’? I understand the words individually, but…
Duct tape, space blanket, paddling knife, and for extended remote trips, iodine solution, morphine sulfate, penicillin.
Oh, and when I travel to certain countries, my doc supplies me with Cipro and Levaquin, which I then keep in my kit until it expires. They match my hep A vaccines!
Just a regular upright desktop computer.
I just ordered a new pack for all my FA stuff, as predicted.
I know. My main computer is a Mac PowerBook G4, and my work computer is an old iMac G3. 
way to woosh me, eh
Oh yeah, he’s a bastard…
I’m back on my MacBook, so don’t start… 
Hee hee hee! 
When I walked away from my WFR course the condition that really stuck in my mind was anaphylactic shock. Potentially, someone can get stung by a bee in the middle of nowhere and 15 minutes later they’re dead. I categorize an epipen or an epinephrine kit as an essential item in any wilderness first aid kit, provided the responder is trained and certified to administer it.
Anna Phlaxis would be a good Doper name.
If you decide to go with the oral glucose, remember 2 things. You shouldn’t give it to someone who isn’t awake enough to swallow. Second, it freezes.

That was just something I thought of that wouldn’t be in an ‘over the counter’ kit.
This thread points out the desirability of having CPR masks. We were shown them in my EMT class, but we didn’t use them.
I found mine when I was digging out the rest of my gear, and thought it would be better to have it in the car than in my new hiking kit. Now I’m not so sure… god, how awful.

It’s not quite the same chemical. Medical glue uses “2-octyl-cyanoacrylate”, household glue uses “methyl-2-cyanoacrylate”. From Cecil’s column
Admittedly, I have talked with a few people who have used household superglue to close small cuts with no ill effects.
