I like to look at it before I go hiking. Inside this little bag, if you are making your own medical kit make sure you put it in a plastic bag in case water gets in your backpack. You don't want it to destroy you medical kit. I have medication in case I get sick. I've got large and small bandages. Small ones for blisters and large ones for any larger cuts or anything like that. This is a great basic medical kit. You can use this and this will work just fine. You don't have to have a large one. If you do want a large one, they do sell bigger ones. I have this one. It has a lot of stuff in it. It's got instructions which is the best part in case you need to treat something that is more advanced than what you know to do with it.
