I ask this because I just finished packing a pocket sized mini first aid kit, using supplies from our full size home kit. I’m sure people will mostly agree with the contents I packed, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

This is the kit I packed today, should I try to add anything else? There’s not much space left, but I can probably stuff a couple other flat packet items in there, so am I like missing anything obvious that might fit?

    You might consider splitting it into two separate containers, one with first aid components (bandaids, etc) and the second with medications (Tylenol, etc).

    I’d consider: a tiny packet of crazy glue. Ultra-thin 2-inch blade pocket knife. A small pair of tweezers. A couple restaurant packets of sugar, for diabetics.

      I’m not really looking to expand it past the mini single pocket kit I’ve arranged. My two main risks are between busted knees or busted knuckles, but I also have allergies and occasional belly issues, hence the benadryl and pepto bismol.

      But of course I have a little diversity of bandages, along with some medical tape. Hard pressed to fit much else in there though, especially any actual mechanical items.

      But… In my other pocket, I carry a Nextool Card Tool…

      Yeah it might not be the most functional tool in the world, but it’s actually amazingly well made for what it is, and part of my everyday carry.
