In my continuing obsession of all things trauma I've put together a large team based first aid kit. The goal of this kit is to provide supplies on a larger scale and serve as a resource for a larger group.
For example, should we decide to ride out a hurricane at a relatives house, I would pack this kit with me. If we go on a camping trip with a group this would go along.
So here's a picture of the bag itself. It's made by Gregory. I picked it up for $40 at an emergency field medicine training class. The instructor had a pile of bags and my GearWhore nature took over. It measures about 2' tall by 14" wide.
The bag is nice in that it's a large briefcase but can also be used as a backpack (straps are contained internally. If needed simply give them a tug and they come free).
The bag has different panels that have mesh pockets. The mesh pockets allow for quick identification of the contents while the individual panels are able to be removed for quick access or easy rearrangement inside the bag (held in place by velcro).
To the far left of the bag you'll notice a flashlight and loose role of duct tape.

Inside the first pocket is what I call my trauma wound pocket. It contains a gunshot kit (Israeli bandage, Celox packet and triangle bandage), triangle bandages, TK04 tourniquet, ace bandages, Kerlix gauze, plastic gloves, etc.

Directly below this are additional trauma related items such as an IV start kit, large chest-sized Israeli bandage, gauze wrap and ace bandage.
