Have several kits of different sizes for the truck or backpack or camp, but the one thing used the most is 1 inch waterproof bandaids. They cover 99.9% of finger,hand and toe cuts and a lot easier to put on than trying to make one from duct tape and leaving blood smeared all over truck and camp. Usually with friends and family I go through a box of 30 a season and just stock up every spring when going through my gear.
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!

Check with the American Red Cross for lists of supplies to make a first aid kit and a trauma kit. Then put it them together yourself.
I needed a trauma kit on the 4th and it was a life saver.

Everyone else must have a better stomach than mine, but I'm never without some Tums or Rolaids. Somethin' about that camp food....

Thanks for all the great suggestions, I've been thinking about how to piece a first aid kit together.

Moleskin and Benadryl.  Last year my elk camp roommates used up the moleskin (blisters) and a doctor in camp was severely allergic to some local weed and really needed the Benadryl.

Don't forget the imodium and some Pepto tablets.  A bad stomach will end any trip in a hurry and vomiting / diarrhea leads to dehydration.

And some Ivy Dry or similar.
