Also the meds will have to be rotated through. I also didn't see any wound closure stuff ( sutures, glue, steri-strips). Maybe some local anesthetic to help with cleaning wounds and closure.

Plan like its the last beer in the fridge.
@ lanky Yankee thanks for he advice taken on board kind of guess I went a little overboard with some of the kit. As for wound closure I have a load of steri strips and sutures no glue though nor local anesthetic maybe I shall add some.
@ poppies dad you are vaguely irritating and non helpful with your comments.

As an ex-ambulance tech (now called EMT) I agree 100% with this, intubation equipment would add more weight than value. You can't beat the old OP airway in an emergency, cheap, lightweight and easy to use.
Also you can't have too many triangular bandages (in my opinion), amazingly versatile pieces of equipment.
