Wow, I feel pretty inadequate here. The bag I have in my vehicle has the following:

B/P cuff and stethoscope

Adult C collar

Adult BVM

Combitube

a few roller bandages

2 or 3 8x10, a trauma dressing, half dozen or so 4x4

a roll or two of 1" tape, normally about a 1/4 of the amount of tape on them

trauma shears,

one or two cheap space blankets

a few of the large heat pads for hands

a cold pack

a bottle of baby ASA

3 or 4 pairs of gloves

penlite

window punch

seatbeltcutter

OPA

various size bandaids

a couple of occlusive dressings

one or two pressure dressings

2 or 3 triangle bandages

When I worked construction, I also used to have a bottle of iodine as well.

I feel that is is a pretty adequate bag for what I am going to come across. I have used it numerous times on calls both around my home area, and when visiting as far away as the west coast. It has always been pretty well rounded, and it fits into one of those nice smaller "first responder" bags that catalogs sell.

Now when I am deer hunting with the guys, I carry a kit that fits into a one gallon ziplock bag. It has pretty much just trauma gear. Shears, a couple of pressure dressings, a few occlusive dressings, a whistle, two space blankets, and 4 or 6 large heat pads a couple of 8x10's and a few 4x4's with a small roll of tape, for those nuisance cuts. The idea here being that god forbid something happens, we can stabilize you with basic skills as we get help on the way, and get one of our vehicles out into the field to bring you to the road.

I am not saying that those of you that carry alot of stuff are nuts. I am just glad I am not your back. Seriously, I can understand that some of you folks can be stuck out there on your own for awhile, and I applaud you for what you do.
