Contents of a first aid kit.

I missed one thing in this kit. A "Space blanket", first aid-foil, heat-sheet..
A blanket large enough to wrap around a patient to prevent hypothermia. Wounded persons will begin to freeze very fast. A space blanket has one silver side and one black side. Use it with the silver side facing the patient to reflect heat and the dark side out to absorb heat. Also it is so small it will fitt into a pocket.
