I only bother with stuff to help in a life threatening situation, I just carry the stuff for life threatening situations, anything else can wait till I get home or back to camp. Except for a bottle of saline to blast any crap out of my eye.

PLB is a good point, each hunting party should have at least one.

As for the tourniquet, just use your hunting belt, rifle sling or a spare polyprop and a stick.

Bottle of saline is also in my kit that I forgot to mention above. Can also use contact lens solution if you have it in your kit already, I used to use it all the time before I had my eyes zapped.

Always a balancing act between carrying enough to cover most bases vs carrying too much stuff to cover everything under the sun.
