    PracMed is a NZ company that trains and supplies kits for first aid, with a focus on stopping preventable deaths due to bleeding (the "stop the bleed" push in first aid). https://pracmednz.com/
    Great company and great products. Whatever you take in, if you are unfamiliar with it, it will be of much less help then if you are familiar and comfortable with the indications for use and how to use it (specifically thinking tourniquet use, wound packing, and pressure bandages).
    Medical care being a specific interest of mine, I like to make sure I have more then the bare minimum on most hunts. But my non-negotiables are a pack of packing gauze, strong zinc oxide tape, a trauma bandage (also called an Israeli bandage), and a tourniquet. That will be on my person at all times while out in the bush, whether just hiking, or hunting etc, even if I've dropped the rest of my pack at camp. Again I think if it's important and time critical, no use leaving it at camp while you go out on a recce.
    My other larger kit will have meds, seals, and a mix of serious and minor items.
