I'm a 20 year vet of the fire service as a ff/medic. In my experience I have not found a pre made kit with the money. Not that some are good just way over priced. I've found that buying the right side bag you need an put what you want in it. I have a very extensive kit with my background, it includes a suture kit an a small an large stapler for the wings that you can't suture. Multiple different bandages, tourniquet an a Sam splint. I have a host of meds. The cool thing is you make it this large out small.
