lightweight FAK + need a refresh

[admin]

hi, what do you suggest to include in a FAK for a 2 days backpacking? i need it to be lightweight.
the path is always close to villages and roads, so if there is an emergency, help will be there soon.

note: this is an emergency FAK, i usually carry with me some pills (headache, stomach problems).

also, i think i need a refresh about basic dressing:
the England flag, the Russian-something-arterial-tourniquet (the one you use a stick to tighten the knot) and the 2 other dressings with cloth strips (one to be used directly at the wound, and one that can be used as an arterial tourniquet without snapping the bones of the patient).
is there any video guide about it?

besides of that i remember it all very clear.

p.s
AHA! the the arterial tourniquet i couldn’t remember it’s name – it’s called in hebrew “the dutch arterial tourniquet”, hope it’s the same in english.
