Trauma kit w/GSW kit. What am I missing?

[admin]

This is a list of contents found in my level 2 trauma first aid kit. I have 2 of these kits assembled; one is located in my car and one is located in my survival kit. I carry this kit whenever i go shooting or am engaged in backcounrty activities. I dont always carry this kit hiking as i have built a smaller, less intensive level 1 first aid kit.
