I'd love to hear opinions from folks about this one vs (1) other. Pre add packs, or (2) making up your own...

FearlessleaderI flip-flop regularly when I see pre-packaged medical kits, here and through other sites, between buying one and making my own. At this point, the only real factor keeping me from making my own is conveniece - I imagine more than a few people are in this boat as well.
I've owned a couple of kits from Adventure and they have sat in my pack until I lose them or buy another. They're nice kits, but at this point, it's been a waste of money for me.
I would think this is fine for general travel or light wound care. Granted, I'm not a medical technician but I've been in a few situations where I can speak from experience. Most of the time, I need band-aids or steri-strips, and this kit fits the bill. But, if you're like me, stuffing a handful of bandages into a plastic bag and calling it day will most likely be enough. Though the peace of mind, knowing you have more if need be, might be worth the price to others.

FearlessleaderI'd say make your own. Most of the pre-made first aid kits lack substantial large bandages/pads for serious wounds.
