Some more things that would come in a standard first aid kit would include: some of your sterile gauzes to wrap your injury with, elastic bandages to wrap up any sprang or swellings to reduce that. You also have some athletic tape use to wrap around any kind of wounds or anything you need, some large gauze pads to help cover up any kind of abrasions or deep wounds, you've got some mole skin in here to help cover up any kind of blisters it's always a great idea to carry this with you no matter what you're doing and as well as some regular small sized surgical sponges to help soak up any kind of bio or blood that you'll be exposed to."
