Personal Carry Range Trauma Bag

I've seen these drop leg medical kits being worn at schools I've attended as well as worn by some combat medics, so I've been interested in them. Recently I traded some gear and part of the deal was an empty drop leg kit you see here. I've decided to start wearing it when I shoot so I'm deciding what's best to put in it.

Here's what I've got so far...

So what would you keep, what would you remove what would you add?

And why?

A Personal Carry Range Trauma Bag
An overview with pictures

I have been shooting more often and with more shooting sessions comes ah higher risk of being shot. Of course we all hope and assume we'll never be shot or shoot anyone on accident.

But the realist in me keeps me interested in being prepared for any eventuality. Especially with the limited amount of time when dealing with a gun shot.

Here's what I've got so far:

	This is the bag, a black nylon rectangle, the side unzips on three full sides with a zipper in each direction. I added a tie to the zipper pulls so they would be easy to grab with gloves, wounds, etc. I happened to use a tiny bungee cord I had around for the pulls so they are elastic which actually makes them almost spring around the corners when opening the bag
	The outside pocket is small but in it I keep two pair of purple medical type gloves. The purple / blue styles are typically the strongest stuff they make to hold up to abrasion. They are in a ziploc bag in case they get wet, but I'm not sure if that's adding extra time to a situation I might not be able to afford it. So I'll be adding a third pair this one outside the bag for faster access
	When worn on my belt it's on my weak side opposite my holster and well in front of my spare mags, etc It is in direct reach of my hand so all the items are instantly available to me
	While opened the items stay in place with elastic straps. Inside the top section are two rolls of non sterile gauze. In the center section I have a ziploc bag with a roll of medical tape and two sterile compressed (vacuum sealed) military surplus OD green gauze. rolls
	In the lower section is a pocket that contains a military surplus sterile pad and a ziploc bag with a few 4"x4" sterile dressings
	In the outside loops on the lower section I have a few simple tools: two tweezers, emergency scissors, two surgical clamps and a medium size airway

So what would you keep, what would you remove what would you add?
