Ace bandage, cloth bandaids, antihistamine, asprin... Hope you don't need any of it.

I would substitute ibuprofen for aspirin (higher doses upset the stomach less). Add triple antibiotic ointment, dental floss, lip balm (lysine prevents cold sores), decongestant (sinus headaches), Imodium (diarrhea), broad spectrum antibiotic tablets from a Dr. friend and a few non-stick gauze pads. Remember, your Therma-Rest-Pad and duct tape make a good splint

Also: a thermal blanket (lightweight, made out of mylar) to keep injured person warm and prevent shock; electrolyte packet for volume replacement in case of bleed - both available at REI.
