This is my universal first aid/foot care and repairs kit used for most trips. When I first created it I took a lot of inspiration from andrew skurka.

https://andrewskurka.com/updated-first-aid-foot-care-and-gear-repair-kits/

When hiking in a bigger group and/or using dangerous tools (e.g. axes, ice axes...) then I also include a CAT tourniquet.
