I did the Wilderness Medicine certification in med school, and so at that time I built a decent first aid kit for my outdoor adventures, but I'm wanting to put together a fairly comprehensive first aid kit for home (IV fluids and supplies, epi/EpiPen, bandages, tourniquet, gloves, lidocaine w syringes/needles, suture, etc.) I'm just curious, for those of you who have a decent first aid kit, any recommendations?

All the home stuff is always scattered throughout the house. bandaids here, scissors there, other stuff elsewhere. My backpacking/camping first aid stuff is just a few gallon ziplock bags.

For the home kit, deciding between a bag/backpack and something more like a big tackle box. What do you guys use? What supplies do you include in your kit?
