I bought a small nylon wash bag for a £1 ($1.90) and made my own kit, I canabalised a couple of older ready made kits I had and bought some stuff from the pound(dollar store) and the chemist shop (drug store), and my kit is much better than most of the ordinary kits you can buy, and my kit contains a lot of stuff you would only find in the much more expensive kit aimed a pro's

this guys is a real clown. glad to see the comments pick up on that. put together your own kit. btw spend a little time and take a red cross cpr/firstaid class so you dont have to carry a book.

I love how it ends by cutting off the most important part " One of the most important things is the chance of shock, in that even you want to...." It's like a man on his deathbed saying "I hid $1,000,000 right next to the....."

The only good thing about a commercial backpacking kit is the purdy waterproof bag you might get, and the reality that if you have to make your own, you may not get around to picking something up like burn ointment, anti-diarrhea medication. Two things you probably would really wish you had with you, if you actually have a need for them. Make your own kit, but make sure it's complete.

The best way to do it is to look online for kits and then make them up your self by buying the things you need, much cheaper, also if your part of a group of hikers then you can get together and buy stuff in slightly larger amounts and break it down and share it, and as for the pretty bag you can buy then empty online for a few pounds/dollars if your that bother, personally I just went to the pound/dollar store and bought a nylon wash bag that more than big enough for what I need.

Comercial first aid kits are indeed a rip off. You can make your own to fit in a one gallion zip lock bag for under $10. Last time I looked a good sized comerical kits was close to $25, and still didnt have everything that one might need. Save money, save room make your own.
