This topic just came up on another (VS) camping forum.
I lived in West Virginia for 3 years and really got into backpacking. Every chance I got, I headed for the Great Smokie Mountains for car tent camping and if I could swing a few days, I would backpack a short section of the Appalachian Trail with a few friends. (a "short section" is considered 20-75 miles).
Anyways, a member of our group was a young doctor that gave seminars and helpful tutorials on first aid and first responder situations that everyone took to heart.
This is my First Aid Trail Pack that I have refined over the years and modified it occassionally to suit the short day hikes and Loop Trails that are usually found around campgrounds. This is not to replace the big First Aid Kit you keep in your car, van, truck or camper - this is a "downsized" version intended for short trips away from the campground.
