I'll try and take some pics tomorrow and get a labeled list together. I have a ton in mine. I built mine as more of an emergency roadside kit for a family of 5. It's a large duffel bag with clothes, medicine, etc. I approached it from an outdoor/backpacking style and I've never really found the all-inclusive kits at stores too practical. IMO, too much stuff in those that you don't really use/need and other stuff missing from the kits that probably should be in there. Glad to hear you're building your own. I'll try to get some info up in the next day or so.

In addition to all of the normal bandaids, aspirin, and over-the-counter stuff, I carry a Sam splint, one way CPR mask, wound irrigation kit, some prescription pain meds, butterfly strips, and have recently added two suture kits. Crazy glue is good to have too, as are some clotting sponges. (Obviously some of this stuff is a bit overkill for day trips to the mall)

I carry everything from bandaids to liquid ringers (IV Bags). I have about 10 packs of quick injection 5ml morphine, quick clot, SAM splints, pressure bandages, tourniquets, decompression needles, a small burn kit, at least 2 IV Bags with all tubing and supplies to go with it (stays in the fridge for long trips), a bottle of saline etc. I am one of those, "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" people.

I don't know about y'all, but an additional thing that I carry in mine(other then almost everything else that's been mentioned) is a snake bite kit. Also if your willing to just buy one check out the galls website, they have everything from stuff my fire department uses and carries to basic first aid kits and everything else you can think of for stuff like that. Also try and pick up some tri-angle badges, you can wonders with those things(if they aren't already in the kit).

I carry quite an extensive kit myself, but if it is an overnighter I need to travel with a few of you guys. IV bags are the best hangover cure ever.

I carry much the same as above but I also keep sunscreen, insect repellent and sting cream but that's mainly because I live under the hole in the ozone layer and there's a healthy insect population.

I need to go through mine and replace stuff, I've left it in the Jeep too long.
Do you have a rolling ER room? morphine?

No I have just deployed my fair share of times and acquired things along the way. I have always been the alt. Medic.

Sorry for the photo dump. Mine's more of a bag that would sustain a family of five that is stuck in the Jeep while waiting for help. It does have first aid supplies, but more if we were to go off the road in the winter or get stuck for a long period of time with no help. Keep in mind, I also have a ton of other tools I've posted in other threads and we always take good winter gear anyways when traveling in the mountains that we wear on our person.
Here's the bag.
Flashlight and mace. Quick to grab.
5 hour energy for a quick boost, hand warmers, cheapy rain parkas, and a collapsable water bottle if we had to transport water.
Space blankets, rope, basic repair kit with tape/glue.
First aid with bandaids, medicine, mouthwash. Also signaling devices, also pen and paper to leave note if we left the vehicle. This also includes a water filter straw.
Fleece clothing for 5 people (hats, gloves, top and pants, and socks). Electrolite replenisher. Also have FEMA water in secondary mylar bag for protection. Sealed food rations (3600 calories). FixAFlat as well.
Inflatable toilet. Blue thing on the right is another water filter bottle.
Toilet Paper.
Food rations and emergency water.

Thanks. It works too! We original bought it for backpacking for our kids. Great item and light weight.
Nice thread.
I keep two separate bags in my jeep, one is a little one that I got from somewhere, I dumped the bandaids in it, and made it my "basic kit".
It has:
Germ-x
lotion
neosporin spray
tweezers (pointy and flat tip)
finger nail clippers
~20 anti-bacterial cleaning towelettes
Sting and bite pad/ointment
antiseptic gel
whistle
bandaid assortment
chap stick
medical tape
2x2 gauze pads, and 4"x 4 yards roll of gauze bandage
Ace bandage
Wet Ones antibacterial wipes
Ibuprofen tabs
Other one is the larger bag that came with my Trek Armor seat covers, and it handles a bit more. I have a lot of the bandages/tapes/etc in a small "ditty bag" I grabbed from Walmart with 3 separate pockets to keep things a bit more organized, and some of the large stuff goes to the side of the ditty bag in the Trek armor bag. I also wanted the Quick Clot , Olaes bandage, and shears to not be hard to get to and use, so those are just in the big bag, not the smaller ditty bag.
EMT shears
triangle bandages
larger gauze pads, up to 4"x4"
absorbent gauze pads
clear wound dressings
hypoalergenic adhesive wound dressings
smaller wound dressings
isopropril alcohol swabs
small roll duct tape
more "medical tape"
additional Ace bandages
Olaes modular bandage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbKDNuLB54A
sterile nitrile gloves, with disposal bag
purified water pipettes for irrigation.
25 and 50g quick clot sponges.
Need to get a tourniquet, snake bite kit, and a burn kit too.
I have a pretty good selection of wound dressings, bandages, cleaning swabs, etc due to my wifes job, which deals in medical supplies. Its no Morphine shot and IV setup, but the idea was I would be more prepared than the average car first aid kit for normal stuff, up to some basic gun shot wound care, based on the hobbies I am around or participate in.
As to other stuff, I keep sunscreen (cause of the wife), pen, sharpie, Surefire light, lighter, and a spare pocket knife in the car as well.
