It looks good. A little doubling up like the alcohol pads and neosporin, or several different bandaids. I would switch the detail floss for needle and thread. I might include some iodine tablets just in case.

There are a couple of things you might want to add, for starters something for itching, maybe a benadryl cream. Another small and light thing to add would be liquid skin. It won't help for any major cuts, but for scrapes and small cuts it works great. It also has an antiseptic and a topical anesthetic in it. The other thing I take along is a small ace bandage in case I turn an ankle.

I always have a few bandaids in the box too. If you scratch yourself on a branch or trip you don't want a huge bandage on when you could be wearing a bandaid!
