If you know anyone who works at a hospital, I'd get in tight with them and start building your own.

Hey cornkiller. Ive looked at those med bags before. They look nice but after a little looking i found that more than half of those items can be purchased at a dollar store. As for the medical instruments, between a walmart and a medical suply store you will be able to fill out the rest. And its always a good idea to get in good with some medical pros who have access to other items of medical interest. And after youve gotten all ur stuff to gether. you can weatherproof the whole shebang rather nicley with a food storage vacume sealer. Just my .02 cents bro. But i think you can put together a better kit for less than half that price. The bag on the other hand, while nice could be substituded for something less expensive, but equally functional. Good hunting bro.

Your best bet is to build your own bro. Find some Israeli bandages some quickclot a few tourniquets some med scissors and some tape a few unscented feminine pads. A SAM splint. Some other stuffs and use that as your CLS bag.
 ( Combat lifesaver bag )

Then build a separate bag for the other stuff. Like burnspray antibiotics stuffs like that.
