Building Camping / Hiking First Aid Kit. Can I Improve On This?

I am putting a 1st-aid kit together in a case to take with me when I am hiking and camping, but holy moly it takes up a LOT of room. I was an Eagle Scout and former military, and looking to start to teach my daughters the craft of bushcrafting (firemaking, shelter building, and basic survival). This is what I have so far:

• 1 first aid booklet
• 4 ea - 3x4, 2x4, H Style, Fingertip, and Button adhesive bandages
• 2 - 2x3 adhesive bandages
• 6 - Butterfly adhesive bandages
• 4 ea. - Lg / Md / Sm adhesive bandages
• 2 - Pkts - Burn Cream
• 12 - Alcohol Wipes
• 3 - Antibiotic Ointment Packets
• 1 - Stretch Bandage
• 1 - Roll Gauze Tape
• 2 - 2" Rolls of Gauze
• 1 - Tweezers
• 1 - Scissors
• 1 - Safety Pin
• 2 - 3x3, 1 2x3, 6 2x2 Gauze Pads
• 1 - Mylar Emergency Blanket
• 1 - Spray Bactine
• 1 - Caladryl Bottle
• 6 - Pepto Tablets
• 3 - Immodium AD Tablets
• 2 - Tylenol Packets
• 4 - Clensing Wipes
• 1 - Blistex Extra Strength
• 1 - Bottle Visene
• 1 - Bundle Q-Tips (stored in 1 Qt. Plastic Ziploc)

What I know I am missing is:

• Cold Pack
• Other small medication packets (aspirin, antacids, bee sting stuff, etc)
• Triangular Bandage
• Stitches Kit
• Moleskin

Is there anything else? I have a little bit of room in the First Aid case left, but NOT MUCH, and the first aid kit got large fast.
