Yes, I think sometimes I might be over prepared. But, I traveled for 10 years around the US in an RV alone and traveled/backpacked around the world and I've seen enough situations that merit all the stuff I bring along to maintain my sanity
As far as first-aid stuff, I carry everything for open sucking wounds, slashes or whatever because crap happens and that short amount of time is where live and death meet the road, so I always have blood clotting powder and a self-application tourniquet because I can't be depending on someone else. All my emergency stuff fits into one red dry bag.
