Pic related is a good start.
There are two kinds of kits and you should have both. First is a blow out kit, which should be able to handle the extreme injuries: think gunshots and severe cuts. Essential items include 2 (or more) tourniquets, 2x pressure bandages, sucking chest wound seal, 2x huge gauze pads (a maxi pad works great), hemostatic gauze pads (put these under pressure bandage), and for advanced medics, tension pneumothorax depressurization needle (thoracostomy needle) and intubation tubes + bag valve mask (Ambu bag).
Learn first aid.
The second kit is for all of the bumps, scrapes, and minor burns. The biggest problem is going to be preventing infection from simple injuries. The one thing missing from 99.9% of good medical kits is wound wash (benzalkonium chloride) GET THIS. Get a small generic spray bottle if it doesn't come in one. Do you stick a bandage straight onto a dirty, bloody wound? No. You wash it first. If you don't have clean water, which you should not assume you will, use the wound wash, dry it off with some simple gauze pads, then get a bandage + antibiotic on the wound. Get gauze pad with and without adhesive, get burn gel pads, get like 50x different configurations for bandages (feet, fingers, big, small, etc.).
