There is was a free first aid book on line to give out as pdf. Bit late if you reading it during the accedent.
Re equipent im on phone will look at list later, as I am paramedic my list would probabley be more intensive than yours however have to decide what is really needed and what is not.
I do carry my own serynges and cannulas in case any blood or injections are needed I know they are sterile.

The NOLS Wilderness First Aid course is excellent. I am now in the process of getting EMT certified after a non-motorcycle mishap in India.
Everyone should be carrying a PDF of the free books:

Quick tip for those on a budget. If you see a paramedic on the street, ask them for stuff. It beats paying $10 for medical tape when they have lots

Any good first aid course will give you information on what you want/need to take as a first aid kit. The first aid course should last a minimum of 2 days, less than that and you don't have the time to get enough information.
The pdf books are good .. you won't have time to read them at first attendance for a serious thing, if the retrieval takes more that, say, 40 minutes then you may well have time to check for better treatments. Non serious things maybe best treated by the patent where the patent reads the section of the book.
