Here are all my small items:

I think you can tell what most things are except maybe:
1. Sunscreen (not used)
5. I don't remember
7. Immodium (not used, crumbled to dust)
8. Sample pack of neosporin (I refilled it now and then using a  
toothpick)
9. Ibuprofen
10. Glasses (sucks to be old)
11. Sewing needle inside a pencil led container (dental floss is my  
thread, I did use this)
13. Vicodin (enough to get out, never used)
14. Firestarter kit (never used)
15. Electronics and a dry-bag to put my camera in during creek fords  
(used)

For first aid, I really only ever used tape and gauze (sticks better  
than bandaids) and neosporin. Shirt and bandanas could have been used  
for bleeding.
