This has the basics and more. I bought 2, one to keep in my car and one to take with me in the backcountry. I am a BSA climbing instructor so a good first aid kit is a necessity. I am also a scout master. I took this with me on last summers week long camp and thankfully didn't need more than bandaids. It's nice to know that you can handle a wide range of emergencies. It is not the lightest kit, but it has a heck of a lot more than a light basic kit would have.
