I end up having several left over from projects at work, so I have several similar to this LINK.
If I was in the market for one, I'd likely buy a quality backpack and put together my own kit. That's likely cheaper than some of the commercially produced kits.

I've got a decent one I have put together from things I accidentally left in my pocket at work. Other than that I have found some decent ones on amazon for your price budget.

The kit above is pretty good but needs more gloves, some superglue, Trauma shears, steri strips and benzoin, skin stapler, scalpels and suture kits and prolene and vicryl suture, and several rolls of koflex bandage. Koflex is available as vet wrap at tack and feed stores very cheaply. It is a God send for wounds on older adults as it does not stick to their frail skin and on finger tips as it form fits.

Thanks, I need to add those to bag.
The most important thing is training on how to use the kit.

I wouldn't know how to use most of that stuff. My timber cruising first aid kit was TP, a Leatherman, benadryl, motrin, and electrical tape. I could fix damn near anything with that.
Probably should've had an epi-pen, but I figured I could just take a whole pack of benadryl if SHTF.

BP, do you have a specific one? Or did you DIY?
Amazon has some good kits and I read the reviews to pick them out.

I considered getting an epi-pen but they expire quickly. Thanks BP for the info!

DIY, hospital and clinic supply. a nice soft side tackle bag works well.

Children's chewable benadryl. Since it's chewable it gets in the system a little faster.
At least that's what my allergist told me.
