Besides the tourniquets,
People put WAY too much time and energy into thinking things that are a very low order of probability of happening vs things that are likely to happen. While a gunshot would isn't beyond the realm of possibility, what's most likely to happen at your hunting camp? Insect stings and bites, cuts and abrasions, sunburn, sprains and bruises.
Build a kit around those things. You don't need to spend $50 on a couple of tourniquets if you have a belt or $2.00 bandana and a ink pen.
In addition to the bug out bags we keep in each of our cars, we have one of these in each of them. If your 30 mins from civilization, this should get you through 99% of the situations you'll run up against.
Here's an Amazon link, but we got it much cheaper at Sams Club

If I get stung by a wasp and don't have a med kit with me....no big deal. If I get shot and don't have a med kit with me....much bigger deal.
I understand your point. I keep a med kit in my car to deal with minor injuries, scrapes, etc. My kit that I take with me hunting has life saving equipment in case shite goes really bad.

I'm with you on being prepared for whats most likely to happen.
But you lose me when you say your preparation for a serious incident, is to improvise.

This is the single worst piece of advice in this thread
