I also used the white holey stick on tape( like physios use under strapping) for mountain bike grazes.

Vitamin and amino tablets, No-Doz caffiene pills, codeine, paracetamol, voltaren (not all at the same time), bootlaces, and of course elastoplast dressings and elastoplast strapping tape. I've also carried and used a thin piece of closed cell foam to protect shins from plastic boot chafing.
I don't carry bandages any more.
hmmm... panadol, gauze, strapping (rolled ankles etc), cotton buds, antiseptic cream... I'm sure there's more?
