This is true. However, T'mi specified the "10 essentials" list is a
component of the customary required 24 hour pack. This is the list of
essentials for the individual responder.

I wear prescription glasses so my personal essentials list includes
another pair of glasses. I almost always have with me both sunglasses
and regular glasses.

Someone who takes prescription drugs or may need emergency epinephrin
or insulin should have that on their list, but this should be specified
not hidden under "basic first aid". Basic first aid does not include
prescriptions or injectables.

With one hand I can work all the tools on my Leatherman but I cannot
easily open out many of them.
