Personal Jump Bags

I'm going to ask you guys this, at the risk of being called a whacker (and yes, I know it makes me as such):

I'm looking at a personal jump bag because I'm doing a lot of med vollying for events such as the Ride to Conquer Cancer, Weekend to End Breast Cancer, stuff like that... They require that you supply your own equipment. I also do med for mountain climbing trips where the response times are very long.

With my current list of items (with other miscellaneous items included for myself), I'm standing at $692.55. List is here: http://alturl.com/xsnz

Now, when compared with this: http://sands.ca/it120002.html, the final prices are the exact same. However, this bag is fully stocked, and comes with more things which I'll need later on down the (not too distant) road. I know this bag is more than what I actually need in terms of size/contents at this point in time, but I am saving money and it keeps things all together in one bag.

Question is: is it worth it? Price difference in the end is ~6 bucks more.

LOL i'm volunteering at those exact event too! But they haven't said anything to me about supplying my own jump kit......just a stethoscope as far as I know.

I was told by the guys up here in Edmonton that we need to bring all of our own gear; I asked for clarification if that meant jump bags as well - their answer was yes. But then again they forgot to put me in the system for the past two months... grrr,,

On topic - I've already admitted it's overkill, with the O2 and had been contemplating what I need even before I made this thread. Yeah, needless to say I won't be getting all of that; if they want me to volly my time/knowledge they need to supply me with what I need.
 
Use the SEARCH, we have yards of stuff on these types of events.

How about being a really really good first-aider?
 
my local ems provided me with what i needed in my jump bag... even though i am just a volunteer and do not work for them... basically in my bag there is oxygen, mouth and nose pieces, bandaging supplies, and iv supplys.. oh and of course you cannot forget gloves.. (-:
