Essentials for dog first aid kit?

I have just bought a hiking rucksack and am kitting it out for walking with Cooper.
I've adapted it for holding my poo bag holder and his folding bowl, but I want to take a first aid kit with me that can be used on humans and dogs, what essentials are needed?
I have lots of vetwrap and could take diluted hibiscrub but is there a better alternative?
