I can see a few things I would remove, but everyone's perception of needs is
different.

I found that Benedryl cream works much better than hydrocortisone for some
things like bug bites, poison ivy, and stings.  Hydrocortisone still worked
better for heat rash, though.  You might consider adding Benedryl.  At the
least, add Benedryl tablets to your first aid kit in case you have a bad
allergic reaction to something (hives/generalized swelling/airway problems).

Have fun!
