Another IFAK (First Aid Kit) thread...
If there is a lot of bleeding most First Responders I have talked to are of the opinion there are never enough 4x4s. I might up your count on those.

Do you have a need for two bags? One for very warm weather and one for very cold weather?

Not really. You're not going to be treating stuff like hypothermia, frostbite, sunburn, or heat exhaustion with the contents of a true IFAK. An IFAK is a small trauma kit for treating life-threatening massive bleeding (and sometimes a small amount of additional "boo boo gear" for more basic issues if the space allows), not a large full-blown medical kit for treatment of a wide variety of medical issues.
