If you do a little research (reading) you will find topics like "aid bag selection" have been discussed with significant input from some of the members here. Gall's was around when I first started running rescue in 1979 / 1980-they are affordable and gnerally not geared toward a military market. Similarly, their equipment is not designed to stand up to the demands of a military missino or environment.
As far as going to Wal-Mart...keep in mind that you get what you pay for. When conditions are their most severe is when you need your kit the most. That is when you want to be certain that the nickles you saved don't cost you a fortune in failure.
