Thanks again all for the input, some really useful stuff here.
Wow, plus the fact that you have to wait till you’re <26 or overheal makes the hp/weight ratio even worse.

Here, playing at different difficulty level comes in, that defines the value of advanced first aid kit.
Playing on Adventurer difficulty, you’ll get hit and often end up with 70HP or 50HP remaining, unless you skip healing yourself where you end up below 25HP. On Guerilla difficulty (where i play), it often takes 1 hit from machine to drop my HP down to 20 or so.
Due to this, advanced first aid kits are more valuable in higher difficulty level. Also, the time that takes to heal yourself is also shorter. Just consume one and switch back to a weapon. With simple or standard kits, you have to consume them several times to get your HP from 20 back to 100, costing you time that you may not have, especially on higher difficulty.

A bit off topic but I’ve read, of course avoiding digging in too deep, that in Guerilla difficulty the game changes into a run-and-gun affair because traps and strategy are no longer as viable as brute force damage. I really hope this is incorrect - Our plan, whilst taking our time enjoying Skirmish is to complete the game on Guerilla difficulty afterwards. (Kids and I are a bit addicted to COOP - been playing MC,7d,ARk,RftA etc for a couple of years)
Edit: RotA => RftA

What is MC and RoTA?
And yes, Guerrilla is hard, i doubt you will be ready for it without experimental weapons (mostly the EXP PVG90), lots of ammo and medkits and being level 31 having the right perks, like Vanguard.
Don´t want to be rude, but that´s how it is.

I carry only 3 weapons (exp PG90, exp AG4 and 5* AG5, all fully upgraded), ammo (5.56, 7.62 and .50) and medical supplies. Nothing else.
I haven’t found any good use to grenades, flares, distraction devices, EMP, fireworks, etc. They are more of a gimmick than actual use for me.
My (Doom like) play style is always putting as much distance between me and the robots as possible, strafing like crazy and shooting them with single fire to the critical points until they are nothing more than smoking pile of junk.

How I sort my stuff:
Character 1 / lvl. 31 Vanguard -
Retired due to crappy perk choices, carrying nothing.
Character 2 / lvl. 31 Vanguard -
6* PVG 90 with 600 rounds.
6* KVM 59 with 5-7000 rounds.
6* Kpist with 2-3000 rounds.
5* Magnus with 150 rounds.
5* Brönnboll Bat.
10 sticky flares + 10 fireworks.
20-30 adrenaline shots.
Lots of medkits.
Character 3 / lvl. 9 Marksman -
6* PVG 90 with 600 rounds.
5* Älgstudsare with 150 rounds.
6* AG4 with 5000 rounds.
5* Sjöqvist with 200 rounds.
5* Magnus with 150 rounds.
10 sticky flares + 10 fireworks.
20-30 arenaline shots.
Lots of medkits.
Character 4 / lvl. 0 -
Currently my mule, carrying some surplus of ammo and medkits, but most importantly carrying my own collection of fully modded weapons. This character only serves to hold things I want to keep for myself and maybe use later.
Plundra -
Holding some extra ammo of the types I use the most. Also some spare medkits and adrenaline.
I mainly use the Plundra to store a large variety of 5* and a few 6* weapons, and a ton of 5* attachments that I want to give away whenever I meet new players who actually need them.
(So anyone, let me know if you need anything if you’re on PC.)
I never pick up gas tanks, fuel cells, radios, comm arrays, EMP’s, frag and smoke grenades, Paramedic packs, and I don’t really use the M/49 grenade launcher either…
That being said, endgame and new game playstyles are very different in this game.

Not wholly correct, sir.
While run’n’gun only is a good manner, it actually means RUN and gun.
90% running, taking one or two shots and hope you hit.
Tactical approach is more interesting.
Long distance engagement, use of terrain, use of cover, …
Especially in Gorilla Mode it’s unwise to go p close, sir.
Them botsies are tough, and they dare to shoot back, even. 
Then, and this is a horrible shame, there’s no death penalty.
IMHO there should be a damn heavy one.
All skill effects reduced, and will regain over an hour or so.
Folks care not for death, and that’s extremely bad juju… 
Can be done, I did it, sir, and doing this again…
Went from endgame Marksman to Vanguard, as MM is buggered.
It is very doable, if one uses his brain, sir.
THIS!!!
Same here, sir.
They are no more than an annoying inventory filler to me.
Though, I prefer a more tactical approach, myself, sir.
LVL 22 Vanguard:
Gold Klauke - Gold Silencer: 250 rounds.
Blue '59’er - gold LMG Compensator: 1000 rounds
Gold A4 - Green 4x8, blue Silencer, Green Clip: 250 rounds.
Purple .50 - Purple 6x12: around 350 rounds.
HP Packs: as many as I can carry (and find, of course), so to speak.

After getting fairly experienced, I ended up systematically dropping the following:
- All non-AP ammo (I only keep 500 units of each type and still collect the rest but only to dispense to the team)
- All small fuel cells and compressed air cans (Medium/Large fuel cells are plenty enough)
- Once you get your hands on a decent PVG90, discard all .243 and .270 ammo forever
- All excess handgun ammo, maybe store 50 units of each max
There’s probably some I forgot but that’s the gist of it.

You have always to contradict me 
Of course it can be done, but he is playing with kids, and he is a new player, it can be done but it will be frustrating to have weak weapons, not enough ammunition and not being a Pro or Veteran , in the end they will die a lot of times.

Do you guys play on PS4 by any chance?
Contradictory, sir, I was merely stating it can be done.
I never said, it would be easy, either, sir.
My apologies if it seemed that I wanted to contradict you for the purpose of mere contradicting you.
That was not the intention…
No PS4 just PC mate.
I was going to offer assistance with free ammo and some guidance, but I´m on PS4.
Can´t help you then

All good thanks 
, we like roughing it - Just don’t like the “inventory game” slowing us down but we’re getting there. Just upgraded my Carry Capacity and that does help quite a bit.
Each Region has a command bunker, after the bunker is cleared, it´s one of the best places to replenish supplies.
The Archipelago is also another good place to replenish.
