Good suggestions and ideas...but one item that absolutely saved two different backpack trips I took is stuff called "tegaderm". It is a burn type dressing that is a semi-permiable dressing that works really well over a blister then the hiker can do additional blister care over the top.

It saved a 60 trip on Mt. Ranier this summer for me, and it also was a trip-saver on a high school group trip I led. It's kind of expensive, but it's terrific stuff!

It can be cut down to size, so a person can use it fairly spare way; it has become a MUST in the first aid kit.
