How do you verify what you can, and can not purchase with the HSA money?

Depends your plan, to some extent, though there are inclusions and exclusions that are standard.

Your provider should have the lists on their web, and .gov should have the common inc/exc lists.

If you only have Flex (FSA), you will generally have more leeway. HSA is a savings account, so you aren't constrained by use-it-or-lose-it, so take that into consideration.
I know we used to stock up on OTC med, bandages, cough drops, etc., but they eliminated the otc's from FSA on our plan.
I have switched to having HSA and FSA, but by doing that, my FSA is only valid for vision and dental expenses. I try not to use my HSA funds unless absolutely needed. They're earning inteterest for the future.

I'd say buy some kerlix, an Israeli bandage, a SAM splint, some petroleum gauze (lots of uses) and an ACE bandage. Spend the rest on training. If you know what "right" looks like, you can improvise a lot of things.

Training isn't on the FSA or HSA lists

I like that site when I'm trying to finish off the last of the funds. I wonder if FSA would cover an ITS trauma kit.
