    An ounce of prevention, don't leave home without it.

    Bear in mind, I am a very conservative driver. If I feel my equipment is not up to a trip, I won't go. If I think I can break parts doing something, I won't do it.

    For the vehicle:
    Fire extinguisher.
    Toolbox.
    A box filled with electronic sensors, actuators and relays.
    Spare serpentine belt, hose menders, hose clamps.
    Electrical kit.
    Tire kit.
    12 Volt compressor.
    Spare tire.
    Floor jack & Sheet metal.
    Farm Jack (depending).
    Recovery kit.
    Come-a-long.
    Shovels.
    A few gallons of distilled water.

    For the people:
    More water, I'll drink the distilled too (if the vehicle doesn't need it).
    Enough carbohydrates and extra layers to spend a night in the woods.
    First aid kit.
    Two way communication.
    Maps.
    Fire.
    Assorted cutlery.

    That is all I can think of or now...

    It's making me feel like an underachiever. Wheeling in TX, there's always someone to drag you back to the tow rig and then you can drive that home. I think wheeling here is going to be quite an education.

    U-Joint, I have one of those!

    I've used a hose mender once, and a few sensors from my kit box.

    Hmmm, let me think about this one.

    I am:
    Driver
    Mechanic
    Chief cook
    Bottle washer

    I get the seat with the steering wheel. Past that, we'll make-do.

    I actually have a pair of gators in each vehicle, even my DD. Even with shoes on, you can trudge through some decent snow and keep dry for the most part. They had the gators on sale at Costco for $5 each pair. Such a good deal to put in each vehicle, I think I ended up with about 8 pair.

    Actually I do carry bailing wire along with friction tape, shovel, fire extinguisher, flashlight, extra coat, gloves, hat, gators, tools, first aid kit, tp, air compressor, tire plug kit, re-sublimed iodine (water purification that doesn't deteriorate). I don't carry extra water while wheeling in the CO mtns, but do when in dryer climes.
