That's a pretty comprehensive list of stuff.
The only thing I would add is DUCT TAPE : The stuff upon which civilization was built.

Someone on another board told me "any tool you use from your tool chest in the garage you need that tool in your Rover".

Offroading leads to things breaking and thus as the Marines would put it, a second echelon maintenance kit is necessary.

To wit.... This is an excellent list.
Except for the addition of bailing wire. It's an Oklahoma thing.

You forgot the tampons .... duhhh

OkieRover · 08-18-2005, 11:17 AM

You carry Beer in your toolbox? Wow!

Badger1 · 08-18-2005, 06:20 PM

Wait a minute! Your actually supposed to carry tools in a tool box? That's why the ice melts so fast!

roverX · 08-18-2005, 11:24 PM

Beer, that's all I carry. Everybody else carries the other stuff. I carry the important stuff.

Everybody thinks I'm crazy and makes fun of me or talks shit to me for not carrying/bringing any gear BUT at the end of the day, everybody loves me....

Car Craft Mags....for the wait after you make the guy you're recovering strap everything onto both vehicles.

Atleast I THINK that's what the guy was reading when I was hooking everything up on my last drive out!
