Tools to keep on hand?

[IanWard]

Neo- I totally agree. Those are two great tools. The m16 can be very useful! The moving blanket is a must have for working on the trail, unless you enjoy droping things in dirt/sand/snow etc. and then looking for them. The first thing you need for any repair is a moving blanket. I would pack tools behind the cooler with folding chairs on top of tool bags, a small sthil chain saw near the back somewhere with a first aid kit near the top( easily &quickly accessible ). The first thing you should see right on top is good made in America, quality heavy duty recovery gear (nothing from home depot or wallmart!!!!). Even just a good strap and two shackels minimum. It's almost impossible ( depending on who you are of course ) to overkill your recovery gear. If somthing bad happens, it normally happens quickly. When your hummer breaks down and you need to fix it you will be there awhile so get out the folding chars and beer cooler and tool bags to hold down the moving blanket and your ready to repair. A uhf/vhf radio is a no brainer( cb radios suck!). Tools i would bring are basic hand tools (no affiliation but snap-on makes a nice Bluepoint kit https://store.snapon.com/Product-Det...B-P874799.aspx thats a good amount of tooks in a little easy to carry blue box.), big and small hammer and prybars, pickle fork, butane or map gas torch, good recharable flashlight, zip ties, bailing wire, sour patch kids( these are great for plugging some CTiS leaks), wiring tools, floor jack & jack stand, electric drill and grinder with extra batterys and charger, etc. etc. liquid nitrogen bottles with regulator is great for running air tools. Also bring the spare parts that break like pmds and steering parts and ball joints.
