Little box or container with assorted bolts, nuts , washers , screws and electrical lugs and ferrules. I have such a box that travels along. Have saved the day for many of my co travelers.

My Pa ry nerens in die Kaokoveld in sonder sy moer box nie - 'n versameling van moere, boudte, shackles, hosepyp etc wat daarin is. Ek het ook so boks, maar myne het altyd twee 3,2mm welding rods in vir as ek van die battery af moet weld.

Crips,
I think its best to think of kitting out in terms of
Sets rather than specific items:
eg Coms Set would include VHF radios, cell phones and satphones with their supporting cords chargers etc
eg Tea Bag/Set would include coffee, tea milksugar,sugar, biscuits etc etcfor in car sustainance
eg Tyre Care/Puncture Set as I covered a while back
spares set
tool set
Fire/Cooking Set
Recovery Box/Set
First Aid Kit
Non-perishable food box
Cooler (semi-perishables)
Fridge Freezer as a set
Optical Equip : Cameras, Binos
etc etc
and each set would ordinarily have its own designated container w list of specifics belonging in them ...
just a suggestion .
