anyway, If you take a Cruiser you need a buddy with a jeep to tow you out.

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 .
