As said above and:
Pull strap
Jack
Blocks of wood
spare tire in an accessible place (just in case you are in need of it and are stuck in mud, or something along those lines)
Jumper cables (never leave home without them)
Military shovel
Screw drivers
Hammer (or a golf club)
Fire Extinguisher
Cell phone and a cell phone charger
first aid kit
extra fluids (antifreeze, washer fluid, oil, power steering, brake, etc.)
and always, bring a friend along to distibute weight evenly if you are a fat ass like myself

a high lift is nice (as long as you repect its hidden agenda......which is your domise)
I never liked using comealongs, as it is you are testing the outer limits of its capacity, and then to make it worst you are forced to be directly in the path of the cable because of the short little handle. But ive never broke one.

Depending on where you live you find find them at a decent price. Tacoma Screw, in the NW, has them a lot cheaper than offroad stores. It beacuse they are used for work not play. But it seems that, shipping aside, everything is cheaper online.
