offroad survival kit/tools to keep your rig going

what are yalls ideas for a perfect offroad tool arsenal, and extra truck parts. in my couple years of trail riding I can never seem to have all the tools onboard that I need if somthing goes wrong, normaly before a ride we just go through the garage and grab anything we think we might need and normally forget somthing.

I'm in the process of building a new rig and I want to keep it stocked and ready to go whenever nature calls.

some of my ideas include:

fire extinguisher, you don't want to helplessly watch your rig burn to the ground.

Air compresser.

spare tire

lug wrench

extra fluids

exra belts

extra hoses

tire iron

flash lights

first aid kit

??????????


What are your ideas?

Theres only one thing you CANNOT leave without, it is quite possibly the most crutial item. People rarely remember it, but as soon as you need it and dont have it, you realize you have made a DEADLY mistake.

The Absolute Most Important Practice to develope is to CHECK YOUR VEHICLE before a Run and soon after returning. Get out a large tarp or piece of cardboard and crawl under your rig and go from front to back. If you don't know what you are looking at get a service manual from the parts store. Check for broke, loose, worn and missing items.

Then the second most important item, NEVER GO ALONE. Travel with another vehicle with similar or greater capabilities. The Buddy System.

Then Lastly, Take plenty of WATER. You can live weeks with out food but onyl a day or two without water.

Then bring all the rest of the junk everyone says to bring, maps, toilet paper, etc.
