Please post what you bring or any other cool ideas.

Here is a little of what I carry in the 80 for recovery and repair. I am still adding some basics but working on parts that I should have. Please let me know if you suggest something.

what? no hub socket???
 
Holy cow, you break that often?!
I take this rig on ten day off grid journeys and they don't have a Walmart out there. Plus I have to carry stuff for people that don't plan ;)
 
I carried a bunch of stuff, got tired of the bulk/weight, so put it on a diet. Then the truck was broken in to, and it was all stolen. So now carry three Harbor Freight bags: One has tools, only what is necessary, no 11, 13, 15mm, etc. The next bag has spares, misc hose, clamps, zip-ties, relays, wire stuff, etc. The last one has recovery stuff. In hundreds of trail days, it has worked, never needed more.

Ya I keep most of this in the Garage and put on in for big trips.
 
Chock(s)? Duct tape? small board for jacking (the car) on soft ground.

Switch out the carpenter's hammer for a ball/peen hammer.

Edit: FSM or relevant pages or electronic; telescoping magnet-thing
 
Epoxy; WaterWeld; plastic epoxy....

Multi-meter
 
I carry a crescent wrench, my shady mechanic and some sat internet.

My problem is; was out on Saturday, will be on Tuesday and Saturday.....

These are cheap Husky hand tools I bought just for overlanding.

My rig doesn't fly or float very well, so almost all of our trips are over land.
 
If you need first aid for spare parts and recovery your doing it wrong. Now do you carry them.... that's a different conversation.

Im just putting it out there. Sometimes recovery isn’t only a vehicle recovery. It’s just a good thing to carry especially if this lad is 10 days off the grid.

So, there is a difference between getting hurt when out for the day or camping for 10 days? IMHO, if you are away from services, the risk is the same.
