It's alot of stuff but it's a lifesaver when ya need it.
I'm sure I'll think of somemore stuff.

You bring up a really good point, what to carry. I went down and spent the $100 or so dollars for a craftsmen tool set with sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers. I also carry 2 Mag lights (4D and 2AA), 2 sizes of cresent wrenches, ball peen and of course a BFH lol. As far as safety stuff I am required to carry a fire ext., triangles, etc. If I head up north in the winter I have a bag I throw in with a very warm mac tools blanket, 2 MRE's, matches, and a candle. Then on to parts, I carry a small peanut can full of nuts, bolts and washers (the washers realy help if you don't have the exact size) I don't bother sorting them just throw them in a can so they take up as little space as possible. Like you said, seems like a pain but you will never say that again when it saves your butt and gets you home!!!!
