This thread was started in 2005 and has at list 1 post every year for the last 15 years.... So to keep it going for at least 16 years here is my
addition which I did not see during my quick glance at the lists...
A blacklight flashlight to go scorpion hunting.

Be sure to add a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and a hammer to the scorpion hunting kit - the rubbing alcohol slows them down enough to wack with a
hammer.

Passport is excellent advice. I think I remember that to fly out of Mexico it is required. So if you have an emergency and you need to fly back you
are ready in that regard.

Tools enough to fix toilets. Pliers, wire cutters, wire.

The cheater bar has saved me as well! 2' galvanized plumbing pipe from Home Depot. Even came with a blue cap on one end!

Take a cheater bar to bust loose lug nuts when you get a flat. I just had to change a tire and I couldn't have done it without my 4 foot cheater bar
(a piece of galvanized pipe that fits over the lug nut wrench). The yahoo who rotated my tires last year must have gone crazy with the impact wrench.
In general be totally prepared to change a flat. In addition to the equipment that came with my truck I take the cheater bar, a two foot long 4x12 to
use as a base for the jack, and an extra bottle jack.

Absolutely! My cheater bar is part of an old Yakima basket rack. Perfect diameter and super strong. In my truck always. |

Portable power
How about a battery pack with a USB port that you can jumpstart your car and have back-up power for your electronic devices? has this been mentioned
before?
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
