Survival kit

I'm thinking about a spare parts kit for the ol' van for long trips. Just want to cover the simple trip killers, such as:
Radiator and heater hoses.
Extra coolant.
Ignition module.
Distributor rotor.
Serp. belt.

Your ideas?

Booster cables and flashlight are a couple.

A throw away camera that is sealed. That way if you happened to get in a fender bender in the middle of now where. You have photographic evident of what happened…….it will be awhile before you would return home…….memories fade, photos do not.

Air pump, tire repair kit, extra wiper blades, though you can use a mitten in a tight spot for a wiper blade. Water, at least one gallon for each person. Paper towels.

Lug wrench, jack, prybar, complete socket set, complete wrench set, pliers, wire, wire cutter, connectors, spare bulbs, fuses, fluke meter, and a few other things i can't think of right now. But that's just me.
