Ive got my tauma bag, a tow strap, mag light (double duty as baton) and the most important tool, a cell phone (with E911, which is a service that uses your phones GPS to find you when you call 911)

Depends on the vehicle. Car not much truck not much, the jeep on the other hand lotsss. Lots of tools especially. This does remind me I need to get another patch kit I had to use mine on my dads car.

Well right now I have nothing in my 1988 F150.
What I would like after I get it going:

A winch at least 9000lbs want the power plant Warn winch with air compressor.
A chain (never know when I might need to pull somebody out of my parking spot) (plus if my truck breaks down I can be pulled home I don't like tow straps)
Tools are going to be in the truck box when I get it for sure.
A blanket over the seat (the Vinyl sticks fairly easily to you) Plus if I need to get unstuck or have to sleep in my truck over night.
A CB radio is to be installed when I get one again.
All diffrent fluids for the truck.
Water and maybe a few snacks Never know how long you have to stay overnight when you get your truck stuck to the floorboard and can't get nobody out there.
I already keep my leathermen with everywhere I go.
A good set of jumper cables
hitch recievers never know when you need to tow a trailer.
tie down straps never know when you are going to find something you need
my digital camera will always be with me
notebook pencil and pen
I will be getting the owners manual
also an emergency set of clothes.

In our 2002 F250 that is our going on long trips truck for when we do and we have in it all the time a:
Chain
quarts of all fluids for the truck which reminds me I need to get some brake fluid for spare.
all of our tools in the truck box.
me and my dad always bring a good set of clothes no matter where we go.
my digital camera is always with me.
My dad's cell phone.
a police scanner which right no needs batteries and hooked up to the antenna.
a d ring
tie down straps always
all of our hitch recievers which I need to get a 1 7/8's.
A blanket is always in the truck.
a come along
a notebook and pencil and pen
the owners manual
my laptop
and always at least one gas can.

Currently I got a bunch of crap, and want to add even more.

What I got:

jumpers
2 heavy down sleeping bags rated like -20
1 qt motor oil
antifreeze
ATF fluid
brake fluid
windshield washer fluid
first aid kit
tackle box full of hand tools
knife
pepper spray
rock hammer
spare change of clothes
jack and jackstand
24 and 72 hour pack from my SAR kit (buncha survival stuff)
2 SureFire lights
beef jerky, powerbars
2 gallons of water
towing strap

This is just so far. Hoping to add more Colorado and New Mexico weather can be brutal. If stranded in a vehicle during a massive blizzard (like I was last spring), it can be days before help comes, so you should always be prepared for the worst.

- Oil
- Tow Strap
- Coolant
- Knife
- Flashlights
- Tool box full of tools
- Jumper cables
- Jumper box with built-in air compressor, inverter, 12v sockets, USB socket, and LED lights
- Fire extinguisher
- Various gauge wire
- I carry a spare tire if I'm doing any more than just going into town and back

Think that's it.
