And dont forget a bag of rock salt, Not for the road but the path when you get out to walk. LOL

For work I have the standard 'yellow' Hi-vis vest, and a nice trackside 'orange' vest..........and for my own safety (should I ever need to change a wheel on the motorway etc) I have a full 'police spec' jacket, and if the weathers really foul - a pair of hi-vis salopettes. Friends reckon its overkill, personally I'd rather not be !!!!!!!

Sheddy:
When its predicted to be bad, I carry a flask of coffe and a spade.  That way i can have a nice hot drink while he digs me out!!


On a more serious not:
Hi Vis
Tow Strap
Spare shakles and pliers
Jack
Trolly jack
CB
Two Phones (different networks)

and, if I'm on my way to the boat ... marine VHF and flare pack!!

Spacemud:
Thanks all, quite a few things I hadn't thought about, but some everyone should carry as a matter of course!

From the many suggestions, here's my list to get together over the weekend (although the 30 or so steps to The Black Swan always seems a better option than venturing out in dodgy weather) -

Checking fluid levels regularly
make sure the fuel tank is topped up
Keep some money/change on board (in a safe place) you can’t always rely on a mobile phone, and you could (if close enough) get to a local shop if walk able.
Wellies or Stout boots
Shovel
High visibility vest
Flashing amber beacon
Holdall containing - sleeping bag, thermal top and trousers, extra fleece top, extra trousers, thick socks.
A truck load of scoff! (Biscuits/chocolate/raisins/mars bars)
Flask of hot coffee and/or a small camping stove
Good selection of fuses
Good torch
Recovery straps etc
Tool kit
Grease

Looks a big list and would initially seem that you will need to smile at your bank manager first - but you will find you have most of the items you need anyway.

Good luck, and hopefully you won't actually need any of it  :wink:
