What kits in your car (I have Hotcans!)
Skibum346:
Wife and I used live one in Glasgow, one in Birmingham... so one or other of us was always travelling at weekends... as a result (and through prior military experience) I carry the following:
* Pick & Shovel (mounted inside back door so no space lost)
* Toolbox full of everything (well it feels like it when I take it out!)
* Spares box (fluids, sprays, greases, electrical bits and bobs)
* Assorted Strops, ropes & shackles
* Winch (On the front... nice and outta the way)
* Snatch block (for those difficult pulls)
* Hi-lift Jack (on spare wheel so easy to get to and no space penalty)
* Sleeping bag (small two season job)
* Softie jacket (Can't reccomend these enough! Military green/sand/black like a down filled jacket without the loft. VERY warm)
* Lidl (or was it Aldi?) £25 sailing jacket (Totally waterproof, huge collar to keep out the wind... perfick!)
* Various woolie hats
* Various gloves
* Two torches
* Mountaneering marker strobe (For when the torch batteries run out!)
* Ultra small gas stove & gas
* Mess tin (to boil the water!)
* Army 24hr ration pack (Can be eaten cold, breakfast, lunch & dinner with snacks and 3 litres of hot drinks in a small pack)
* Water (cuz yeah canny make a wet or a boil'n'thebag without it!)
* Decent 1st aid kit with three first field dressings and other stuff more useful than a plaster!)
* Emergency foil blanket x3 (for the numpties that think we are being over the top... then find out we aint!)
Most of this lives in the back and isn't disturbed, if I don't need it... great. However, in the past I've come across people who have fallen, vehicle accidents, young people unprepared for the weather etc and my kit has helped me to help them... so I'm happy.

The 110 has clothes and food for a week. Kitchen sink, cooker, tiolet and 20L of water. Oh and a double bed. There again it is a camper conversion :shock:
My 90 has a change of clothes (for the people in her), all my recovery gear, a full toolkit, a cooker, 5L of water, canned food to last 3 people for 24 hours, plates, cooking kit, cutlery, 2 complete sets of wheel bearings, fan belt and a manual. In there all the year round so we can 'just go' when we want to.
