Miscellaneous: Before you go:
• Know how to use the vehicle's jack
• Make sure you can undo the nuts on the wheels (Often tightened far too much for any normal human to undo)
• Know where the front and rear tow point are
Recommended packing list (even for short trips) that comes to mind.
1) Basic tool set
2) Jack and something to put under it
3) Tire puncture repair kit (The can style you put into the tire to seal a leak)
4) Tire pump compressor
5) Compass
6) Drinking water. At least 1 litre per person for every hour you are out in mid day heat. Alcohol dehydrates. Going two hours before sunset, probably 4-5 litres.
7) Water for your vehicle. At least 10 litres
8) Radiator sealant
9) Tow rope (Strap style is better than the steel rope). If the latter snaps someone will probably be killed if it hits them
10) Jump leads
11) Torch
12) Rubbish bin to take your rubbish home in
(You could always keep all these items in your car apart from the water)
