Just found a cool article: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars...-trunk#slide-1

There are cheaper options for the products they list. Not everyone has a $100 for a leatherman, but you can get a cheap one for like $10. I have that power flare, it works good.

I bought one of those for my Grandson 14 yrs. old and the blade broke the second time he used it.

Then again my Leatherman Tool that I've had for 30+ yrs. and abused much of its life is still in great shape. I carry it on my belt behind my .45/holster everyday. I have another Leatherman that is made for people who use AR-15 style rifles special tools just for them, very handy indeed.

I've heard of that last Leatherman you mentioned. I think I'll get it whenever I get a new AR. I carry a basic Leatherman on my belt, but I don't have one dedicated to my Jeep yet.

That's a big IF. New job does not allow "weapons". So I'll need to keep one in my Jeep.

I do carry expensive ratchet straps in my ammo can, 3 in the can, 2 on the roof, but I just still don't want to use one for my crate.

Okay that just makes for a high speed projectile during an accident, something like sitting on your seatbelt

"No Weapons" what a deal and right here in the heart of the Ozarks. Heck just tell those pin heads that its a pair of pliers and a screwdriver

This "PC" crap has been pushed beyond its limits in about every way possible thanks to the powers that be, hopefully not to soon to be.

A sharpened number 2 pencil is a weapon, are you allowed to have pencils?

I don't do outdoors stuff, or offroad, but I'm a bit weird.

Okay, a lot weird.

I've got a big, 'fancy' [it extends and rotates] ice scraper/snow brush combo, a few sets of tools, and this weird cheap 'box' from IKEA--it's what I had on hand--with my emergency fluids. Oil, ATF, coolant, windshield washer fluid. Even some differential fluid, and a bottle of fluid for my jack.

Also, a vehicle fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit. Because I feel like I should be prepared for all sorts of catastrophes.

No pencils allowed! Pens are ok and a maglite...
I'm seriously looking for a new job already and my first day is tomorrow.

Anyway, some good things to keep in a Jeep would be baby wipes and toilet paper. Never wanna be without TP around.
