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.

 

If its on your belt it'll be in the jeep when you are and need it..

 

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.

 

Haha yea your right was working on mine last night got aggravated threw everything inside on my seat locked it n went home. Drove a company truck to my job site and reached on my belt for my super tool and the holster is there but it is in the jeep...

 

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.

 

AAA card. BAM! Done. LOL

 

I don't have a cell phone, can AAA be reached by CB radio? Maybe the CoastGuard
MAYDAY!

 

In your case, I suggest some or all of these:

 

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.
