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.Originally Posted by rmoore1031

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.Originally Posted by Fred/N0AZZ

If its on your belt it'll be in the jeep when you are and need it..Originally Posted by rmoore1031

That's a big IF. New job does not allow "weapons". So I'll need to keep one in my Jeep.Originally Posted by jswift716

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.Originally Posted by Fred/N0AZZ
On a DD you need ratchet straps even more than off road, because of the chance of accidents are greater then.

"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.

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.

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