shovel
dog food
Thank you so very much!

What do you mean by complete? I thought the wrenches and Mercedes screwdriver do what is needed?

Good point about engine oil! Need to order that.

For power steering, Tram and I use A.T.F.; is that wrong? A.T.F. is also carried for priming the main filter.

Why 2 stroke oil?

I was wondering what to do with that free tarp...

Why gloves? For doing dirty work? I can't stand them because of my Autism. When I have gotten greasy away from home, I just wipe my hands off, though should also add hand cleaner. I did forget the rags...

Good point about a light source! I remember Vater had one with a flashing function and a radio, I.I.R.C..

Will put the role of Made in the U.S.A. duct tape in. Best duct ever!

Well, doesn't the dog have to eat? I am used to carrying a few things in case the big one hit. But, now that I am out of South Quakyfornia, do carry because it is better to be prepared. The shovel now is in case I or someone else gets stuck. Only six by nine by two inch package, so fits about anywhere.
