TWO, yes, i said TWO pairs of pliers...

TWO, yes, once again, TWO knives (folding or fixed blade)

Pliers are a no-brainer... so are the knives, everyone should have a folding knife with them all the time (if the law allows, of course).

Also a couple fire extinguishers may be good, I know the person above said one, but, one is none, two is one, etc.

what do you guys think about tire plug kits and starter fluid for your tires when they come off the rim

The plug kits only work good on a small puncture like taking a nail to the tire. The starter fluid trick works pretty good, I've seen it done before.


Some sort of tire pump is usually handy.

10mm socket

I have more to list but I'll have to do it later
