Who needs more than that? Loads of stuff for 'just in case' is just more stuff to hit your head if you crash. Keep it simple

...is that all?

I'm with pontoneer, cept for the fuzz light of course.

plus some 5 ton ratchet straps, decent hydraulic jack, couple of wheel braces, various aerosol cans, various types of tape, and a cigar lighter "perp light" spotlight, and a DC/AC inverter.

Funnily enough , I keep a couple of inverters in the boot , too .

However , those are for running my laptop / battery chargers for camcorder/photo kit and not really emergency kit .

I forgot that I do have a little 12V lantern which plugs into the ciggar lighter as well . ( Mercedes-Benz cars have CIGAR lighters - only lesser cars have cigarette lighters )

To be fair , that photo WAS taken before I replaced the rear springs

This is pretty much the normal state of my boot
