I carry all the usual tools. Next time you are doing a project on the jeep, only use your trail tools. This will help figure out what you are missing.

I also carry a can of stating fluid and a lighter to reseat a tire bead if need be.

2X on that also, though moving to beadlock at the moment so may remove from tool bag.

Could always carry it for a buddy who's in a pinch?

Why not just depend on your buddy to carry everything for you instead? See that is a ****y way to go, carry everything you need for yourself, lend people nothing, make them carry their own!

That's probably a good idea for those people whose idea of "off road" is to go play in a small park or a well-defined, but short trail for the day before driving back home or their hotel that night. After all, your buddy carrying this or that may decide at the last minute to cancel. But, tor those who take off roading to mean spending a week or more with a group in wilderness places, assigning who carries what is a better idea. Some duplication is smart, because in those scenarios it may be necessary to break up the team. But, it's important to remember that not every outing in a Jeep is "every man for himself". If someone isn't a team player, they don't belong on expedition-style trip.

Yeah that's right leave them stranded. Never offer a helping hand because perfect people like MMT NEVER forget anything.

I carry a fair amount with me. But let's be honest, nothing ever goes to plan. I have extra oil and fluids, but check to make sure I'm good before I go. I don't carry them just for me, I carry them for people who need some help. Tools break, sometimes a slightly different tool works better than what you have. And sometimes, people forget because nobody is perfect. Have you never forgotten a single thing before or needed a helping hand?

I'm glad I don't wheel with people that have that attitude. I'll help anybody who needs it in my group the best I can. And random people too as long as I'm armed (just don't know who to trust anymore). Maybe that's just the small town in me.

I've been reading your posts since before I joined this forum, Mark. (Love the videos, just wish I could comment on YouTube!) but anyways, I would agree with those points. I guess I just see the sport as a team activity. Nobody wants to be left behind and I don't want to leave anyone behind.

Mark Doiron

I doubt even Tim would leave anyone behind. He just likes to stir the pot a little bit. ;-)

Edit: Oh, and I turned off the YT comments because it's YT. You get the most inane comments sometimes. There are still ways for people to contact me through my channel. It is just not quite as obvious.
