Garbage bags
Might seem basic, but a couple of Garbage bags in the bottom of the toolbox never hurts. You can use them for a variety of situations:
They work as a quick raincoat, something to lay on as you work in the mud under your jeep, wrap-up greasy parts, as a fluid drain catch-basin, etc...
oh yeah, collecting garbage too.

Not just "a map" but a GOOD map. A good topo map and a compass beats a GPS any day. Oh, and don't forget the most important part: Know how to use them.
It's easier for you to get yourself unlost if you have the right tools and knowledge than it is for other people to find you if you don't.

Mre. Style food or backpacking style food or canned food high in protein. Just in case. Also I carry a machette. I find it a very useful toolother than just cutting. Makes a good grilled cheese while camping. A good knife. No cheap chinese made crap. Come along, tow strap, and heavy ratchet straps. Very useful if you brake something. Duct tape. Engine/trans oil gear oil and gas.

Good to see someone mention a good knife. A mate just gave me a Ka-Bar Mule great knife for the Jeep. Just need to figure if I want to mount the sheath on the roll cage or keep it on my belt!
