    I don't know if I always need this but:

    - Small shovel
    - 2 Pairs of vice grips
    - Rolls of electrical tape
    - Tow Strap
    - Ratchet Straps
    - Tire deflator
    - Air compressor (backup one)
    - Small First Aid Kit w/ Tourniquet
    - Flashlights
    - Reflective rope
    - Knife
    - Water bottle
    - Compact Blanket
    - Gloves
    - Tire Plug kit
    - Multi-tool
    - Socket Set
    - Axe
    - 2 MRE's
    - Crap ton of Zip Ties
    - Jumper Cables

    All this pretty much stays in the truck 24/7 except when I go off-roading I take my battery powered air compressor so I can set and forget it when I have to air back up.
