What's one thing every Jeep owner should keep in their vehicle at all times?

[aaron725]

Just took a mental count and I think I have about three and two different IFAKs. In addition to boo-boo kits. I just always wonder how many people who carry them have actually practiced using them.

I keep an IFAK in both my Jeeps. My wife and I are proficient with the contents.

It's obvious many of you don't know what One Thing means.

I recommend an emergency satellite communicator. I use the Garmin InReach mini which is very small and easy to carry and use.

My older Garmin was a bit bigger but saved my life on Mount Borah in Idaho.

Note to self: The "I'll never stop until I get to the top and back down" is admirable unless your disability means you take 5-10 times longer. So I knew I would be coming down in the dark just like always [example from a couple of weeks before was 17 hours without a stop to do Humphries Peak in AZ].

Everyone with me turned around at Chicken Out Ridge [F#$%g Pussies!].

I had barely started down in the disappearing twilight when my headlight went out and I couldn't change the batteries because I thought the case was fused together from the heat. Of course the damn thing opened fine after I recovered.

What I didn't bring was a thermal mat or sleeping bag [IDIOT!] because they added weight and bulk and since I wasn't going to stop why bring the damn things. It was fantastic up top but I hung around too long resting and taking pictures.

So when I couldn't see I had to crawl back up to find a wind break because the terrain was just rock shale at a very steep angle.

Within an hour of hanging out on this ledge I'd retreated [hate that word] to I was shivering almost uncontrollably.

I knew from the constant shaking that my body core temperature wouldn't be able to keep me from hypothermia. Around midnight I sent the call. Finally made clear I was getting hypothermia and would need a helicopter to get me out in the morning.

All's well that ends well, right?

Bottomline: bring a satellite communicator anytime you leave civilization---such as even a major interstate across a northwestern state....

Supposedly the new Garmin Fenix 9 will have a built in InReach. I have a Fenix 5 and been planning to Update/upgrade, the 9 will kill two birds.

A visor bracket repair kit since they made the hinge out of hopes and dreams.

Based on the latest recall a fire extinguisher?

Unless you are looking to replace the sailboat or Jeep.

I guess a million of us need a fire extinguisher.

In response to the OP: An exterminator. To work out the bugs...

 

[Jeeper44mag]

Can't do just one. But in order of importance...

1) air compressor & tire repair kit
2) spare fuses.
3) 150' or more of recovery straps, shovel, axe, saw.
4) tall rubber boots
5) contractor grade trash bags


Not going to list knife/gun since you should already carry those on you just about everywhere.
