You also want a pair of coveralls and a tarp if no has mentioned those yet. Oh, and a box of plastic cutlery is a good idea.

It's there, just waiting for the party.

 

Vice grips.

 

Home Depot bucket, plastic bags and toilet paper. Trust me bro.

 

You don't want to be caught in a NY Dot inspection with flares when you have Haz Mat on board. $500 ticket.

 

Here's the rule I follow... if my shoes ever start to stink like a bad case of swamp ###, I throw them and all my socks out and get new ones. I've never had a problem with athlete's foot and I don't wear shower shoes either.

If you run refer, jumper cables. More for the winter when the refer unit wont start. Good back up of ready to eat foods. Always have plent of water. Basic hand tools.

No load is worth your life.

 

A bottle of Pepto-Bismal Max! I just had to get one after third emergency bathroom stop...
