Must Have Equipment

A knife.

splice an airline long enough to get you to a place to buy fittings or a new line

A box of fuses!!! Trailer lights go out on the NJ turnpike? Check your fuses before calling roadside. Save $1,000.

A tool kit - doesn't have to be fancy

A 4lb sledge

A pry bar

A good chemical lube spray

Those cigarette lighter power converters (2)

Extra pair of glasses

Cheap "safety" vest

Hard hat (I had a guy on a site ask me if I had a hard hat. He was not wearing one. I just said yeah. WTF?)
