Trail Preparedness

This is great! I am gonna git a bunch of stuff together for Desert Jewel and this list is just what I needed, I saw the steel putty git put to task out @ fearless follies, and now I carry that stuff, plus oil...

Wow, I hope DJ doesn't read this post it will ruin her Christmas present....

Something I didn't see on the list - large ziplock bags. As well as being useful in case you need to "corral" loose bolts during a dissassembly, they're great if you ever need to pull a diff cover. Drain the 90W into the bag, pull the cover, fix the problem - then just place the whole (full) bag back in the diff and button it back up. Bag will break, you're fine to get home.

That's a great idea.

We use ammo cans. We once had to drain and remove an oil pan on the trail, and found that a small ammo can will hold almost exactly 5 quarts of oil.

Yep. A bit harder to put the oil back in a diff with the ammo can though

just put the ammo can full of oil back in the diff, the ammo can will break, and you'll get...

I see the ammo can, I use them for tools as well, and its nice to put it to so many tasks....

Ammo cans are allmost like duct tape....

Problem is - all my ammo cans are full of, well - ammo. Where else would I keep the 40mm grenades?
