so far, the lighters and matches haven't failed me... but then this is the desert... Water purification tablets are there, in the 1st aid kit. No saw yet... any suggestions? I have two saws: BCB Commando Wire Saw with nylon wrist straps. 7 or 8 bucks at the Surplus Store. Gerber Exchange A Blade folding saw. Has one Wood blade and one Bone blade. About 20 bucks at Cabelas or Gander Mt. |

I had problems with the cotton/vaseline balls being able to light damp wood or in rain conditions. The magnesium lighter was hot enough to ignite damp wood sitting in a puddle.

You are not alone. I carry almost the exact same items in my truck at all times. I didn't see these items in your BOB. Magnesium fire starter or wax dipped strike anywhere matches. A small folding saw or coiled wire saw. Water purification tablets or purification filter hand pump. |
Bill you're a knucklehead are you going on a road trip or preparing for the nuclear Holocaust? i have a few tools and a fuel filter but not an extra fuel pump or nothin crazy like i'm seein here Bill, it's awesome don't get me wrong but i think i'd like to know what kinda road trip are we talking about?

lol
ANY kind of road trip where you don't want to be sitting on the side of the road, waiting for a tow truck, Ty. That is... If there is a Tow Truck AVAILABLE... |
You need electrical wire, baling wire, and diagonal cutters, and wire strippers.
Seriously, how can you have have a tool kit without diagonal cutters and wire strippers? |

Seriously, how can you have have a tool kit without diagonal cutters and wire strippers? The needle nose I have will cut and strip wire... although not ideal, they will do in a pinch. Honestly, I guess I overlooked that, every other vehicle kit I have has wire strippers and wire in them... glad you caught that for me. |
You also need some bolt cutters or a hacksaw.
