Default Items to have on hand

Hey guys. So i want to compile a list of things that everyone should keep with them in their truck bed/cab. So i have started the list on my own and of course everyone's needs are different from each others but at least it will allow for everything to be thought out or as a reminder.

Extra qt of oil
Snow scraper (for winter)
First aid kit
Jumper cables
Tow straps (for mudding/snow states)
Extra coolant? (maybe)
Basic Socket set
Tape measure
Duct tape/electrical tape
Extra trailer straps
chains? (maybe)
Sand bags (winter only)
pliers and channel lock pliers
zip ties
Utility knife/Leatherman
Screw drivers (2)
Seafoam
WD 40





A Container to hold the goods and tool box...

That's all i can think of right now, I would love to have you guys chip in.

In case of Chevy application extra tow straps for when your s**t breaks down and you have to call you buddy with an F150 to come tow you!

Most of what's already been said. Plus waterproof matches, gallon of water, little bit of spare food (granola bars, MRE, trail mix, whatever), a few grocery bags or ziplock bags, several knives including a Gerber LMF II ASEK knife with the seat belt cutter kept on the visor, ropes and paracord, miscellaneous tools, spare change of clothes including shoes and a jacket, emergency blanket, light sticks, towel. I feel like I'm missing some...
