I forgot about my Rhino tool. I have it attached in the bed of the truck. I tried looking for the pic but I must have deleted it.

I carry pretty much all the same things already mentioned above. One thing not said yet, and a good idea for winter travel is an MRE or two. Sure, they're not the greatest meal - but if you need food in an emergency they're handy to have. They don't even require clean water to cook.
..And a case of bottled water for drinking.

Booster cables Tow straps Tie wraps Bungee cords Tarp Industrial shrink wrap Duct tape, packing tape, electrical tape Mini STIHL hand saw Ear plugs Spare fuses Toilet paper Bolts,nuts,screws(approx 10 each, few sizes just incase something comes loose on My quad and I need to tighten) Tool kit(pliers,wrench,sockets etc) First aid kid Matches/lighter Washer fluid In the summer time I add: Bug spray, WD40, chain lube & a few other small things that I wouldn't need during winter. I used to have it all in a tool box but my new truck has a tonneuo cover so I put it all in a locking rubber maid container.

tow strap
crescent wrench brand tool kit, picked it up years ago, cheap, compact and has sae/metric up to 18mm wrenches and sockets w/o screw drivers, etc.
craftsman LED drop light w/ 12v cord
clean shirt
couple bottles of water
pry bar
Its more of stuff that I've needed over the years when I go to buy a used car or parts from a car. If **** happens to the truck I have roadside.
If its bad enough I can't fix it w/ the tools in the truck someone in the truck probably needs to go to the hospital.
