I am planing on getting my rig setup to be self sufficient so today my ground anchor turned up to add to my kit (winch extension strap, snatch strap, tree trunk protector, snatch block, shackles, tool kit, compressor and deflator, shovel and high lift jack, axe, long handle pruners and a work light)
What other items do you recommend? Apart from extinguisher, which is coming soon. Oh and bog paper which keep forgetting to put in the car.
Meaning that if I happen to be alone I can get out/ through/over and have everything I need to get out of trouble. I know the list is endless but I mean more of necessities if you say pop a bead or tyre. Get stuck/ bogged have electrical issues and so on
Some wooden blocks for packing.(Use number two is emergency firewood). And a range of nuts and bolts. (needed a nut when the panhard popped off the axle)

A purpose built {length} rachett strap to help seal popped bead, 9mtr of herc alloy draig chain. Jacking plate[s]
One item I've found invaluable is a garden Hoe, great for dragging mud from around and under your 4x4,compressor
Fiskar x27 axe. all sprays WD40 etc, fuses to suit, ground sheet, safety glasses ,work gloves, as you said the list is endless
but if ppl keep naming stuff you could cull from that.
FIRST AID KIT A GOOD ONE

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Thanks everybody. Yeah I have a first aid kit and forgot to mention the tyre repair kit.
I have a Father's Day present of a dual battery system too so will a jump starter be needed?
Next time I change my belts I will be keeping them in the back of the car
I also have a bolt bucket in the shed that has been a savior for many things.
Was thinking a chainsaw but I went for the old fashioned approach as its lighter and easier to carry
