That's the sort of list I was looking for
I don't like that list
You might want to add bush repairs to your list,
Watching a repeat of Myth busters they punched a hole through the front of a radiator,
.
Started the car and cracked an egg into it, stopped in a few seconds
@ lift
Why don't you like that list?
The only way I like my eggs is with bacon
Got a lot of stuff that is nice to have and left off stuff you need to have, if your travelling remote your car will weigh over 2 ton, so take the important stuff, getting ready for the w/e trip thinking of doing a list next weekQuote:

everyone has different ideas on what to take, one of my first lists was $50 of beer an a tin of baked beans, go figure
Bad luck if the vehicle broke down
Yeah I agree with you on selecting what's right for you, I just don't like trusting luck. Everything is a compromise though. It's just my opinion but I don't demand people follow itQuote:

I read that list as a bit of a piss take to be honest! If it was to be given real consideration then I am with LiftLid. The problem is that that list is MASSIVE! The biggest problem most will face just before you leave is this:- what should I NOT Take. Because now I weigh 3.5t and have 600kgs on the bloody roof.
Work up a list of what you really need, what you'd like to take and what would be very nice to have... See what you can make work from the second and third list in the first list.
To be truly "self sufficient" you have no real room for luxury.
Working from the Worst case scenario backwards and the list will be real.
Welder,
Spare shock,
Fuel filter,
A set of mixed bushes,
A set of belts that fit,
A set of hoses,
Water in more than one place.
A Metric tool set. Leave the AF set at home.
3 different saucepans would not make my list. 1 also makes a good sink for doing the dishes ;)
You get my point I'm sure. A Newby needs to not be swamped for choice, they will do that all by themselves ;) they need guidance on what they Really need.
