Ok once again a short disclaimer: I am (as usual) writting this page with alcohol in hand, therefore, it probably contains gramatical, spelling, and content errors. Beyond that certain items may be added or removed based on regional needs.
1. Firstaid first
2. The Firstaid Kit
3. The stuff you should always have
4. Wheeling Extras
5. Some after thoughts about storage
Ok, short and sweet, get a book, take a class. Learn
to do this stuff, HELL, most companies will pay for you to take a class. I'll even make it easier for you: local Red Cross chapter. One day it will save someones life, and you'll be someone people want to have around when they go wheeling. And keep a firstaid book with you, unless you do this for a living it's easy to forget some stuff. Maybe I'll even find a good one for Hiking/Camping (oops that would mean reading)
Setting up a kit is really pretty easy, all you have to do is figure out what types of injuries you are likely to encounter. Well that would be: cuts and scrapes, burns, Poison Ivy/oak/snakes, Hypo/hyper-thermia, broken bones and sprains, KOs/shock.
Cuts/scrapes: Band-aids, gauze, tape, Alcohol, and bacitration (ie neosporine)
Burns: same as above
The natural things: Best to avoid them in the first place, (maybe some from where poisonous snakes are more common could help me out here)
hypo/hyper-thermia: Identifing The supplies for this should be packed every time you ride trails anyway
Broken Bones/ sprains: Ace bandage 3-4" wide and add a brace for whatever you tend to pull (knee, wrist, back)
KO/shock: Concussions too. Keep'em awake and talking (yeah I'm not really sure what else it would help to have)
Ok tools will only be very general in nature (on this list), a better tool list will come eventually.
Fluids(1qt unless specified):oil, ATF, washer fluid (gallon), coolent (gallon pre-mixed)
Roadside Kit:Jumper cables, Air compressor (as much as they suck), road flares, flashlight (and good batteries), Tow chain w/ at least 3500lb working load, decent jack, rope, poncho, a blanket, and change of clothes
Tools:wrenches and ratchets, vicegrips, small axe, folding shovel, knife
My basic rule when it comes to all this is simple: all food type supplies are based on walking out. If it takes a day to walk out, I bring a day and a halfs worth of water and a couple of meals (canned stuff of MREs). Since most of the areas I wheel have water availible I'll bring something to treat the water. (I'm not doing tools here) that would cover most of the "extras", I'd recomend that anything you've opted not to bring from the other lists you add here.
For deeper excursions, bring a backpack (truth is they are designed to hold this stuff anyway) lite weight tent, sleeping bag, hand gun (if availible), canteen, compass, topographical maps.
Simple for truck owners with tool boxes, you'll have the tools anyway and likely the fluids too. Some of the roadside stuff is oddball, but it will fit behind the jumpseats. Extra gear is easily tied down in the back of the truck.
Ammo cans can replace the box, it will take a few, but they're cheap. Just secure them well. I cannot stress this enough, I've seen what loose tools will ( this isn't a can or could) do. Try dropping a 1/2" breakerbar from 3 or 4ft onto the back of your head, not a good thing. I'm guessing a very big chunk of rollover injuries come from this.
