I was recently sorting gear and loading up the camper after another winter of storage. This year I am weighing everything that goes into the camper for curiosity's sake. I will post my list when I get it tallied.
I usually take some mechanic's tools along- two tool rolls with wrenches, sockets, assorted pliers, screwdrivers, and a couple of pouches with miscellaneous small tools and supplies. This all goes in an ammo box that rides in one of the fuel can carriers (assuming I'm not carrying extra fuel). The loaded ammo box weighs 35 pounds. This got me thinking about tools and what is necessary to take along, if anything. I don't know if I have the right mix. I can't remember ever using the tools on a trip, although I would not feel right leaving them at home. I did a search and didn't find any threads on this topic.
What tools do you take along and where do you store them when you are traveling? Any stories of needing a tool and not having it?
