Essentials

ATTN · 11-30-2014, 01:43 AM

Firstly, long story short my CP popped off lastnight while drive back from OP road. Luckily @_ink had all the tools in the trade to fix on the go kinda like a mobile NRMA roadside assistance, with surgical gloves, handwipes and tools.

What do you carry?

Me well,

- Tictaks
- Handwipes
- Tissues
- Gum/mints
- Hand Sanitiser
- Spare fuses
- Small little ratchet set
- LED torch (which I couldn't use lastnight flat battery, intended to buy another with USB charger input)
