thats a lot of shit. You can cut down on things there that are redundant. ie power steering fluid and ATF, urine works too (WOLVERINES). A tow strap works equally well for a tree saver, just depends on how you wrap the tree.

Why tire irons, you plan on chaging tires out there? Just bring a spare or an inner tube. breaking the bead is easy without tools, just use the hi lift and drive on it.

Lots of camp soaps serve as dish and shampoo and body soap. After all your camping. Keep it bidegradeable too.

Wheres the winch??????

being particularily fond of safety and first aid, dont forget splinting materials and bandages. Whts the ipecac for, small kids that are going to drink antifreeze? That is a pretty contraindicated medicine for most situations. Find glucose paste too. You never know when you will have a diabetic.
my Kit also has IV saline and tubing, iv dextrose, atropine, epinephrine and benedryl, IV start kit, needls and syringes, trauma bandages and Kerlix.

larg ziplocs work well for a variety of things, Make shift ice packs(leave the instants at home) fluid draining reservoirs so you can recycle that gear oil or power steering fluid if you have to do a swap of some sort.
they could also be used in a last ditch effort if someone had a tension pneumothorax (though I would recommend a medical background for this)

We could go on forever here, but Jopes put a pretty comprehensive list together a while back.

Thank you very much Bob.

I always like to give credit where credit is due, but I had the info on my harddrive in a word format and I could not remember who I robbed it from.

So thanks goes out to Brian Soderblom He is the man.
