Gearing up for a 11 day trip to the Victorian High Country (Australia). This kit is specific to my vehicle, camping gear and skill level.





Socket Set:
I consider a 3/8 socket set as intermediate in size. Weight is an issue for me so I leave my 1/4 and 1/2 sets at home.

  • 7-22mm sockets and 3/8 ratchet wrench
  • 1/4 driver and bit set
  • adaptors and extensions including flexi-extension



Tool Roll:
The quietest way to travel with tools. I find the roll also looks after the tools.

  • Long and short cross and flat drivers (No.2)
  • Mini screwdrivers
  • Half round file
  • 250mm Knipex Plier Wrench (awesome tool)
  • Wire nippers
  • Box knife
  • Metric Allen keys
  • Inspection lamp
  • Long long-nose pliers
  • 8-22mm ratchet combination wrenches
  • Combination pliers
  • Vice-grips (2 sizes)
  • Telescopic grabber
  • Circuit tester





Repair kit:

  • Sewing kit for clothing, gear and canvas
  • Camping gear repair kit (patches, glue, pole repair etc)
  • Silicon repair tape
  • Electrical tape
  • Cloth Tape (3m)
  • UHB 3M Tape
  • Bailing wire
  • Epoxy Putty
  • Fuses
  • Cable ties
  • Lighter
  • Torch
  • Spare Batteries
  • Tarp clips
  • Straps
  • Paracord
  • Tray of carabiners, ties, buckles

Missing: JB Weld, Loctite, Nuts and Bolts (assorted), Hose clamps, Fuel filter.

Looks good. I always carry a tube of roof & gutter silicone. Has many short term repair uses for vehicle and camp kit.

Good idea.  I have a tube of Sika Vehicle sealant.  Might come in handy.

I carry a crow bar in the camper. It's surprising how often it gets used.

I have a set of 3 crowbars - courtesy of Aldi -- They appear every now and then - nice yellow handles on them .. Very handy units.

It is a well known fact that travelling with metric Allen keys makes every socket you ever need to work on turn into imperial.

On a Land Rover? 

I have just realised that I have doubled up on the Allen Keys.
