Question What is ALWAYS in your rover?

I have seen similar topics referring to off road or excursion supplies but I just want to know what you guys always carry (if anything) in your rover for "supplies"?

I keep under my drivers seat at all times a shovel, a medic kit, a bottle of brake fluid and a bottle of power steering fluid. my aftermarket sub amp is under the passenger seat.
I keep in the cargo area a bottle of washer fluid, a gallon of drinking water, a bottle of 50/50 coolant, a small collection of "general" tools, and a set of jumper cables.

I of course have the stock jack and tools in there proper locations.

I have been thinking about adding some items but not sure where and what so I thought I would ask you guys for ideas.

I have a plastic tote that goes back and forth between my vehicles depending on which I am driving that contains my tow straps, jumper cables, hitch pins, basic hand tools and a few other odds and ends.

ok you have sparked my curiosity whats the dremel for?

I am going to get a tow strap, and a quart of oil. I also saw this folded up cardboard box gas can thing at the gas station the other day that I was thinking about getting anyone ever heard of those?
