I know this is an old thread but I wanted to make a "reasonable" list of items that are practical to carry that may be of use. Many of the posts had a number of good ideas and I thought I would attempt to make a personal list and makeup a kit for myself. I already have a lot of these items but some listed on this thread were good to add in my opinion. I tried to list them in the order of importance, if someone differs or has other ideas, chime in! A number of posts mentioned AAA tow service. I checked my specialty car insurance and it is included on mine and states it as flat bed tow service.

1. Cell Phone
2. First Aid kit (With box of second skin for burns)
3. AAA tow service telephone number. (if not included on insurance)
4. Map or GPS so you can give directions to tow service
5. Fix a Flat (2) cans. (Big tires!)
6. Small 12v air compressor
7. Tire plug kit
8. Small self contained tool kit with sockets/wrenches
Needs pliers, screwdriver with multiple bits.
9. (2) Adjustable end wrenches
10. Small LED flashlight (Batteries last longer and holds up to vibration etc...)
11. Pocket knife
12. Fuses (Ones needed to make the car run)
13. Tape (Duct tape and or electrical)
14. Cheap plastic drop cloth (Used for emergency waterproofing or laying on)
15. Volt meter / tester
16. Rags
17. Gloves
18. Small roll of bailing wire
19. Plastic Tie Wraps

I'm going to try to put this together and see if it fits in my trunk and leaves room for anything else. I'll try to post a picture like some before have done. It also might me useful to mark the things packed that you have used in the past!
