Hi Kirkynut, Great list. I'd love to see a picture of how you get it all in!! Seriously impressed.
Yes I'd really like to see a picture.................................

We have a winner from Kirkynut! I thought my list was comprehensive, i need to add a fire extinguisher too at some point.
This is how i carry most of mine, i can empty it to access the well underneath too.



A bit tidier now:

Ok, seeings as you asked so nicely, I'll pop it on my to do list!

Kirkynut

Surprised you don't have a pair of boltcutters in case some one has padlocked a gate across a greenlane.
Ian.

They're getting wise to that and are welding shields around the padlocks so you can only get a key to it.

Now you need a petrol angle grinder so you can cut the shield off too! :whistle:

Starts to be questionable as to whether that's criminal damage though, so best to leave alone.

Kirkynut

Yep! Criminal damage.
The same as if you were to get clamped and smashed it off.
A bit of a bugger though if locking it in the first place is an offence.

I once watched a couple of contractors trying to remove a 'protected' padlock from a steel gate at a place I worked at, so we could get in the room, some years ago.
I offered advice but they wouldn't listen, I was just the "numpty warehouse assistant."

So after an hour, I got bored, shouted 2 of my co-workers and together we lifted the cage door from its hinges after undoing the nuts on top of the pins.

Three Numpties 1................Contractors 0 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sorry, I digress.

Nice little piece of storage there. All these ideas for mine and not enough time!!!!

I take Dave from Bits4Vits with me whenever I lane :laugh:

Because he takes everything with him !

Seriously though I have no back seats, and my spare sits inside as 32" is a bit big for back door. Toolbox with a few tools, fuses, tape etc, 2m strop, 5m strop, 10m 20t tow rope, Kinetic rope, few spare ratchet straps (can hold axle in place with them when radius arms snap.... !) 7" Android tablet with mapping, tomtom for finding way home, 12v LED light on long lead

i always lane with another 3 guys, between us we have everything we need and never leave anyone behind, waited with Dave for 5 hours before now for his Vit to be recovered by the AA lol.

Here you go then - only a phone pcture I'm afraid.






Kirkynut

Thank you. I like the use of straps over the seats to hold it all in.................. a bit like me.

A Jimny Platex Girdle!! OK I know the older ones amongst us will know what a struggle they can be to get off in a hurry!!!!!

I'm still impressed.

Another thing that I have noticed missing is a bow saw ( or chainsaw) for cutting overhanging branches. Also any trees that have blown down across the lane.

If it's just for branches, I have one of these in my backpack.

Bahco Saw.
