Thanks Techno.
You saved me the time. I fully agree with the 1 foot rod. [I keep the gurkha lathi with handle and a leather hook. Slim and effective.] You can get info with any security guys.
Just my own 2 cents... [er.. paisa..!]
-A Powerful torch [something which will last longer/rechargeble]
-A Pen Torch,
-A Serrated Knife, [The kind with hacksaw like blade/with sharp front edge] I keep a fiscars which doesnt need sharpening.
-A pen/pencil set [ one in pocket and one in pen holder stuck somewhere inside the car.]
-A good/expensive key ring. [usually you wont forget it in wayside dhaba then.
]
-A yellow transparent plastic sheet and gum tape. [If you dont have fog lights and it starts raining, this will help. You just stick to headlight and drive] [my rally experience. It saved me really.]
-A Unviersal Plug Adapter [to charge batteries]
- If you're a biker, a good/brand new visor. [never go on a trip without one.]
Other optional things....
-Sunglasses
-Sunscreen lotion
-Medical & first-aid kit
-Binoculars
-Water Bottle
I know most of these items look obvious. But without checklist we always forget at least some of them.
BTW, your car body cover can act as a tent in emergency camping.
