Halfords 200 piece socket set
Small tool box with all other tools - screw drivers, pliers etc
Spare bulb kit

Head Torch and normal cree led torch
Clutch cable
Auxiliary Belts
Code Reader (Scangauge 2)
Oil (engine) transmission also if I go far

A lightweight Trolley Jack if I go away
WD40
Fuses (including the biggies under the bonnet)
Electrical Tape
Self Amalgamating Tape (a good temporary repair for split / burst coolant hoses)
Collapsible Spade
Small tree branch cutting tool

So when we go greenlaning, you can see we can get out of most situations and if away a local garage could be used to get us back up and running in a day or so for rear wheel bearings as I think an angle grinder and press might be a bit excessive!
My Jimny is built for proper off road use as it used to be used on hardcore off road sites but as I got bored of changing brakes, bearings, cleaning and re-painting it more than using it, it has developed into a micro off-road tourer / slightly expedition vehicle that is just a little OTT for those purposes!
If money were no object it would have a rear winch too and air lockers front and rear.

Do you pull a trailer with all that kit in Kirkynut?

Do you pull a trailer with all that kit in Kirkynut?
No trailer. Just careful packing in the boot and the ground anchor is on the roof of the external cage with the waffle boards.
I've used my waffle boards. They can cover a rut to allow you to drive it or create a ramp that's grippy on slick and slippery mud hills or on rocks.

The underdog often starts the fight, and occasionally the upper dog deserves to win - Edgar Watson Howe.
For daily driving and the occasional offroading I don't carry anything at all. Perhaps a tree strap for winching.

Hi-jack
Winch extension strap
tree strap
Shackels
Snatch block
Tools
tyre inflator for compressor
Spare set of front shafts and CV joints
Spare panhard rods
Ground anchor
Action Cam
Compressor, onboard ARB high-output
Engine oil
Transmission oil. I use the same oil for Diffs and T-box.
1 L coolant
Cable ties
Duct tape
A selection of nuts and bolts
Wire
Lots of drinking water
Sandladders
