As the tool kit and supplies are acquired you will have to figure out where to put the tools and stuff in your vehicle. I asked what is kept at your fingertips on a few forums. What a waste of time, top answers were cell phones, credit card and hand gun.
I had all the supplies but they were stored improperly and it was not easy to get to them, especially in the rain or a blowing snow storm. I was trying to group them together better and asked who keeps what in door pockets, center consoles and glove boxes.
The off road forums pretty much only talked about taking what worked on the specific vehicle they were driving and no extra tools, the Prepper forums roasted me for fixing lawn tractors, garden pumps and bicycles, It is difficult to find people who are self reliant and enjoy working across multiple areas of interest. I eventually moved stuff around till I got something that kind of worked for me. I searched forestry forums, over-landing and off road forums, lawn tractor forums, snow plow forums, multiple vehicle specific forums and many others.
I eventually stopped asking and started looking for required tool lists for vocational schools and job postings. I also started writing lists myself in my down time at work. I would picture in my head going through changing a thermostat, a starter, an alternator, brakes, a wheel bearing and so on.
