Not that much as an everyday occurance.
2 straps (15' & 30')
Relevant bunch of shackles & hook
Heavy-duty[/b] jump-leads (15' & made out of 400+ amp welding-cables)
Wheel-chocks
Breaker-bar & selection of usual sockets for various car wheel-nuts (good samaritan that I am)

2 Hi-Viz vests* (one is a sleeved waistcoat for me)
1 Hi-Viz coat
2 Rechargeable (55watt) torches
2 Warning triangles

If I know I'm going anywhere near water, or after heavy rain, a ford, I stick my Waders in.

* I would say that these (or at least one) are a must-have item.
They might save your life on a dark, rainy, night.
