Frequently there are questions in the forum about what one should take on a trip; what type of safety equipment and recovery equipment, camping gear and accessories, food and beverage, tools, and VEHICLE SPARE PARTS.

I want to focus your attention on VEHICLE SPARES for this exercise.

In reality I know you would never leave home without numerous vehicle spare parts in your kit.

But I want you to FORCE RANK all the spare parts you might take and nominate the ONE that you would never leave home without and perhaps give a comment as to why if you are inclined.

The concept of FORCE RANKING is we may have differing views on the importance of various spares, perhaps based on vehicle type (see footnote!), places travelled to, and access to spares along the way. But by coming up with the one item you would never leave home without, collectively it provides guidance to others, especially those less familiar or new to travelling, on some of the more important items.

This follows on from a recent thread where I posed the question "What tool wouldn't you leave home without?"

Footnote: Yes, I owned three Landrovers, and one might argue that I could have just taken two on any trip, one to travel in, one as a spare. But for the exercise, let’s keep it to a specific part!

Cheers, Baz – The Landy
