Very smart list. No matter where the trip is, having water, a phone, cash, and a good first aid kit covers a whole lot of problems.
Wouldn't be much of a road trip without...
I haven't used chains on road in 50 years, but off road have made go/no go possible more than I can count. No hotels where I might use them and I'd have to wait until spring.I have never used or felt the need for chains?? I will even happily spend an extra day or two in the hotel waiting for a storm to clear or pull winch cable to avoid chains…but that is just me…I have a lot of stuff packed away I CARRY ALL THE TIME and have never used in my Bronco on a “road” trip…what I do use is my credit card and phone…off road it would be the high lift and tow/snatch strap…along with TP/wipes of course…party on!
The plastic bag family. A couple of gallon, quart, and sandwich bags. Always come in handy for any trip I take...Curious what the one thing is you MUST bring on the road with you.
Could be recovery gear, snacks, tools… anything you refuse to leave home without
Now that sounds like a good trip setup
That’s one of those things you never think about until you need one… and then suddenly you’re glad you brought dozens of them
TBH that is like saying "wearing underwear and socks". Your response is a given. Has nothing to do with a Bronco road trip. Don't leave home without it. Whether you are walking, biking, or driving!
This may be alarming to some, but socks and often underwear are rarities for me. I work from home, live in shorts, t-shirts and flip flops down here in FL. So, can’t assume others follow what some consider “the basics”, which includes firearms.TBH that is like saying "wearing underwear and socks". Your response is a given.

But, I get it and fully agree. Just answering the OP’s question and hadn’t seen it mentioned. Standard equipment, always.
Commando! I love it! (I just can't do that unless wearing a bathing suit, dunno why...). Also my feet have poor circulation, so I am pretty much always wearing socks unless I am in Hawaii (and then no Bronco)This may be alarming to some, but socks and often underwear are rarities for me.

Yeah I quit wearing underwear and socks in Vietnam…had to wear socks for work boots/dress shoes but pretty much totally gave up socks when retired and moved to beach town…never really had a use for a gun either…This may be alarming to some, but socks and often underwear are rarities for me.

Gotcha, yeah, I find myself regularly warm/hot, so the fewer layers, down here, the better. As for the other item, though I’ve never had a personal need for a fire extinguisher, I still own 2. Some things are just worth protecting. Learned that when I was a kid, sitting in a federal courthouse, 20 feet from some guys who decided my beautiful aunt shouldn’t continue living. Epiphanies happened, and lessons were learned.
