I am sharing my Maxpedition Tool Kit. This is NOT a car repair kit nor is it a survival kit. It is a small kit with limited space mostly comprising of micro tools. It is not for the minimalist. This kit is only for mending things and making minor repairs. This configuration is not for everyone, nor is it designed for big repairs. It is designed for perhaps working on a fishing reel, crossbow, scope rings, swivels, sling, portable gas stove, tent, tarp, canopy, backpack, luggage, coats, boots, snowshoes, computer case, tripod, headlamp, holster, rifle rest, sled, harness, bike rack, locks, goggles, assembling gear, etc… It is not something I would carry in a backpack. It is obviously too big, bulky and heavy. It rides best in a truck or boat. It is EDC from the sense of vehicle carry only. A smaller kit can be customized for a snowmobile, ATV, motorcycle, boat or aircraft. There are a million and one tools out there and I’m sure the kit you build will be the right one for you. Below contents are listed below.
