There are some things to have with you for just about any type of wheeling adventure, whether just out for day trips or longer multi-day runs.
Spare tire
spare parts, a few of those trip stopping parts should be with you, extra motor oil, a fan belt, radiator hose repair tape, fuses etc. Longer runs means additional parts such as a birfield and every thing you need to install it.
tools, a small kit at the minimum
shovel, for digging out or for small fires
First Aid kit, a basic kit is just fine but longer trips require taking a bigger selection based on how far you are from help
fire extinguisher, I have one small one between the front seats and a larger one in the back
a CB that works
Hi-lift jack and a base to put it on in soft ground
tree strap and shackle
tow strap with shackles.
Batteries must be securely fastened down.
Other items to check include
making sure your horn works and you have good brakes including the parking brake.
Have extra water, for drinking and the radiator.
Include a spill kit for trailside messes as well as some sort of hand cleaner.
But most importanly, patience, a willingness to help out and a good sense of humor.
