woops sorry, 4lb?? typo, should read 2lb . I do on occasions carry a 12lb swedish axe on board and strap the pioneer toolkit on the tailgate though.

4 lb. mallet I carry is for any sheet metal "adjustments" (bumpers, mainly) necessary on the trail. It's nice for pounding tent stakes in too

With Roy's item list just about covers everything from a flat tire to a complete rebuild. That is amazing. I really need to compile a comprehensive "toolkit".

 

[RoverChic]

I might just need to add that mallet to my arsenal of paraphernalia.. You just never know.
