I stole and modified a list from a book on 4×4 off-roading. You probably don’t need all of this, but it will give you things to think about.
SPARES
1: Inflated, full size spare tire.
2: Duct tape
3: Spare fuses, at least two of every size in your vehicle
4: At least one gallon of water above and beyond your drinking water
5: Assorted zip ties, tiny to huge.
6: Water pump, power steering, and alternator belts.
7: Radiator stop-leak, heavy duty.
8: Silicone emergency tape for patching radiator and heater hoses.
9: Can of GOOD penetrating oil. (PB Blaster!)
10: Can of CRC 5-56 for drying wires.
11: AT LEAST one quart of motor oil, one quart of ATF fluid, one pint of brake fluid, one pint of power steering fluid, one gallon of anti-freeze.

14: Roll of GOOD electrical tape. (3M)
15: Roll of plumber’s Teflon tape.
16: Tube of hi-temp silicone sealer (gasket maker). IMPORTANT! REPLACE ANNUALLY! GOES BAD EVEN IF NOT OPENED.

I don't like to make plans. They cause the word "PREMEDITATED" to get used in court!
