If you travel off road there comes a time when something breaks.
There are couple of emergency essential items that can get you home if the breakdown prevents you travelling.
(1) Welding shield. (If space is a premium you can take just the lens and a piece of carboard will suffice as shield.)
(2) A number 1.2mm all purpose welding rods.
(3) A welding handpiece with cable and clamps.
(4) An earth lead with clamps.
(5) A short battery cable with positive & negative clamps.
Most prospecting vehicles have twin batteries.
If some thing breaks remove batteries from vehicle and connect them in series (24V) with item 5.
Connect 3 & 4
Using 1 & 2 you can lay a weld to repair broken item to get you home.
If you haven't tried this method of arc welding give it a try, you will be surprised with result.
***Obviously you don't sit there welding for hours and flatten your batteries thereby adding to problem. Burning 3 or four rods will not flatten batteries.***
