Good list.

Add in some snips, a small pack of drill bits, some thin steel, and self tapping screws.

Being able to make clips and hangers has helped me help idiots out of more than one jam.

anyone have a link to a nice small (storable) air compressor that's able to produce high PSI? my truck tires are 65 PSI and trailer tires are up to 80 psi.

The 7$ harbor freight air compressor will do it. It will take 30 minutes

Go to the junk yard. Find a car with air ride suspension.

Steal the compressor out of the system fpr 20$. Wire it in and plumb a small tank. Cheap, reliable , onboard air.
