For you guys with the jump starter, how often do you charge it

I probably charge mine every 6 months or so if I haven't used it. It usually shows 90%+ battery when I get it out.

Except I keep them blue shop towels, two plus you can wipe like 8 times. I have tons of experience from deer hunting public land with no rest areas in sight.

Pocket knife (currently missing, lost it somewhere)


Just lost mine too. And I used to make fun of my dad for always losing his. Where do these damn things keep going?

Please don’t change the title of the thread to what do you have in your murder kits?

For changing tires, I have a Dewalt 20V 1/2" impact for lugs and a scissor jack that can be operated with the impact. This setup makes me look forward to changing tires.
