If I tell you whats in my van, will you really be surprised by it? Nope.
I carry at least one surfboard with me at all times, you just never know when its going to be good. And when its good, go surf.

Links for fire dampers & doors,
1/4" inline control air dryer cartages,
11/4 TW bender & extra handle @ 32" long, for a real tight spot once.
A "Swifter" dust mop handle w/ a 10-32 screw in the end. Its for testing emergency lights, I have enough 12" sections to reach about 10' up.
And a coffee pot. :-)

A 36" crow bar and a fire blanket.. I once came across a car accident where the car was rear ended and the elderly couple were burned alive because the doors were jammed..
