EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK. .......... no tools.
I think this is BigMistake. Please rethink this, as with the Terrorist
hourly attacks, and MethHeads all about us, the days of the friendly passing
motorists are getting few-er and few-er. 20 lbs of tools, fuel pumps,
vacuum/fuel line and Ideal hose clamps, voltmeters, extra duracells, fan
belts, tie-wraps, hook-up flexy wire, springs, etc. etc. etc. just don't
take up that much room and " stuff" happens whether or not you "schedule "
it, or are looking for it, or ignore it.

......... oh, and more than once I have used my 30 ft long flexy tow strap
for my car, sometimes other cars; , weighs about 3 lbs, and out here in
Redneck Pickem-up Truck country, and since Rednecks believe in carrying
guns and knives they will usually stop and give you a tow, actually seem to
enjoy using their trucks liken that thar ....
