High lift works as a come a long too. or pull that tree out off the road or trail. Handy for sure.Bottle, when it doesn't tip over and leak it's oil out.
I don't have anywhere on my pickup to lift with a high lift, other than the wheels.

Repels-all spray works good for keeping critters out from under your truck, I spray the wheel wells and engine compartment. Worth every penny. Friends new Ram just got ate up on a camping trip. Dash board looked like a christmas tree.You need a snatch cord. Don't use a tow rope for recovery and definitely don't use a chain. You need a cord that will stretch and serve a dynamic function.
Battery jumper such as a NOCO mentioned above. Don't use jumper cables on/between newer vehicles unless its absolutely necessary as you can cause electrical damage.
Multimeter is always a good idea so you can field diagnose batteries, alternator etc -at least know what kind of potential problems you may be dealing with.
Never a bad idea to leave some rodent repellent in your engine bay when parked at a TH or out in the backcountry especially if you have a newer vehicle with soy based electrical wiring. The warmth of the engine bay can also attract rodents, though.
Mechanics bailing wire can be used to Macgyver a number of problems as can zipties.
Did that one time. The juice was not worth the squeeze. Yeah it worked but it wasn't fun.High lift works as a come a long too. or pull that tree out off the road or trail. Handy for sure.
Take the breaker bar. Few guys doing tire work are good at it. They use pneumatic tools as well. They tighten the lug nut till they won’t move. A 1/2” Milwaukee battery impact will not break lugs that over tightened by a pneumatic impact.Milwaukee m18 1/2 inch high torque should break anything on a 1/2 ton free I would think, but breaker bar takes up little room.
I picked a silky 500 to carry in the truck, after talking with mtwarden. compact ,no smell ,no leaks. Just eat a few snacks drnk some water and go to work.
I also take a length of pipe to fit over the breaker bar for extra leverage. I have fought with more than one lug nut that was over torque.Amen to the breaker bar. Last fall, had to jump up and down on the tire wrench that came with my Jeep Wrangler Sport S to get the lug nuts loose. Thank goodness I had found a rather level spot to change the tire.
Bottle for changing tires, high lift (aka, widowmaker) as a last resort for getting unstuck. Get a lift-mate/wheel sling if you want to be able to use a high lift without damaging your vehicle.Are you guys using bottle jacks or high lift jacks?
