This is kind of a tangent from the First Aid Kit thread so I made it a new topic.
I've always liked having a checklist to use before going on any road trips (weather chasing or otherwise). It's easy to forget critical items when you have other things on your mind. I've ommited wx chasing specific items here since everyone will have thier own requirements for this. I also didn't include obvious items such as your cell-phone(or other communication methods), clothing and food for instance.
I adapted the list from several other sources, and have used most of the items at one time or another. In the case of the tools I tend to limit the items to ones that will work with my vehicle, although some of the tools have come in handy to help a fellow motorist out of a jam too. Most of the items are arranged in "kits" to keep things tidy both in and out of the vehicle.
Feel free to make suggestions or criticisms as required; I'm always looking to make improvements.
