Degreaser spray - not only as a degreaser in the garage - use it if you have a really nasty stain on clothing - spray it on, let it sit, scrub it with your fingers - rinse - do as many times as needed - it works!

Anderson Plugs are a must have for when going 'off grid'.

Technology in general.

Inox spray. Good for zippers, loosening stuck components like bolts & protects things from rust.

We always carry a can in our box of tricks in the back of the car when caravanning or boating/tenting.

Better than silicone spray, RP7 or WD40.

 Not only, but they are also lighter, so don't do as much damage to the payload! biggrin
