Reasonable list. I need to upgrade my skids and get a winch....and some taller tires. Other than that I carry a ton of stuff you mentioned. I don't roll anywhere without a tow strap and shovel...or wet wipes.

I have a saw in the truck almost everywhere I go. If I'm hunting out of a backpack and parking at a remote trailhead I can fit one of my small arborist saws under the back seats. If I'm truck camping I'll bring a normal one.... been caught with my pants down enough times and learned the hard way....

Other than that a combination of what's been mentioned already

I never want to be "that guy" that slid off the road and had to drink pee and eat bark for 3 days. I usually have enough MRE's for a few days and a small case of water. I always have a tool kit to cover most scenarios, it is a jeep, both on my vehicle and anyone I may run into in trouble.

Nothing worse than being stuck 40 miles from town for the simple things.

Anyone carry one of the handheld jumpstart packs?

Seem like they might come in handy

Yes I do. I didn't have it years back and was stranded at a trailhead because my truck ran fine to the hunting spot..then I came back and NOTHING..except click click, click click. That was followed by many colorful words. NO traffic at the dead end trailhead of course....LOL...so now I carry a battery pack. And not just any battery pack....I have this one NOCO - 4000A Lithium Jump Starter - GB150

I'm adding a warn M8000S to the tacoma this year.
But because I live in suburbia, and don't need it 365 days a year, I installed a hidden front hitch receiver, and ran switched power wires to the front and back of the truck with big quick connect plugs. Now I can run the winch in the front, or back of the truck, in my opinion making it more versatile for different situations if I am out solo. When im not out in the woods, it can stay in the garage. This way I also didnt add a few hundred lb's to the front of the truck with a winch bumper, and permanent winch.
Things that always stay in my truck..
First aid kit, tow strap, baby wipes, work gloves, a small tarp, jumper cables, small tool kit, and a few bottles of water.
When headed out I add in the shovel, winch, and winch accessories.

I had a dead battery way up in Big Bear near gold mountain, ended up pulling my serpentine belt and wrapping a rope around my alt and spinning it by hand. after a couple premature tries and a good 15/20 minutes of spinning it the truck started. Just a I'm screwed moment remedy you all should Know
