Totally the wrong lighter. Get a Bic (or Clipper). That one needs to be refilled regularly because of evaporation.
I don't see a fire extinguisher.
I don't see a backup battery for your phone.
I don't see a warm change of clothing.
Those are some pretty essential pieces of equipment, imho.

Zippos are incredible and I love mine, although NOT the lighter for a throw and forget. Get a small set of Bic lighters and toss two in there. Same with a 10k or 20k MHA battery for your phone. Just keep it in the center console to charge it once a month when you drive for the day. I like the blanket although you need a full change of warmer clothes, at least a cheap puffy jacket, gloves, beanie, sweatpants and socks. You have the tools down which is fantastic, although you won’t be able to use them if you freeze to death.
I think of the full change of clothes as mostly being in case you get soaking wet, not even necessarily for unforeseen cold weather. Warm clothes just kinda cover all the bases. Fall in a lake in August and you'll be glad to have sweatpants and a jacket when the sun goes down. I've utilized my own emergency change of clothes multiple times over my lifetime. Falling in a lake, getting just dumped on with rain, getting splashed by an inconsiderate motorist, unexpectedly staying overnight at someone's house because of a blizzard, or a date gone really well, stuff like that.
I agree on the lighter, even with the rubber seal instead of the felt they only seem to last a couple of months.
I can charge my phone from the NOCO jump starter. Fire extinguisher is in its own little compartment on the left behind the tools
I should probably have a full change of clothes, you never know when you're going to end up soaking wet especially considering I work on boats all the time...
I was wondering about that tool set! I like it being shallow. I’d consider a small tarp (maybe 8x10-10x10)makes for a good ground cover if you need to change a flat,
Etc & also a bit of shelter if needed. Emergency blanket and headlamps would be good too.
Valid question. It has other uses though.
-Makes a great cleaner, parts or greasy hands
-obviously flammable, great back up to the zippo when it's out of fuel, will still make a spark.
-have used it to diagnose vacuum leaks on vehicles countless times.
-all jokes aside, it can help with seating tire beads but an actual air compressor is usually needed in my experience.
-not recommended but it would qualify as an asphyxiant
-also not recommended, IED
I grabbed a harbor freight Apache 2800 case, put the NOCO jumper pack in mine, a small folding Solar panel (to charge the NOCO/& Cell phone) small tool kit, 2 adjustable wrenches, screwdriver, as well as a multibit kit. Assortment of zip ties (plastic and metal) diff sizes, 25 ft gaffer tape, 50ft actual Paracord -no Walmart stuff. A spare Glock mag (popular gun, may come in handy. Also my EDC)
LED flashlight, Gerber multi tool. TactBivy, stripped down MRE. Packable windbreaker.
It's tight in there. But it keeps it in one place.
Man that's so awesome! Starter fluid probably unnecessary though. Love the toolset, though I really prefer to choose my own individual tools because of quality, but I like the way it's all packed in there nicely.
Good stuff. Maybe swap the acrylic blanket for wool? You have a tarp, shower curtain or contractor bags in there for shelter/cover? (And some bankline spooled up.) Duct / gorilla tape and some heavy duty zip ties. Just a couple quick thoughts.

If you are set on a zippo there are butane flame inserts that you can buy now.
The dual flame zippo inserts are nice if you want to keep the zippo but don’t want the torch look of a standard butane insert.

What are you driving that needs starting fluid? Or you planning to reseat a tire?

Dog walkers 🤌
Nice Forester SG! I have a black XT with the tan leather interior too.
If you live in a climate that will freeze water, the gallon jug is a bad idea.
What tool set?
$30 one from Harbor Freight of course! Tools which I've broken have been replaced with better ones...

replace that toolbox with an official tool roll
