Much as mentioned above with the inclusion of...

BOG ROLL!! :D

baby wipes

Hi-lift jack (I use mine regularly and if you don't have a winch its the next best thing)

air compressor

Fire extinguisher

spare spark plug and lead (longest one)

small spade

waffle boards

midgie repellant :hahaha:

Sun cream :hahaha:

if you took everything you might need you'd need a trailer though! :hahaha:

I usually just go to pay and play sites and leave the spares in the van but I take springs, transfer boxes, clutches, distributors, half shafts, you name it! :D

Depending on weather conditions I'd add spare clothes and a towel wrapped in bin bags to keep them dry.
Jerry can 1 with fuel 1 with water
Cambelt
Socket set

And attach recovery ropes to truck before getting stuck.. Nothing worse than having to crawl around in cold wet muddy holes trying to attach ropes to be recovered
if in doubt, FLAT OUT!

mans tool kit > duct tape, wd40 and a bfh is all you ever need

I think if your going alone its a good idea to have a high lift jack, a recovery strop & I have a folding shovel too
