I try to travel fairly light...I know many take a lot more spares. The way I see it, if it will not stop me from moving, then it is a lower priority to take...for example I replace my shock absorbers if they have had a fair abuse before setting off on a trip...if a shock did die, it wont make too much difference to a leaf sprung vehicle, so I dont take any.
Thought I would compile a list of what I take for my 1963 SWB Land Rover...it all fits into a plastic box from a supermarket and a metal box which fits is bolted to the wheelarch (as well as containing many tools etc).
