I'm just wondering what tools etc people take to deal with emergencies, e.g. Desiree / snot gobbler overnighting in Newton Heath because of crap round the prop? I like to be independent where I can.
I have an outboard so stuff like that is easy to remove, do Ne it several times on the Newton Heath stretch.
I have hacksaw, cutters, Stanley knife for rope etc.
I carry one of those wire engine hoist winches and a couple of nylon slings, to winch open swing bridges and locks if needed. I have a small clamp vice, files, hand drill for small metal repairs and fixes, a couple of glues, araldite and contact adhesive. Multimeter, spare wire and a box of crimp ends etc.
A folding bike, useful for going for supplies, lock wheeling, running down water to fill pounds.
I'm sure there's more,
