Those sort of thing :-)

At an even earlier period my Uncle Sam hired
me to fix airplanes and loaned me a tool box.
Same thing, Open end, Box end, Sockets. :-)

Sockets and ratchets are indispensible for the
jungle box, for sure!

We should make a list! The box should be water
and bullet proof, as well.

It can't be too big either. There are no
"coolies" to follow you into the jungle this
day and age...

It has been a while but from memory my Air Force tool box was about
all you could pick up with one hand and walk away with. Maybe 25 - 30
Kg.

In the jungle we traveled by helicopter :-)

As for "coolies" oh yes there are. When I was working in Irian Jaya we
hired "laborers" for a dollar a day, all in, and usually had a
hundred, or so, on every job.
