Yes. Yes. Good idea. I'll try that. And Yes.?ÿ

Yellow Spray Paint seems to last the longest.

A Front End Alignment tool is also useful.

'Also, before you load up all your gear at the end of the day' Look that every piece of equipment you used is visibly in the truck.?ÿ

A turkey baster works well for drawing water out of a tight monument well, and can also be used for blowing concrete dust out of a drill hole.

For a flat tire....

A pack of tire plugs, and a 12 volt compressor, is often easier to use than a jack, lug wrench, and getting the spare out.

Takes less time, and you don't get as dirty.

A lot of vehicles now don't even come from the factory fitted to carry a spare. My 2015 van is one, although I think a mechanic could install the hardware.

A large claw hammer, framing, with waffle head, can be a handy tool. To dig, to set rebar, to use on long hikes.
