The ultimate event toolchest

[BeeAmaker]

Over the past couple years going to Makerfairs and various events I realized that I need a "to go" box all loaded and ready to go with parts and tools, so when events come up I don't have to spend time looking around my shop for tools and or parts I "might need" and ones that I "will need". I want a tool chest that all I have to do is grab it and go and have everything that I could possibly need.

So here is my start of the list, please respond with things you think should be included.

No, its like duct tape but cloth, very tough, and sticky.
