I've been asked by a number of people what sort of spare parts and tools I keep in my Atom's "trunk" while I'm on the road. Here's a list of what is currently in my Atom - I sometimes add more items when I'm going on a long trip or will be in places where there is no phone service and little or no traffic (such as Death Valley in August).
- Towel - very important Do you know where your towel is?
- Extra "Hot! Do Not Touch!" stickers
