    Overlanding alone first time need advice.

    So since you live in Murphy's I figure you know that Nevada can be cold and wet/snow in April. I go solo most of the time and I wander, but I take a personal locator beacon. Don't get too carried away with mileage, The "If today is Tuesday, this must be Belgium" plan get's old and increases...

    Hatchet or machete?

    Not that I don't like it, but the handles tend to break and you can't replace the handle.

    do you skip 3/8 drive sockets?

    Just as an aside, I've found that by removing(breaking the plastic) handles off of a set of nut drivers I can put them in my cordless drill and make short work of removing/installing nuts and bolts. Sometimes only using the rachet for initial loosening or final torqueing.

    do you skip 3/8 drive sockets?

    As I stated before I mostly use the 3/8's, I would advise getting the deep sockets, they can fit over the nut ends when you can't fit a spanner. I keep all my 3/8's in a Plano box, that way they don't get wet from condensation, rain, deep puddles or dirty from dusty conditions. I keep my 1/4's...

    do you skip 3/8 drive sockets?

    I mostly use 3/8, SAE and Metric, but if I have to set torque, I need the 1/2 to fit the wrench. Not much use for 1/4 on my rig, but it does allow for tightening some hose clamps in difficult places.
