My neighbor works for a survival company called Survival Frog. He asked me the other day about all the gear I bring when offroading. He then asked me what happens if the battery on my Jeep dies. I had to admit, I didn't really plan for the scenario and felt a little stupid considering all the other gear I've been known to bring (extra windshield wipers anyone?).
So, I'd like to see what people have for jump starting their Jeep in the backcountry.
I'll start us off and, full disclosure, my neighbor hooked me up with this for free. Not tested it repeatedly but I did have the opportunity to do so tonight thanks to a weird issue when wiring up my ARB Compressor that resulted in a dead battery (looking for more insight on that issue in my build thread).
Here is a video of me using this little tool to get it started again. Claims it can be used 20x to jump start a vehicle before needing to be recharged.

People have other options they like? Assume having a buddy jump you isn't an option.
