Default Trailer landout gear

Having had my first landout a few weeks ago I realized I need to be
much more prepared for such an event. The landing itself worked out
quite well, no damage to ship or pilot and only 6 small corn plants
destroyed. The remainder of the event however did not go so well. It
seems that the days of the local farmer are over. It is much more
likely that the farmer who tends the field and has the key to the gate
lock may be many miles away from the field. We were eventually able to
remove the ship and trailer it back to the field but I realized that
the trailer was not well equipped. I would like to hear what others
keep in their trailer other than the standard loading and unloading
equipment. One suggestion I have received is a heavy duty bolt cutter
along with a new lock and set of keys. Any other suggestions or
complete lists?
