Many of the inspection articles are for members to put on their sites. They are specifically designed to improve their search engine optimization. This one in particular should work well for you.

Add, one large aerosol can of automobile rubberized undercoating. It fixes small (and some not so small) leaks in roofs in a driving rain. It displaces water and dries dang near instantly, expands into the fill all the voids and cracks. Emergency roof patch in a can. Just don't get any on your fingers or hands It has to wear off and looks like you got some kind of horrid disease.

A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill

WD-40.
There are two things I can't do without. Duct Tape and WD-40. The WD-40 is for thing that don't move, that should. The Duct Tape is for things that move, that shouldn't.

WD-40 for sure. Not sure why you would need a caulking gun when in todays market you can get squeeze tubes of various sealants. If you do include the caulking gun in the list then you should also include caulk. What about a medium size tarp or plastic sheathing?
