And a bag of chips (sometimes I have to wait for my kids)

I like the clotting agent. I have to look that up.

 

Hammock with my tree quick straps for naps

I love the emergency nap kit. I wish I could do that lol

 

We can only buy 24 packs here. Lucky you.





I keep some hand sanitizer and Avon Skin So Soft in the car. SSS works great for keeping mosquitoes away.

 

Here is mine...

I don't keep a knife or gun in my truck at the moment. I never go anywhere without my leatherman wave on my hip. I do carry almost all the time but I'm waiting to get a console vault and maybe the locking storage for under the back seat before I start storing a firearm in the truck all the time (probably keep an underfolder ak or 870 with folding stock under the back seat then). I usually throw a couple of extra magazines if I'm going on a trip anywhere but I don't keep them in every day.

In my old truck I kept a pretty comprehensive tool kit as well, but since I have a warranty and road-side assistance I haven't worried about it yet for the Tacoma.

 

Sweet Jesus what are 4'1" or do you have 42" tires

 

This has been covered. We get it, he's short. The dude just wanted to share a picture of his truck that he is obviously proud of.

 

Wait wait wait! Y'all forgot a spare CPS!

QuikClot, in my honest (and experienced) opinion is trash. The active clotting agent Kaelin expires, and for it to work effectively you must hold pressure over the packed wound for a minimum of 3 minutes. Your best best is to just get sterile gauze...

Ie: https://www.mooremedical.com/index.cfm?/KERLIX -Gauze-Bandage-Rolls/&PG=CTL&FN=ProductDetail&PID=2399&spx=1

And ace wraps to use for completing your pressure bandage. Super cheap, and just as if not more effective.

As far as tourniquets, it's best to always have at least two. They can be improvised with a t-shirt and a solid 6 inch stick or dowel rod. Either way, a professionally made one is the most effective. The SOF-TDAP wide is my favorite.

You carry 50 cal? Desert Eagle? lol

 

Has Glock been covered yet?

 

Sounds like it's just the can. Commonly used for storing stuff. Fits nicely behind the seats.

 

Gotcha, that makes way more sense.

 

Didn't notice an adjustable wrench in the lists above. I carry a small and a medium ones.

 

I have robogrips, but not 'crescent' type wrenches. Might have to add that to my to add list.

 

Zip Ties are incredibly useful, buy quality ones that can hold a decent amount lbs., also a nice quality wire cutter for them as well.

 

I carry one of these.

 

I'm 5.8..
Look at the front tire compared to my body. 33.5 in tire.
