No gun?

 

of course sir...that changes daily. This stuff STAYS in the truck.

 

Lol. I figured. What steel is the tanto?

looks like the one at https://hvedegaardknives.com/blogs/monthly-lookbook/latest-work-out-the-shop

 

Raw Stainless. This kid (Only 20) out of Denmark is so talented. Had him make this over the summer before he gets too expensive. lol Yeah it is the one in the pic. Has brass inlays with nylon handle.

as a suggestion, I would drop the wall phone charger, and get a portable battery like:

Anker 20100mAh Portable Charger, Ultra High Capacity Power Bank with 4.8A Output and PowerIQ Technology, External Battery Pack for iPhone 15/15 Plus/15 Pro/15 Pro Max, iPad, Samsung Galaxy, and More

You may also consider a solar charger as redundancy:

Edit: I carry a couple similar batteries in my truck and one of the solar chargers.

 

That knife though. If it was 3v I’d order one now.

 

You never know what weather you well have in Oregon. I also carry a gun and extra ammo. For Protection and food if needed. A small folding shovel and axe for a fire.

 

Yeah brother me too. I change it in and out. This is stuff I just leave in there all the time. Good idea on the folding shovel. Axe is on order.

 

Man, I had to get one anyways and love this thing.

 

Yeah, I have a portable charger on the way. The chord is just a back up. I like that solar one though. Thx much.

 

It’s hot regardless.

Is it THAT dangerous for you to go to the supermarket in your area?

 

Yeah, It's like if you took the movies First Blood, Falling Down & The Goonies and combined them!?

 

My wife and I found it really amusing when I was unloading my 4Runner before getting the Taco. I can't even imagine what the police would think had they ever searched my car and looked at the wide array of "stuff" I had tucked in there. I had binoculars, rope, duct tape, zip ties, tarps, axe, shovel, saw, knives (many -I like knives lol) and about every other possible "need". I can just imagine a cop thinking "Okay there Dexter, what are you up to here"..... Plus a big box in the back with recover gear, high-lift jack and full size max-axe mounted to the top with quick fist clamps. Probably part of the reason the 4Runner was getting about 13mpg. But, I've already outfitted the Tacoma with much of my perceived "needs". I did take a lot of the recovery gear out as I won't be wheeling the Taco for awhile.

 

No mention of 50cal mount

 

Would love more info about the socket set and a photo.
