    Just a bunch of old crap
    I'm all over this thread. Sub'd for sure.


    All I can say is that right this very moment I have in the truck:
    • 14 days worth of Datrex calorie bars for 1 person
    • water purification for 10,000 gallons
    • Crovel (bad-ass zombie killing folding shovel/crowbar/hammer)
    • 7 different knives and multitools
    • 30,000 lb tow strap
    • snatch block for my winch
    • 1/4 mile of 24 gauge wire (great for electrical fixes and for lashing things together)
    • basic tools to repair just about anything on the truck
    • tire repair kit
    • 60" hi-lift (mounted in the bed)
    Whenever I go ANYWHERE off road, I bring the BOB:
    • Gerber machete with saw
    • another folding saw
    • 2 drop point knives
    • 2 more multitools
    • another 7 days of dried food for 2 people
    • more water purification
    • tin foil
    • storm-proof matches
    • 2 first aid kits condensed into one small drybox
    • 2 led flashlights with enough batteries for 4 changes each
    • small 2 man tent
    • 2 4" diameter metal animal traps (rated for up to coyote size)
    • mess kit with additional large metal cup
    • 2 large bivvy sacks
    • signal mirror
    • flare gun with 6 flare cartridges
    • 100 large zip ties
    • 500' of paracord
    • whistle
    • compass
    • 2 rain ponchos
    • 6 large freezer ziploc bags
    • 90oz collapsible water carrier
    Everything listed above for my BOB fits in this bag (creatively but it does fit!)

    http://www.lapolicegear.com/diplomat-3-day-backpack1.html

    Smokin deal at $30. I got the OD green one and keep packing more stuff in it or on it.

    When I hardcore off-road, I bring an entire 30 gallon storage chest of recovery gear, compressor, 7 gallons of water, etc.

    I have my iPad. There's an app for just about everything I'll need. :D

    Seriously, my truck just needs to get me home where all my stuff is safely stored. My son works for an emergency preparedness store and get's me all kinds of survival kits to pack away under the back seats. I keep a good pair of walking shoes and a jacket in the truck. "Mr. Bang" goes everywhere with me for protection. I feel this is reasonable.

    I carry my hunting pack with me in my truck, it has everything I would need to survive for one whole week in the wild, I really look at it as an essential in the wintertime and always throw in my Muck Arctic Sport boots in the back behind my seat along with a folding shovel and an extra winter coat, hat and gloves.

    just got back from another training session, it was pretty fun, tying people to backboard and whatnot. Only thing that I gotta say is it's awkward following my parents footsteps. Instructor told a somewhat embarressing story of when he started and when my mom was teaching him.
