Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

Preedy

 

Ahhhh!!!! So about 2 days of lurking through this thread Im finally ready to post!
First off I have to say hands down to this group of ppl that are willing to invest in the protection of what they value most in life!

So that being said, in the past two days after being highly influenced to get my Sh*t prepared ive spent close to 1500 on getting my BOV/ Couple of BOBs ready=]]

I am still pending more items to the list. I amin the process of putting everything together so hopefully by next week I will have pics for your entertainment.


A question for all is how would you utilzed a camper? for our trucks?

 

what do you mean?

edit: what are you wanting to do with a camper? not to be a smartass but most campers you tow and set up at a site. not sure what you mean by utilize one for our trucks.

Great tip here. Thanks.

 

I've always got my BOB, but aside from that I carry these items in the rear passenger storage compartments:
- two different types of crowbars
- Kabar
- Multi tool
- Fire starting kit
- general small tools
- Rope
- jumper cables
Probably going to add a few more things over time.
I think a card with info like blood type etc, would be good to have on hand also. I don't remember my bloodtype so I gotta check with the dr.

 

If I had a camper shell I would make some sort of drawer system.
build it to where it sits flush and level between your wheel wells. 2 large drawers for tools and gear. have the top of the drawers have a hinge with a second piece of plywood so that you could unfold it and it then turns into a sleeping platform. leaving the underneath for storage.

It looks cool in my head, I dont know how well I translated it into words... haha
everything at work is blocked but here is an idea

i like that idea but i think i still want to be able to haul stuff in the bed.

 

Those are awesome ideas. Gives me some ideas.
Maybe a hybrid version storage towards next to the cab and some
hangers with space towards the tail gate to Haul. And make it like a
Easy quick release?

 

yea thats what I was thinking. have that stuff only up towards the cab where a tool box would be at normaly. then just have a few extra sheets of plywood on top of that unit that can unfold and cover the rest of the bed for a sleeping platform

Their vaults are expensive but you can get basis ideas on what to do.

 

Lots of D.I.Y. types here so maybe take some time and paruse the following link to get your creativity flowing. If you want to be able to jettison the works so you can haul stuff set them up with turnbuckles into the corner bed bolts to help hold them in place and that you can simply loosen and remove when needed.

Heaps of storage ideas to look at.

Got the custom rain fly for the Flippac in the mail today, just waiting for the call from Martyn to arrange a quick drive to Arizona to get the Flippac itself.

 

I used to carry a ton of crap in the tool box for any ocassion. I found that everyone else always needed something and I could never sit down with my beer for more than 2 minutes, so now I downsized my items and can actually enjoy my entire beer!
