Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

Don't know, don't have one of these (yet). Just thought I would share.
When I get it I will load it up and take some pics.

 

While on a quad... I see some fun times in the future!

 

I have one of their XL Bail out Bags and that thing is a beast. I carry it with me everywhere and have for a couple of years with no signs of wear. I highly recommend countycomm's stuff. Great stuff with good pricing.

 

any of you guys over on EDCforums??? They have some good info there....

 

Not fully loaded but here is what it looks like behind the seat on my access cab.
Neat bag but not as well constructed as their sat com bags. But for 16 bucks I can't complain.

 

80 pages of sheer awesomeness. I'm not a Survivalist but I love the idea of being prepared. I only have a few items in my truck.
-First Aid Kit.
-Gerber.
-Basic Socket set.
-Screwdrivers and Pliers.
-Hatchet / Machete.
-Tow strap, Ratchet Straps, Bungie Cords.
-Wood Blanket ( I want to replace with a sleeping bag rated at 0degrees).
-10x10 Heavy Duty Tarp.
-Weatherproof Notebook.
-Extra set of clothes and boots.

Does anyone have suggestions on a good set of long range Walkie Talkies? And way to charge batteries via solar power?

 

my buddy was stationed in Djibouti for a little while he picked this up to keep his gadgets charged

Okay so those look pretty legit but the power packs seem limited to only laptops. How would one convert solar power from a panel to a regular wall outlet plug.

ex: If I had rechargeable batteries or a battery pack that the docking station only had a wall outlet plug? Would it be a matter of mitch-matching adapters?

Hmmm I did find this for the batter packs though.

Interested in solar? I have checked around and this pops up in several expedition forums as well as camping stores I shop at (REI, Cabelas & Dicks).

I picked up the smallest solar panel for my iPhone and the Goal Zero 10+ for the rechargeable batteries -- looking at a slightly larger one for lights, etc.

 

Let me know how that goes. I'd mainly be interested in recharging batters like the smallest pack does, and recharging walkie talkie power packs. Cell phones and all the jazz are an added plus.

 

I just placed an order for one of these, reviews looked ok. Should be able to get a cup of coffee and charge the phone.

Great Vids and reminders. Thanks

 

I've heard good things about that brand but after personal experiences I'd suggest the Powertraveller units as they are extremely rugged and with the small case they make for it you can use it while on the move while dismounted.

If you buy it from the link provided use this coupon code for a 10% discount.

and what do you guys think of adding a bow to the armory?

 

LOL, I just watched "The Walking Dead-Season 2" over the last few days and the sheriffs kid found that same kit in the truck of a dead guy. The EXACT same kit.
