Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

I generally just carry either newspaper firemice or sawdust firemice. They're waterproof, light fast, and burn hot. Same concept as the egg carton firestarters. I keep a couple in the truck, in my GHB, my BOB, and in my camping gear.

 

IN that case , NO.

 

I've never seen those, but I will be ordering one now.

 

that would be usable for about 1 day in south georgia a year lol

 

all I have is a knife...

 

Lol, when I read this I was thinking of New South Georgia. I've been reading a bit about Ernest Shackleton. Talk about surviving. That guy was a bad ass

 

hahahahaha

 

I see what you did there...

 

unless he can find someone without a knife and can take all their stuffs

 

I started cleaning out the cab of my truck and reorganizing. After 8 or 9 years you accumulate a lot of crap. I'll work on the tool boxes later.

Here's the truck


So today I emptied the cab and steam cleaned the interior after last weeks camping/wheeling disaster. 200k on the truck so its still pretty rough, but better than it was. Here's what came out


Here's what went back in

Center console organizer. Multitool, knife, winch controllers, safety glasses, gloves, pens, sharpies, lighter, batteries etc

.22 truck gun I picked up for $60. Its in "kit" form made from an old ACU leg. In the kit is the rifle, 22ammo in grizzly cans, a cheap knife, flashlight, 550, magnesium block, jute twine, candle and batteries. The rifle also has a sling


NFA paperwork copies for my suppressors and SBR


Covered with nonslip foam mat for the mutt to sit on


Under the fold down seats
Bottle jack tall enough to lift my truck. This will be awesome when I get OBA

Other side has cables and a flashlight. These batteries are actually made up of 36 AA batteries. So in an emergency you can open it up and snag them


Driver door pocket: convexed Swamprat Chopweiller, multitool, sharpener, lighter, battery pack and antenna for my CB

Back door pocket


Passenger rear door "shit kit":wipes, to, shovel, headlamp lighter, lighter, fire starters


Clipped to the passenger seat. Two hats. Very important when you're bald


Clipped to the driver seat is my GHB


Sitting behind it is my first aid kit.

Plugged into the power outlets is my CB and phone charger


That's pretty much it. If there's enough interest I'll go over the first aide and GHBs.

Thanks for looking

 

Yea I'd like to see it if you have the time

 

GHB

 

Pics of aid bag contents. I'm not listing it all tonight but I see some deficiencies

Holy crap this is awesome- exactly what I needed to see for ideas, etc..

I assume its you alone- no wife kids?> Not trying to pry just want to gauge your awesome kit vs what I have to come up with...

 

Yup I'm a official tinfoil hat wearing member of the SHTF Preparedness Group
Center console holds a Walther PPS .40 with an extra mag, Leatherman MUT multi-tool, zippo.
Also in the truck is a high powered D cell LED flashlight and an extensive med kit.
The truck is new so I'll be adding more as time goes by.

 

Yup its just me. There's some stuff I would add or double up on if I had kids.

 

For the med kit did you piecemeal that together or did you supplement one big kit?

 

Careful w/keeping a Zippo for SHTF situations. I got one many years ago and planned to do the same but what I didn't know is the fuel will evaporate out. I recalled my grandpa constantly filling his when I was a kid and I thought it was because he used it. I loved the smell of it too so when I was buying a lighter for my SHTF kit I just assumed a zippo was rugged and reliable but the fact of the matter is they're pretty shitty for that use actually. There are better lighters that won't be empty when you need them most and actually perform better in inclement weather too. If you use your Zippo regularly you'll probably be fine but I now know that I wouldn't trust my life to a Zippo lighter.

 

I pieced most of it together. I had a cheap $10 Walmart special that I emptied into the kit, the rest is stuff I got from work or while I was still in the Army. I keep adding to it as I come accross things that are useful. I keep a tourniquet with my range bag, but I might add one to this kit as well.
