Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

Lol....
If you're going to the store anyway, why not just pick up some matches or a lighter while you're there?

 

that picture looks more like he was mauled by a lion or something....I thought ebola would render him unable to sit up with blood pouring out everywhere

 

I think the whole point of the video is that knowledge is more important than equipment. Think of what would be cleared out of the store first. Few people would think that some coat hangers, macramé cord and spice trays would have any value in a survival situation.

 

I know; I was being ironical.

 

crazy shit no the less.

Re joining this thread. I will be making a career change in about a month ( BNSF) and will be traveling alot. Flying a lot as well.
I will have a 2 hour commute to Fort Worth then drive or fly to wherever we will be working. 8 days on, 6 days off.
I will be making a small kit of some sort that I can fly with.

 

I love these containers from cabelas, even my shovel fits, air tight and lockable...
Right now I use 2. 1 Has my emergency equipment and is in the truck at all times and the other I load for our weekend trips... I think I'll load the third as an additional bug out container...

This is something I've wanted to do myself. My EDC bag would make TSA agents shat themselves and then arrest me.

Great recommendation! I've been looking for something where I can keep the stuff that lives in the truck without worrying about the Florida heat and humidity. I imagine two of these guys, packed with a layer of desiccants at the bottom would do just fine. Keep a pair of boots, one or two sets of clothes, gloves, etc. and then have one for my toolbag and other miscellaneous stuff.

EDIT:

Amazingly, Cabela's is cheaper than Amazon for these.

EDIT 2:

Here's a link to some smaller ones that are slightly cheaper than the ones on Cabela's. They are also clear, which some may prefer.

Now that I've got my ARE shell on, I went ahead and mounted my fire extinguisher in the back with a Quick Fist on the storage compartment door.



Surprisingly, it doesn't shake around too much. I think the Bedmat helps quite a bit.

Sorry for the rapid fire posts...but I finally slid my freebie digital camo LED Maglite in between the console hump and driver seat. I forget where I saw this for the first time, but I love it - it's a perfect fit.

Bought one of these today just in case we need to hole up in the house for a month or two while Ebola kills everyone. And when I go camping/trail riding.

 

Honda makes great generators. Good call!

Also I wouldn't fly right now if you paid me. I'd be interested to see your kit, Zombie Runner, when you get it together.

 

I've heard good things about these. Super quiet, run only as fast as the load requires and if you need more power, you can put 2 of them in parallel. I've been meaning to get one just like this.

 

To run your truck lights? You may need 3.

 

What size maglite is this? Might be worth putting a back up flash light there, hadn't seen this before. I have a Fenix E11 (now called an E12 ) and a cigarette lighter LED flashlight I picked up from Interstate that stays always charged and out of my way.

 

or four

I do like my lights.

 

I believe 4 will cause your frame to bend in a minor collision.

 

Not if I mount them on the hitch to absorb the impact.

 

With those tarps, one of the best things you can add are a few hard drive magnets. There are extremely strong for their size and allow you to easily make a lean-to tent using a tarp and the truck body.
