There might be a few more I'm forgetting Lol

 

Forgot the duralast mini starter log and the other fire starter about the size of a condom...

 

I basically wanted to be ready to go camping at any time because I like to be spontaneous like that and just disappear every now and then lol.

 

Looks like your prepping for zombie attach but you need more water and a purifacation device and some dehydrated meals ..lol

 

I have to look into some kind of lockable storage bins that arent to big to hold more gear and maybe weather proof to keep on roof rack

 

I do need some meals Lol, I have 3 different ways to purify water Lol

 

Look at seatosumit dry bags, I picked up a few at REI this weekend, they are pricey but suppose to be one of the best on the market

 

@SquirrelyPatriot Here's another thread that you may like to check out:

How big?
I have a 42" Plano rifle case mounted to my Yakima bars.

 

Pretty extensive list, @SquirrelyPatriot. I'm debating whether or not to purchase a TruckVault but finding it hard to spend $3,000+ on one. The additional storage space would be most welcome.

 

Those are nice.

 

@DrFunker, do you keep your rifle case permanently mounted to your roof rack? I was considering a similar setup for storing recovery gear/tools but I feel like it would attract unwanted attention.

 

Yes, have had it on for a few months now. Am looking forward to seeing how it fairs in the winter. Has been great in the rain.
That is exactly what mine is for. I like the low profile and lockability of it.

 

@Maximus This is the one I have.
May get another one once my BajaRack comes in.

 

Good to know it handles rain well. That's a very reasonable price, too. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Yea that's a crazy amount. I got nates molle panel for behind the seats, that opens up SOOOOO much space behind those seats.

 

That's one of my IFAKs and my knife attached to it.
