    I've been adding to the emergency stuff stowed away. My most recent addition was a spare set of boxer shorts because sometimes you just shouldn't trust a fart.

    I noticed with the access cab, a box of kleenex fits the drivers side rear door pocket perfectly. You can reach back and grab one with the doors closed when you need to snake a boog. Not sure if this is the case with the ACs with the rear seats tho. Mine is the Utility model.

    This winter I kept an extra blanket in my truck. I always keep an LED flashlight in there too. A couple months ago I was the first person to show up after a car accident had just taken place and the blanket and flashlight came in handy. Flashlight because it was dark outside and the blanket for one of the victims. I'd say everyone hit the nail on the head as far as everything else. A lighter or matches are also great just in case.

    All of which is behind the seats or under the rear seats
    besides knife flashlight and battery charger are in the centre console

    Some of which is also just there becasue I never take it out after going wheeling and its not in the way so it stays.

    My truck is basically set up so that in about 30min I can be ready to go camping or get the fuck out of town lol.
    All my camping gear is kept in plano storage bins in the garage with plenty of canned food and freeze dried food, all camping gear. All I'd need to do is fill up some water jugs to have some water.

    If my 3rd gen broke down while driving around in the mountains, I'd go ahead and push it over the edge and hope it blows up. Then hopefully someone would see the smoke and send help.
