What’s in your truck at all times? I’m Canadian so no guns

Mountain bike. Hiking poles. First aid kit. Headlamp. Extra batteries. Jerky. A gallon of water in addition to what you expect to use.

 

Depends on the type of trip. Whether it’s a day trip out exploring or camping, the essentials I always bring are:

Roll of TP
Shovel
ARB winch recovery kit
Gloves
Fire extinguisher
Bear spray
First aid kit
Jumper cables
Maxtrax
Extra water
9/10 I’ll bring my Dometic fridge with snacks

 

TP, small first aid/emt jump bag, ratchet straps, multi-tool, small flash light. I am sure there is more stuff, but this is the basics.

 

i left my truck unlocked and lost my surefire flashlight, but they missed my Leatherman.

i drop another flashlight in it soon. and gloves. heavy gloves. and a bic lighter.

now? facemasks and nitrile gloves.

 

Winter recovery kit, tow strap, blankets, tie down straps, hand sanitizer, and Advil.

 

Some good suggestions here, I also take a garmin inreach just in case things go sideways, can get a hold of a buddy in a oh shit situation.

 

In addition to tools, flashlight, compressor and fire extinguisher this is a good item I like to keep in my truck...

To hell with jumper cables. I picked up one of those USB jump packs a couple weeks ago and have already used it twice: once on my jeep and once for a guy at a gas station. That thing is awesome.

At all times?

Hitch, tie downs
Tire inflator and plug kit
Small flashlight, lighter and multi-tool
Masks, sanitizer, paper towel
A few protein bars and bottles of water.
FSR map book and OEM first aid kit

I bring what I need on longer trips. Not a fan of clutter and I won't exactly get stranded on my 10km city commute.

 

Got a couple of crates with most of my snowmobile gear, trailer receiver/locks, set of hip boots, rain gear, an extra heavy jacket, tools, tie downs, and bungee cords, plus some useless junk i should clean out so i see out my back window better.

 

I keep carpet cleaner and interior cleaner in my car at all times, makes it look nice

 

It's right there in the first post, dude:

 

Learned long ago not to store anything resembling/smelling like food no matter how well sealed in a vehicle. Its an open invitation to all mice or rodents as such. They will chew your vehicle up.

 

Tire inflator and plug kit. Quart of oil. Common phone chargers, Shovel recovery strap, and haywire. Not everything I carry, but things that have gotten me out of jams far from home.

 

Suggestion - keep the bottle of wipes vertical. The damn things leaked all over my truck, thankfully on the floor mat, but it smelled like a lemonade stand for a week.

 

A fire extinguisher.

I use to work as a fire lookout and we got a lot of calls about cars on fire from overheating going up the mountains and a lot of fires would start on the side of the road due to people towing and the chains causing a spark on the side of the road.

Plus you never know a $20 fire extinguisher can potentially save someone’s life or prevent a huge fire from growing on the side of a road.
You could really make a difference from a fire spreading by the time the firefighters get there.
I have mine behind the cubby where my backseat where the seats folds down.
