Interior Gear Setup

I use some of these guys stuff on the back of my seats has worked well for over 3 years all the bits you don’t want to stuff under the seats.

All my gear is behind the seats or under. Anything else gets thrown in the bed.

 

I think its the wisdom of recognizing the risk you face. I have several bags that are task oriented. The 14" bag that rides behind the seat is sitting on a folded canvas tarp and is basically just tie down stuff for hauling something (ratchet straps, rope, paracord, carabiners and soft loops) along with a very minimal tool set, Surefire LED and gloves. A 16 qt Stanley adventure cooler behind the passenger seat because I do make beer and que runs. Rain gear and jacket if its winter and a spare pair of trail runners that are not steel toed. A Noco booster pack and a decent first aid kit are in the left and right rear door pockets, the first aid kit is geared more toward burn stuff since I am around welders most of the time.

If it is an overnighter on the road, I have a sling pack with extra meds, another flashlight, eye glasses, ear plugs (for snoring SOB's in the motel room next to you) small bottle or flask of bourbon, a bunch of quarters for motel vending machines and maybe $40 of smaller bills, a handgun, a bandana and a swiss army knife. If I am on the road a couple days, just shove a pair of socks and underwear in it and I dont have to bother with bringing luggage in every stop.

If I am heading to a 4 wheeling destination all the recovery stuff goes in a tool box under the tonneau cover. I see no need to carry it otherwise

 

@perterra great list. I love the human side of it. Good perspective. I live in snow country so the recovery gear is necessary 6 months a year. I’m going to put an old sleeping bag under the rear seat.

 

I have a couple gear set up videos. It all depends on how you want to store/organize it and how you use your truck. Most of this could fit in a bag you throw in the back of the truck. I like to have my gear set up a certain way. If you have any questions reach out.

I think there's a knife somewhere under all my Chick Fil A receipts, maybe some dimes and nickels.

 

One of my fellow indentured servants worked the Dakotas (I was all Texas) and he carried a sleeping bag, food, water and a candle lantern with refills year round.

Not on the road anywhere like I used to be, but for me help was always a phone call away on the road and when on a job site there were always skytraks and welding cars that were 4WD with winches on both ends. I think were I in Idaho, I would have had vastly different risk and needs. Though a shit load of quarters is always handy when you roll in to a hotel at midnight and eat out of a vending machine. LOL
