Must have items for your truck

Don't you mean...


The slip saying you've paid off your truck is a need to have item.

 

Ouch That could probably double as an interosseous IV as well.

 

I keep a bottle of tylenol and a box of condoms in my center console.

 

I carry all the equipment to fix a flat tire. The first aid kit isn't such a bad idea... A tool box would be nice that way I can store a small aluminum jack with all my tools. I also have a small portable air compressor that is handy.

 

I have one of these!!

i better be knocked out if u ever have to use one of those on me! god i hate needles...

little off topic but in what case exactly would u have to use one of those?

 

Great question, I am interested to!

 

First, you need to have the medical training and expertise to legally use one of these.

Some (but not all) uses would be......

Cardiac tamponade relief (fluid between heart and cardiac sac)
Pneumothorax relief (air between lungs and the chest wall)
Hemothorax relief (blood/fluid between the lungs and chest wall)
Emergency airway (in lieu of doing a tracheotomy)

Those are just a few off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many more.

 

Chest decompression...I think it's almost like something we do to pop a fish's air sack before we throw it back in.

 

Chest decompression is the same as relief from a pneumo (air) thorax and/or hemo (blood) thorax. These are also terms used synonomously with a collapsed lung. When the lung collapses, the space (pleural space) between the lung the the chest wall fills with air, blood, or fluid. By inserting the large needle, the air or blood comes out of the space through the needle which will then allow the lung to begin to reinflate. Once the patient arrives at the hospital a chest tube would be inserted into the pleural space and hooked up to suction to allow the lung to fill the void where the air and/or blood was.

 

Deck plate cap, maglite, big knife, spare key, pens, pencil, city/state map, poncho, jumper cables, qt oil, coolant, recovery strap, ice scraper, a small tool box, sunglasses, lighter, phone charger, tire gauge

 

...for a lack of better terms.

A shovel and some lime, lots and lots of lime

 

Lime? Small green fruity citrus things, or the white powdery stuff that may or may not complement the shovel in certain particular unmentionable possibly intensely stressful situations.

 

Tire plug kit, flashlight, cell phone, can of dip, empty bottle, duct tape, needle nose pliers, tie downs, jumper cables, gas, and 4 girls to fill up the seats.

 

multiple flash lights, chains and tow straps, compressor, copenhagen, case of water, gps.
