Practical emergency gear to store in your Tacoma

Exactly. It's there for morale purposes, lol. Although it's come in handy several times at impromptu gatherings

 

I had a towel in my truck in High School 40 + years ago so I could dry things off

 

Here is that threat another guy started for wheeling alone.

I'm an EMT so I got....

trauma kit
backpack with 3 changes of clothes
axe/shovel
tow strap
flares
jumper cables
reflective vests
traffic advisers in the back
few knives
flashlights
pen(s) & paper



I plan on getting MREs, some more recovery gear, camping gear, and a handgun with a safe when I'm finally 21 along with a CCW

 

Glad someone mentioned this.

If you are making roadside repairs at night, this low cost, compact piece of gear is really useful.

Triangle reflectors are also good.

And a pint of bourbon....lol

 

LMFAO... Lets not forget the importance of the bourbon! Yea, I've had one too many close calls being wrung like a rag between my truck and some idiot driver who decides to speed around me assisting an accident. So yeah, I now got traffic advisers, reflective vests, and road flares to help make me more visible

 

Simple first aid kit from Walmart, TP, Swiss Army Knife, maglite/extra batteries, high-lift jack, shovel, axe, pick, traction boards, ground anchor, tow straps, winch/gear, MREs, water, 3 tins of tuna, sleeping bag, jumper cables and my .44 cal black powder pistol with enough powder and balls to recreate the civil war

 

Damn Dude, where the hell you live.....The Golden Road?

 

Ever since we had the ballistic missile scare in Hawaii I started carrying 2gal water and MREs but I’m afraid it’s getting too warm to keep those in the truck now.
I purchased 2 wks worth of MREs, I hope I never have to use those things

 

Nope, not yet, trying to get a supplier from Ukraine

 

I regularly have metric socket kit, jumper cables, gloves, funnel and OEM jack

 

You sir are a legend

 

Found you some grenades on eBay!

- Tow strap
- Rachet straps
- Bungees
- basic tarp
- try to keep water in there.
