What’s in your travel box?

As I wait for an allocation to pop for my DCOR, I am looking for things to start getting together now. Our goal is to have an off-road, mostly trail riding vehicle. We live in Washington state and what a vehicle that can take us to weekend trips and trails in the state. We are going to do some basic modifications (TRD-Lift, Skid plate, etc.) mostly because we are getting a lot more ice and snow at out house lately.

So the ask is what do you keep in your truck for trail riding?

Shovel - Something like an infantry entrenching tool
Water
Emergency Blankets
First Aid Kit

Also, what are people using to store these things in their trucks? I’d like something easily removable, like a drop in box or something because during the rest of the time, this will be a cargo hauler while we go through some home renovations.

We realize that we are getting more truck than we need for most of this, we get it, but I need something to modify and mess with in the downtime…

 

First aid kit and TP. I don’t carry water as it freezes.

 

I bring a little alcohol stove and an MSR dromedary bag.

Water freezes but it also melts. I'd rather be with frozen water than no water at all.

 

For everyday driving I carry one of those costco lithium battery jump starter thing.

 

100’ line, snatch block & clevis.
In Reach Mini takes the search out of search & rescue.
A couple of MRE’s and water.
Folding saw.
Quality air compressor.
Traction boards.
If you take meds daily, take five days of meds.

 

Does it not break the container?

 

Nope. The Dromedary is flexible. I fill it 2/3 or 3/4 full with no issues.

It has a large Nalgene compatible opening. You can easily smash ice chunks out of it.

Fleshlight..

 

They should make a Fleshlight Pro

 

Oh they do. It is called a woman, and they are very expensive. And worth it.

 

But a fleshlight is much less naggie in an emergency situation!!!

 

Just one? Always a good Idea to bring a spare or two for your campmates. Unless you're really nice and don't mind sharing with your bros.

 

Whats mine is theirs! Bringing two+ just seems to negate the tread lightly rule!

 

A considerate friend and conscientious outdoorsman. I like your style.

 

I appreciate your honesty and for that I will produce addition Lysol wipes!

 

And a gentleman!

 

Im just doing what is right!

 

Things I keep in my truck:
- Shovel
- Chopping axe
- Hand saw (15” Craftsman - cleared a trail by myself with it just yesterday)
- Tow strap
- Blankets
- Ratchet Straps
- D Ring Shackles
- Tire pressure gauge and a small tire pump

I usually just keep this stuff in my truck (some mounted in the bed - axe and shovel - the rest in the various storage compartments in the truck).

 

Doing what's right and providing life lessons!

Things I've learned today:
1. Water freezes
2. Water thaws
3. Share your fleshlight!

 

Per 3. Clean and share your fleshlight
