Things you keep in your truck
#26
I keep as little as possible, I don't like a cluttered truck and I have road side assistance and free towing so I don't need tools locally (just enought to change a tire). I only have anything other than my Phone charger and some odds and ends in my truck. If I am taking a road trip, then all the normal emergency supplies. I don't feel the need to carry it around here, Where I am never more than 20 minutes away from help. If I break down on the freeway on the way to work, I'm getting it towed any way (not risking my life to work on the side of the road)

Zombie Bug Out Bag, which has:
1 set Patagonia Cap 3 long johns
1 pair of black Dickies
1 synthetic REI quarterzip longsleeve
1 hoodie
2 pairs of hiking socks
Water purification tabs
1 liter Nalgene bottle
Mechanix gloves
North Face glove liners
Leatherman multi-tool
100’ paracord
Surefire G2 flashlight
2 – 32 round Glock 18 mags
2 loaded AR-15 magazines
Basic First Aid kit
85 SPF sun block
Lip balm
Moleskin
Tigers hat
6x6 tarp
(I’m sure I’m forgetting some things)
Pelican case, which has:
6 loaded AR-15 magazines
2 boxes of 9mm WWB
10 boxes of .22LR
5 MREs
1 Gallon of distilled water
Basic 100 piece Craftsman tool kit
JB Weld
Duct Tape
Can of Fix-A-Flat
Tire Puncture Repair Kit
Assorted spare fuses and bulbs
4 ratcheting tie-down straps
Bungie cords
A pair of old boots and old jeans
jumper cables
iPod and CDs
And believe it or not, it’s all pretty organized and doesn’t take up that much space. The tool kit, pelican case and bugout bag all fit neatly behind the driver’s seat and only stand about 18” tall. The other random stuff is in the glove box or door pockets. There is still plenty of room for somebody to use the jumpseat on the passenger side.

Depends on where I'm going, for long trips and camping I bring some tools, shovel, sweatshirts, sleeping bag, inverter, 400 amp battery jumper, tow straps, saw, axe, first aid kit, etc. Around town, I keep it light with a few esentials like flashlight, rain poncho, gloves, water and a nice army blanket for those quick naps in the parking lot. If you travel much in cold weather I highly recommend you bring blankets, jackets, sleeping bags etc. Lots of bungie cords!
