Okay now to outline what the gear consists of since I know somebody will eventually ask.
The blue roll is just that. A foam sleeping pad.
In the orange sack is a change of clothes, a rain slicker and my sleeping bag.
The red bag contains all my dog gear. Leashes (standard6ft, slip, long line), harnesses (Search, car, hiking, cooling, ect.), collars (regular, training and light-up), food, water, treats, bowls, styptic powder, maps of training areas, and also my SAR uniform shirt and hat.
On top of the red bag are my three season gaiters. I have used them in the snow though and they did a wonderful job of keeping the snow out.
In the back of the bed is my spare tire and the dog crate that is used for emergencies only since my dog is scared out of her wits of the metal crates. Mind you, I have a plastic kennels fabric collapsible kennel, and a collapsible fabric exercise pen/crate and she does great in any of those. I just let her stay in the cab since she is smaller and wears a seatbelt harness and it also has climate control
.
The five gallon bucket has pencils, extra slip leads, batteries, eating utensils, my cooking stove and some tossed in. Also next to it is a gallon jug of water for refills or cooking.
Hanging next to the crate are two sets of jumper cables since I often need extra length when helping others. Below those I have a fifty foot length of 1/2" rope and an unknown length of 3/8".
Okay now for the black backpack. This is my 24hr search pack. It has the following as outlined in the requirements for the group I search with:

The red pouch on the side is my field trauma kit. I hope to never have to use it but it's there just in case. Also I carry two radios. A small FRS/GMRS radio and my ham handheld which also covers the FRS/GMRS frequencies.
If you feel I missed something or would like some more information just post away since somebody somewhere will most likely have the same question you have and that way I only have to answer it once.
