Survival Bags

[Toms01PSD]

Wow , I Never Felt So Normal.....

+1 no shit. I will admit though, I do usually carry my tools and spare fluids with me in the cab (oil,trans fluid, coolant, etc). I'm well equipped for fishing though, all that shit is in my toolbox.

I should really go through my toolbox and see what I need. I know I've got fire creating and extinguishing supplies, a hatchet, machete, saw, knives, boots, first aid kit, extra coat, flash lights, spare parts, and a ton of tools.

I would carry guns and alcohol like mentioned above but my club is extra anal about not allowing that stuff for whatever reason.

I also carry condoms just in case me and random woman #3 were eventually rescued.

FWIW, I put the alcohol in a one of those plastic water bottles (after drinking the water of course). I just made sure it's a different label than the ones I carry with water and nobody knows the difference. Vodka looks just like water and some rums are cear too.

I keep a small duffle with some clean clothes in each truck I'm driving. I also have a mil-spec grenade box that I keep my assortment of commonly used tools for my trucks (used the box cuz it's somewhat shallow and long enough for socket rails, plus waterproof) and a SAW ammo can with a 10' strap, 30' strap, large and small shackles, 2' length of 7/16" hardened chain with a couple different hooks for the ends, and an extra ratchet strap. Also have a fiberglass D-handled spade shovel and a hammer, plus two MRE's, couple bottles of water and a small bottle of alcohol (usually rum or vodka). And a first aid kit. Have a couple packs of those snack crackers in the glovebox, couple pairs of disposable gloves, sturdy fixed blade knife (of adequate size for gutting a deer), small handful of zip ties, and a compass. Under the seat there's a roll of TP in a ziploc bag, roll of duct tape, one of those thin divided boxes with some assorted fastners, bulbs and fuses, and some WD-40 or the like. Usually have a lighter and pack of matches on hand as well and a couple maps, and a camera goes nearly everywhere I go.

My work truck carries all that and enough tools to build a resort....

Is it just me. Or does most of this pertain to the if she says no category ...

I'm going to put a little notecard in my wallet incase I get in an accident and am unable to responde. It makes life easier for EMS and First Responders.

I was readin random article in the tech library, and noticed it was reccomemded to carry a blanket to absorb the shock of your winch line in case of failure. Not a bad Idea. An old greenw ool army blanket would be best, and semi water resistant.

I know it can be rough in such an intense situation. Sometimes people (myself included) put their cell phone in a cubby hole or cupholder and it goes flying when you get in an accident and it may not be found. Instead of my parents names, I put "mom" and "dad" in my phone book so they can easily be found in case were to happen. I'm just a bit disappointed in myself that I haven't done it already.

This is just for driving around or for your Camel Trophy team? Everyone seriously has all this stuff in their truck all the time?

You break down, jump out, set up a perimeter, put up your aluminm heat shelter, fill some sand bags, start digging a well, wire up some flash-bangs and a few Claymores, then call AAA and when the wrecker is 15 minutes out, pop smoke and start laying out suppressive fire while he hooks up. Then, you have the Sandys drop napalm while you bug out.

Isn't like a cellphone and an credit card enough for daily survival in the moderately developed parts of North America?
