Vehicle Kit

We won. And probably killed the thread. lol.

I have a GMC 2500 pickup so I can carry more than you. I have installed a metal toolbox which fits under my bi fold Aluminum cover for the bed top. The tool boxes come with a key lock which is the same for most so I replaced it with a combo lock. So I have double security, the aluminum cover is locked down so no one can see and the toolbox locks too. Inside I carry, jumper cables, toolbox, small sledge hammer, as, shovel, tow strap, saw, pick for general tools. There are several of the blue tarps. I carry two complete sets of clothing, heavy coat, and Gortex. I carry a cleaning kit for my guns, 250 rounds of 9mm, 45 Cal, 223, and 308 each. For shotgun I have 50 slugs, 50 buck and 100 #8. I also have 1000 22s. There is a breakdown 22 Ruger, and a Remington 870 shotgun. I also carry a tarp, water filter, 100 feet of climbing rope with beaners and 550 cord. I have five days of freeze dried Mountain house food. I have a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, and cook kit in an internal framed backpack. There is also a Colman lantern with a couple of bottles and additional mantles.

Inside the truck I general have at least five liters of water, junk food (granola bars and trail mix) which gets replaced regularly. There is trash bags, blanket, lite jacket, and another tool kit. Then I have a big first aid kit along with a small blow out kit which is with me whenever I am camping or shooting. Most of the time I carry two 9 mms, either Glocks or S&Ws with extra magazines and 200 rounds of ammo in a locked compartment. The glove compartment is full of the small stuff i.e. lighters, and knives, boo boo stuff.

It may sound like a lot but I go up to my property and work from the truck periodically. This gives it a test and allows for resupply when needed. It is a work in progress which I tweak all the time. When I travel up there I always have an AR or similar battle rifle and maybe a 357 revolver for snakes. Then there are the miscellaneous tools I bring up such as chainsaw, large sledge hammer with splitting malls etc.

Good start.

Think I need a bigger truck. 20 box truck maybe, with monster mudders of course.

It fits in an F250 with a shell...

[realist]

I think my biggest hole in my preps is the radio. I do have a license but no equipment. My goal is to correct it this winter. I have a bunch of research to do. I want a good base station and a separate good mobile.

[bacpacker]

What license class are you?

I run a Kenwood D700 in the Truck and at home. VHF/UHF w APRS built in. For HF I have a Gen 1 ICOM 706 that I can move back and forth. Hope to get my HF antenna mounted this fall/winter and get back on the air.
