@@WeekendOverland i would add a couple tow chains a 2 or 4 ton come along winch, an old style bumper / farmers jack, a rem 870 or mossberg 500 folding stock with some less lethal rubber slugs, buckshot and some lethal loads, a military surplus 26.5 mm flare pistol and flares, water purifying pump kit, telescoping fishing rod with lures, a 3pc takedown recurve bow w/arrows, a small folding grappling hook with 550 paracord, that is some of what i keep in my jeep
Hi Mark. Thanks for watching and your comments. I actually do carry zip ties on my get home bag that stays in the truck but I may go ahead and put some more in my recovery case. thanks.
Hi Murph. Thanks for watching and your feedback. That has been a very popular request. I removed it a couple days following the release of this video. Thanks.
One may wish to stage the TQ so that it will be faster to secure around a leg or arm. Pull the strap out maximum slack. Take the lip that is marked with red and just barely close the lip over on the velcro. Then fold the excess back into he footprint of the TQ accordion-style and keep the timestamp strip folded back out of the way of the windlass. It'll save someone a few seconds in trying to get the thing around an arm or leg and less tedious too.
@@1911GreaterThanALL Thank you very much for your comment. Sounds like you may have trained people in this area. Your instruction was very good. In fact it compelled me to make the change immediately. Great instruction. Thanks again.
Nice set up! I would recommend unwrapping your tourniquet to make it more easily accessible in a stressful situation and to be sure it is properly set up for use. Some come from the factory disconnected so you would have to loop it through the connector. Several UA-cam videos on how to stage a CAT TQ.
@@WeekendOverland I was going to say the same thing. Also practice putting it on yourself and others. Have your wife practice putting it on you as well. Great vid, your Raptor is more dialed in than mine!
@@Sonic_fast22 thanks for watching. I have actually taken some trauma medical training since I published the video. I highly recommend it to everyone. But good point to help educate those around you whom you may need assistance.
Great setup! Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, but a small foldable solar panel could be a great addition to your recovery gear. Good way to charge your jump starter, comms, etc. if you lose your power out on the trail or anywhere else really
Hi N7_Forrest. Thanks for watching. Yes that would be a great addition. I have solar panels for my Jackery 1500 but do not carry them with me on a regular basis.
This is probably the best truck setup I have seen. I hate seeing the “Tacti-cool” truck setups that have “8 Ar15’s, 15 handguns, and 50,000 rounds of ammunition” and don’t have something simple like a car jack or a rain jacket. I have definitely had more flats and caught in the rain more than I have been in a gun fight
BC 556 Thanks for watching and your comments. You nailed it! When you start preparing your vehicle, home, etc, you should first focus on items that will assist you with events that are most likely to occur and then work from there. Thanks again.
@@WeekendOverland And BTW realities that when solved in earnest most likely keep you from needing to unholster, such as getting a flat tire in a lowly neighborhood. From the outside, it can seem that you carry "a lot of things +1" :D , but I gather that you made a whole outlook of your truck including non-EDC things. Actually a panoramic view of your truck, your preparedness, and your habits. We all tend to carry what has turned out to be useful. Geez you carry more knives and gloves than gas in the tank, but as you said, you can never carry too many of such :)
Oh, and a big metal spike to drive into the ground, to connect your Come-A-Long to in case there are no trees to connect to. 1" diameter and 3 feet long. That will get you unstuck. Also fire stuff in case you get stuck and have to spend the night.
Great set up….take the tourniquet out of the plastic and then reattach to the bag. If you ever need it you dont want to be fumbling with the manufacturer packaging before use.
@@WeekendOverland came here to say that! also a good idea to slide in a little sharpie in the loops where you secure it so you can quickly write the time of application to tell ems when they arrive
Great setup! Got some inspiration for my truck. The only suggestion I would have is on your med kit. Take the tourniquet out of the plastic wrap and stage it for use. (Qualification: I am a TCCC instructor). Nothing worse than having a severe bleed and can't get your TQ out of the wrapper.
I would recommend mounting a tourniquet within easy access to the driver’s seat in the event of an arterial bleed. Having one of these accessible and not flying around the cab in the event of an accident could be the difference between life and death. A femoral bleed is a treat now or die situation. You are very organized!
Thanks for watching and your feedback. Very good point. If you are involved in a wreck and no one there to help you, the contents in your vehicle could be in total disarray......
Excellent vehicle equipment. I have an F-350 so similar interior storage. Under my back seat in the factory tray I keep my truck gun chained up with a plastic covered bicycle chain and the seat down locked. I have a camper top so I carry 95% of my stuff in the bed. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Michael. So many uses for that space under the back seat. I am constantly thinking of other ways to use that space. Camper tops definitely open up a lot of useable space!
Great setup. I’m sure it’s been mentioned, but I would suggest a second tourniquet in the front within reach. Also I would pull them out of the plastic. Have them ready if needed.
that’s awesome! all that velcro stuff going on under the seat is so cool. and that console mount. Wish they made cool stuff like this for my 05 Silverado.
"watch caps" or collapsible hats depending on if you are in either hot or cold weather areas. That is something I forget if I end up going for a "drive" unexpectedly
Great video! Love your setup! As a Paramedic I would recommend taking out the CAT tourniquet out of the wrapping, if you need it in a stressful situation it can be hard to take out of the packaging, tourniquets don’t need to be sterile as they are not supposed to go on the actual wound!
Hi Emanuel. Thanks for watching. I actually removed the plastic about a week after publishing the video. I have also since taken a Trauma med course and highly recommend it!
Great video! I just stumbled onto this. You should definitely have more subscribers. I thought I was watching and listening to a seasoned you tuber. The only thing I would add, and maybe I missed it, is a backpack in case you needed to ditch the vehicle and take a few things with you.
Hi Thomas. Thanks for the feedback. I started the channel about 3 months ago and haven't really reach out much through social media. It is starting to gain momentum. Looking forward to creating more videos. Thanks for watching. BTW, I do mention a backpack (get home bag) and have a full review as well.
Just some quick advice in terms of medical. Id recommend taking the plastic wrap off of your tourniquet and any other life saving items that don't need to be sterile . Hopefully the situation may never come but if you need it, the added stress of taking the plastic off as well as setting it up could prove to be challenge in those situations. Seconds make a huge difference. Sick set up though! Always nice to see an organized and well thought out build.
Hi Andrew. Thanks for watching! I actually took the tourniquet out of the plastic a few days after I published the video. I also have now taken some Medical Trauma training (which I highly recommend to everyone). Thanks for taking the time to comment. Take care!
Alright I’ve now watched all your videos. Love the gear, love the high quality aspect and that everything is sturdy, organized and just great ideas. Need more information on the water port and how you have that installed.
Hi Michael, thanks for watching! I have had the Waterport (thewaterport.com/build-a-tank/) for a couple of years so I am not sure what bracketry now comes with the unit. Mine came with both a hitch mount and a flat surface - rail mount (looks like those are now purchased separately). Mine is mounted to the Biltright panels I installed in the sides of the bed builtrightind.com/collections/bedside-rack-systems So far I have had no problems with the unit.
BTW the rail mount (at least the one I have) comes in 2 parts, allowing you to simply lift the unit out of the mount when needed and has a place to insert a padlock for security when mounted.
I would also recommend a water filter, either for personal use (straw) or the bladder with filter. Water bottles are great, but you will run out if unlucky. Water filters are cheap at the moment, and they are great to have if you need to use a stream or something..
Nice set up! I’ve put Molle panels behind my rear seats. Great for mounting tools and stuff. I did Molle in the center console and on both driver/passenger side did Molle panels. I have a lot of what you have. Like minded people!! Although where I live. It’s too hot for water to be kept in the truck. It’s 120 in the summer!
Nice setup, I always have several fire starting equip not only I smoke but I do need to set up a camp fire or light the grill quite often. It’s always good to have some extra bic around. I also have an extra bag of dog food and treats just in case my dog and I have to stay outside longer.
Hi David. Thanks for watching. Very good suggestions. Can't have enough lighters for sure. I do have a dedicated pouch for dog treats but need to include a spare leash as well.
Sweet setup, cool truck! Gave me some good ideas for my vehicle! I’d consider adding some spare dog leashes for your dogs, some road maps and a spare quart of engine oil just in case you need to top that off! And I’d suggest keeping a smaller pair of binos in the center console of your truck for quick access, just in case you see some wildlife and don’t have time to reach back and grab your Sigs. Thanks for sharing!
Nice gear and awesome mounting options. As I start to carry more stuff in my Jeep, I'm always of stuff being rattling around from my subwoofer, so always looking into secure and dampened mounting options. Gonna take a look at that tool bag you've got as that would save a lot of spaces that's taken up in hardcases for me. My favorite mod of yours is that holster setup. I've been playing around with some center console options and so far like have my gun in its CCW holster, but don't like that it's basically a two handed draw as it isn't attached to anything. Looks like I can use a modified version of your setup to fix that, so thanks for sharing!
Hi Artro. Thanks for watching and your feedback. Yes there are pros and cons to the way I have mine mounted. Like using a safety (which I do not) you have to train on what has to occur when the need arises. I have trained quite a bit and feel that if ever the time comes that I need to draw from the center console quickly, my stress level will probably be very high, and this is when mistakes can be made. Keeping the holster with the weapon until it is in a more manageable position is my preference. Drawing in a vehicle is much more challenging than drawing from a holster on your side. But everyone has to find what works for them. Good luck and be safe.
Tourniquets!!! Not sure if it was said already, but I’d recommend one in each door pocket, properly prepped. Of course, learn how to properly use them and teach your family.
Plastic was remove a few days after the video was published. I have since taken training in medical trauma which I highly recommend for everyone. Thanks for watching!
Bug spray, sunblock, and some extra deodorant are always nice to keep on hand. Most of the time my wife forgets one so it’s nice just having it in the truck and not having to run to the store or stop to get it when you’re trying to get to your destination.
In addition, I always keep wasp spray in my bed mounted box but my rig doubles as a farm truck so you may not have a problem with the flying devils like I do. You could use it to spray protestors just for fun though. :)
Great vid! I was thinking of getting that dash mounting kit, now I just might. I keep my seatbelt cutter on my visor where I can access it in the event on an accident
Sounds like you need to move, I have $2000 in radios in my truck and rarely do I even feel the need to lock it. My father has always just left the key in the ignition and it's never proven a problem.
One thing you can consider is a pair or rubber type surf or creek water slipper. Usually find them is the spring in sports shops. They are light and can be worn at the end of the day or when you want a moccasin type footwear. With a pair of socks, great for a quick camp or yard wear. Good driving moms as well. Keep them in goals and vehicles.
Hi Racker. Thanks for watching. Good idea. I have water shoes for hiking / camping but do not normally have them in the truck all of the time but would be a good addition. Thanks.
Well, somebody finally brought up the elephant in the room lol. It’s awesome that some of you take being prepared seriously but some of the people in these communities crack me the hell up 😂🤣 your among one of the few who actually show some useful things 👍 It’s taken several years of responding to enough emergencies that you start to ditch the ridiculous or expensive gear and go back to basics. Especially when you buy the high dollar 💵 gear but the emergency is no where near your gear and you have to get creative like making a make shift tourniquet with a spare t-shirt and tightening it down with a stick or screwdriver🪛. I’ve used more rolls of paper towels or bath towels to slow or stop massive bleeding 🩸 because it was quicker and just as effective and getting patient packaged transported ASAP was more important then putting a pretty bow on it. Remember: Men of action have been responding to emergencies long before Molle webbing, YKk zippers, piss filtration straws, and whatever other goofie 💩 people are packing now in days. Don’t be that guy who has everything in their vehicle to fight a small war but can’t tighten down a screw or do some other basic task because your waifu pretend gf can and will bang the guy you call to come fix the sink 🚰 because you know everything about a weapon system but not her plumbing 😉 And for all the Toilet paper 🧻 hoarding of 2020 you would think more people would show a roll.
HM thanks for watching and your comments. I agree training is key in medical, firearms, etc. Within a budget, you should spend about 75% on training and the remainder on gear.
Got a 2000 ford excursion that I'm getting ready to build. I really like all of the mounting systems you have. I live on the coast so I'll be adding a dive mask and spare air dive bottle. Had a good friend that watched a car drive off the hwy into a water canal...right in front of him. He immediately stopped and dove into help. The car went down while he and the driver were still in the car. The canal was 20 ft deep. He made it back out but sadly he could not get the driver out and she passed away. This is why I plan on having the dive mask and spare air dive bottle.
Hi James. Thanks for your comment. Very sad but glad it has influenced you to prepare accordingly. I think everybody's setup should be what they feel is best for them. Glad you are putting a lot of thought into your setup.
Got some good things going on there. I would suggest highlighting your holster set up in the truck and on the bike that you get some training with your blow out kit and make sure it has everything you need to stop the bleed. Tourniquet should open and staged so if you need to use it on yourself...usually one handed you don’t bleed out before you it get it out of the plastic wrapper.
Michael, Thanks for your comments. Yes the wrapper has been removed from the tourniquet. I will be taking some med training in the next 60 days. I do plan to take a deeper dive with some of these products in the near future. Thanks again for your interest in the channel.
Hey brother. Just a suggestion. I’m an emt with an emergency service. I suggest taking your tourniquets out of the plastic. If you get blood on your hands they are almost impossible to open if the plastic is on them. Speaking from experience. Amazing video and awesome truck setup!
Hi Woogie, thanks for watching. I actually removed the plastic soon after the video was published (rookie mistake on the plastic). I have sense taken a trauma med training class that was great. Thanks again for your input!
Not disagreeing but as I have worked outside in the most extreme temps of the western desert most of my adult life it isn't hurting anything. Our water cans sat on the rigs for days. Yeah it's hot/warm whatever but your body will absorb it faster. Im certain he rotates the water too.
Got some great ideas for my rig! Thanks for the walk through! Something you might consider: take the plastic wrap off of your TQ. Last thing you want to be doing if you ever have to use that thing is be fumbling around with that wrapper.
Hi Motoscout. Thanks for watching and your comments. The TQ was actually taken out of the plastic shortly after the video was published but YT will not allow edits. Glad I was able to help you with your set up. Good luck!
I was preparing a backpack that has all the necessary equipments for any potential risk/threat in an urban environment, i live in istanbul as foreigner and couple of months later i will be visiting all major European cities, i prepared a mini pharmacy, 20,000 powerbank, all tech equipments, fast, accessible, and legal self-defense knife and pepper sprey, and countless other utilities, still i need a gps tracker to insert it to the bag (i am not sure if you do have a gps tracker for the truck but such a small device inserted to your truck can increase the security of the property from being stolen or lost) the bag shouldn’t exceed 12 kg and it actually looks cool from outside, obviously a backpack is nothing compared to a truck 😅 but i ended up watching your video when it was recommended to me and subscribing to the channel, great work ✊🏻🔥
Hi Shamy. Thanks for watching and subscribing! I am planning to do another video soon on changes I have made to my setup. Sounds like you are definitely on the right track and 12kg is a good weight (especially if that includes water). In regard to GPS, I do not have one in my bag but my truck came equipped with one that works through an app.
Really nice setup. Not exactly the way I have my truck but some similarities. A useful pouch suggestion for you that I use is the maxpedition accordion pouch using two nylon straps (cheap sleeping bag attachment straps) to attach it to the back of the drivers seat headrest. Also the Tasmanian tiger headrest ifak for the riders side headrest is really handy and useful, especially if you need to reach it from the drivers seat! Glad you are wanting to get some emergency medical training. Having med gear and looking for someone who knows how to use it in an emergency is like having a pistol on you and looking for someone who knows how to shoot it in an active shooter situation.
hey just saw this but...that tourniquet. Take the Velcro zip ties off of it and and use heavy duty rubber bands. Your setup is just not fast enough to release. You need to be able to secure it but also be able to rip it free instantly if you need it. remember, 40 seconds. every second counts.
Hi Weekend, I picked up a couple of small Harbor Freight tarps in case of a flat. I keep them behind the back portion of the back seat. It will give me something to kneel on and something to put my dirty flat tire on when I put it in the back of my truck, to help keep me clean when working and the back of my truck clean with the dirty spare in it. Also I picked up some interesting temporary tire chains that are made to go on rims like ZIP TIES.
I hope you have a great alarm system with all that nice gear in that truck! I understand being prepared, but wow that’s a lot of stuff. But awesome setup and rig buddy 👍🏽
Thanks for watching Jason. Yes the truck has a very good alarm system but I also try to limit time in undesired areas. Sometimes we do not have a choice and have to take a chance. I would rather be prepared and have to replace items if stolen than to not have them at all. Glad you liked the video.
Great video! Thank you for making it and sharing your gear. 1 thing I have been thinking about a lot lately is a water filtration/purification supplies.
Thanks for watching Jeremister. I haven't gotten very deep in water filtration. I have a few Sawyer filter systems I use for hiking / tent & hammock camping. In this video I discuss the water systems I currently use: ua-cam.com/video/ecaxF_mOqNw/v-deo.html I am considering a system that incorporates a filter with a 20L can made by Life Saver. It is a little pricey at $300 (which is why I haven't purchased one yet).
Thank you for sharing your set up with your gear. I agree that the fire extinguisher needs to be more accessible somewhere close to the driver's seat. I do recommend that having your recovery gear more accessible if you plan on getting on trails that may leave your Raptor in precarious positions. I've learned my lesson. I must have missed what you have in your edc bag. It seems like a lot of this gear could be stored in your edc bag. I also noticed that your have a lot of knives and flashlights but no spare parts for your vehicle. At the very least you should be packing spare belts, hoses, clamps, oil, air filter, etc. Anyway, thank you for your video and stay safe on the trails.
Hi Stephen. Thanks for watching and your feedback. Yes totally agree regarding spares (especially if you are traveling in remote destinations). Like many others, my setup is constantly changing. I need to produce an updated video.
Beautiful house and beautiful truck , you remind me of my uncle . I hope to be successful like this one day , I work every day twords it and my wife and I are doing really good right now , I see us being successful soon .
Great setup! 1 piece of advice.. take the tourniquet out of the plastic and have it looped through ready to use. If your hands have blood all over them that plastic is just another obstacle to get through.
Hi Trip, Thanks for watching. I actually removed the plastic a week after I made the video. I also took some trauma training which I would recommend to anyone who hasn't done so.
AWESOME setup, this just popped up on my FYP. I know it is a couple of years old, you may have addressed this in future vids. please get some first responder type training. You should carry at at all times a tourniquet with your pew-pew, and know how to use it correctly. Only other issue I see is the Fire Extinguisher should be in the cab for quicker access. I carry 3 and 2 of them are twice that size in case I need to assist at a car accident, (not a firefighter just a citizen). Otherwise GREAT setup!!!!
Hey brother, great video and one thing comes to mind that is very small but very valuable to add is a Knipix Twin Key. Not only will it help you access H2O from buildings but it also has assorted keys used for accessing rooms/cages like electrical or plumbing or gas. The types of keys a janitor might carry or someone with building/plant maintenance.... perhaps this will help you. All the best.............. MP
Nice! I would only take the seatbelt cutter and move it to some place that is easier to reach. If you ever need a seatbelt cuter, your car is not going to be in the best condition.
The holster setup has positive attributes but, what if your weak arm is busy fending off someone grappling you as you are getting in/out? Or want to access the pistol while you're steering with your weak hand? Pulling the holster with the gun makes it inaccessible if you only have tbe one hand available. Instead, maybe train to keep your booger-hook off the bang switch as you draw? Good setup 👍
I know this is super old but if you haven’t already go pickup a bag of different size zip ties that are always super handy for tons of things. I’d say you already do have them but if not definitely worth having. Definitely like your setup
@@WeekendOverland oh yes sir! I had thought heck I’ll go ahead and comment on it even though it’s a year old and you had probably done added a lot more item’s. Maybe do another kinda update video and I’ll definitely add too things you might be interested in adding too your setup!
@@triplehfarmsllc7348 yes I have been considering an update. As you know, set ups like this are always evolving. Input from viewers like you is what makes the evolution happen and everybody benefits. Thanks again for taking the time to comment .......... I look forward to more input in the future!
Hi Dan. Thanks for watching. I hope I have given you some ideas for your set up. I am working on a few more mods to the truck and will share it in a video soon.
I got some inspiration for my truck! I’d suggest that you need to take the cat out of the package. (I’m a certified paramedic and ems instructor, TCCC certified) most people buy tourniquets and leave them in the package. I got a lot of tourniquets all over my truck one on my ifak and one in each door so if I’m in a wreck any passengers and myself have access to one for any injuries.
Hi Cory. Thanks for watching. Yes good catch. I actually took it out of the wrapper about 1 week after the video was published. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I know this is an old video but I’d suggest taking that tourniquet out of the wrapping. In a stressful situation you’d be surprised how hard it is to do something as simple as opening a wrapper. Plus it’s just faster without it.
I love the setup. You gave me so many ideas. Unfortunately, my mega-cab 2500 won’t fit in my garage so I have a high end after market alarm system and a dedicated camera on my truck in the driveway. I keep everything in a few unassuming bags and load them as I need for trips to the range or out of town and even local errands. I put a console safe custom fitted for my truck in it and it’s perfect. A DiamondBack cover is on the bed and it’s additional security as well.
Hi Ken. Thanks for watching and your feedback! I definitely understand. My truck only has about 12" to spare while in the garage. I am fortunate in that I work from home so the amount of time my truck spends outside of the garage is less than most people. I have considered a console safe and probably should since I carry in the truck. Absolutely love my Diamond back cover and wish I had bought it sooner. I have a few videos on it as well.
@@WeekendOverland Thank you for responding!!! Yes those covers are the best!!! The safe is by Locker Down and it’s great for keeping stuff when you can’t or don’t want to lug everything around. Let’s face it…if they take the truck…fine I’ll upgrade…if they have all day they can defeat the bed cover and the safe but like you, I work from home and stay up late. If you are STUPID you’ll come to the house lit up like a Nuclear Site or Federal Prison and tamper with my truck…in my house there is a total of 50+ years of law enforcement between myself, my son and my wife…good luck!!! Be safe and I’m going to subscribe if I didn’t already and check your other videos out!
@@klj5150 First of all, thanks to your family for your service. I am with you regarding your mindset, if you take it, it can be replaced ...... just don't do it while on my property!! Have a good one and thanks for subscribing! More to come....
Thank you for putting this video together. Have been adding to my notes as I watch how you have stocked your truck. Maybe I missed it, but if not, do you have an extra pair of sun glasses in there? Or even some clear lens safety glasses? Thay can both come in super handy and dont take up any space.
Im pretty late to this video, but i learned quite a bit. when i pay some home improvement debt off ill get a truck. I suggest taking the Tourniquet out of the plastic and have pre-staged. it would be much easier and faster to apply when you do that
Plastic was remove a few days after the video was published. I have since taken training in medical trauma which I highly recommend for everyone. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the walk through, thx. I really need to get my act together and organize my truck. Makes no sense having everything you need but not where you actually need it. Organization is key! 👍
I know I'm coming in late with this comment, but you mentioned taking a course on medical care. I highly recommend a CPR class of some sort, and then take a "STOP THE BLEED" course as well. That will go over tourniquets, GSW's, and other types of major injuries and where they could happen on the body. It'll really open your eyes to the potential life-saving measures that you can take to save someone. Or, you can teach someone to save you! Hope this helps!
I'd love to have a setup like that especially having a truck gun. However I drive to Canada alot, so its probably not a good idea too keep any kinds of weapons in the vehicle.
You asked for suggestions, so here goes. Come-a-long to get unstuck. High Lift Jack, invaluable. Axe, small and large. Tow strap and chain to reach that tree to connect to the Come-along to get you unstuck. That is based upon my got stuck experience. Also, imagine driving into the forest, then while driving out a tree fell across the road. Hence the axes and saws, which you have. Just saying.
Hi Kent. Thanks for watching and your suggestions. I would love to mount a winch but in the meantime a come-a-long would be a great addition. I also need a High Lift Jack. I do have both an axe, hatchet, and tow strap. Good info Kent. Thanks.
I’m curious how you’d need to change in a more hot or cold climate. In the US south we can’t really keep a lot of stuff in our cars because they will get damaged by the heat. I’m sure there are other considerations for freezing weather. Great looking set up, looks very functional. Goals!
Hi T Austin. Thanks for watching. I agree that in the south our biggest challenge is typically the summer heat. I've started storing water in aluminum containers instead of plastic, medication should be cycled, and probably ammo as well. In the winter, I really do not make any accommodations other revising my stored clothing and shoes to accommodate the low temps.
@@WeekendOverland I didn’t even think about medicine! Yes, things just get damaged over time. It would be tough to make a set it and forget it kind of set up. I’m trying to create a first aid kit that can survive the summer and it’s not easy. Any tips from your experience?
@@treaustin1 I have a trauma IFAK that I keep in my truck at all times. I am fortunate that I do not require any prescription meds so the only meds I keep in the car are Benadryl and Aleve. Therefore the degradation isn't a big deal. I haven't researched extensively but have yet to find a good way to store meds in a hot vehicle.
I have the Leatherman raptor rescue scissors. Also has a glass breaker seatbelt cutter and ring cutter. I need a couple more for both vehicles and my gear
Awesome video! Gave me lots of great ideas for my own truck. My only suggestion would be to please take the plastic off that TQ and prep it properly. Coming from a place of love, not criticism I promise lol. Much love brother
Thanks for watching and glad you liked the video. I actually removed the plastic a few days after the video went out. I have since taken some medical trauma classes and now know what an oversight that was...... Thanks.
Hi Zach. Thanks for watching and your service. You are correct! this thing would be hard pressed to perform like a real shovel. I actually have a shove that I sometimes keep in the truck with about a half length handle. Still deciding on the best mount.
Hi Jason. Thanks for watching and your response. I like to be transparent and let everyone know what my experiences are while at the same time being open minded to change based on feedback.
Hi Jason. Thanks for watching. That floor mat actually came with the truck from Ford. I must say that they did a good job with it. It is thick and very durable. Have no idea the cost but should be available through Ford.
Rain jacket “I always keep two, in case my wife forgets hers, and HAS to use mine.” A very wise man.

Impressive setup! Thanks for sharing. Only thing I saw missing: zip ties. Get a bunch of assorted sizes they take up no space and can super useful.
Hi Mark. Thanks for watching and your comments. I actually do carry zip ties on my get home bag that stays in the truck but I may go ahead and put some more in my recovery case. thanks.
Take your tourniquet out of the wrapper. Don't want to be struggling to get it out when you need it.
Hi Murph. Thanks for watching and your feedback. That has been a very popular request. I removed it a couple days following the release of this video. Thanks.
One may wish to stage the TQ so that it will be faster to secure around a leg or arm. Pull the strap out maximum slack. Take the lip that is marked with red and just barely close the lip over on the velcro. Then fold the excess back into he footprint of the TQ accordion-style and keep the timestamp strip folded back out of the way of the windlass. It'll save someone a few seconds in trying to get the thing around an arm or leg and less tedious too.
@@1911GreaterThanALL Thank you very much for your comment. Sounds like you may have trained people in this area. Your instruction was very good. In fact it compelled me to make the change immediately. Great instruction. Thanks again.
@@WeekendOverland Welcome
no, that is bad luck, don't do it
Nice set up! I would recommend unwrapping your tourniquet to make it more easily accessible in a stressful situation and to be sure it is properly set up for use. Some come from the factory disconnected so you would have to loop it through the connector. Several UA-cam videos on how to stage a CAT TQ.
Hi Aaron. Thanks for the feedback. I actually took the tourniquet out of the wrapper about 1 week after publishing the video. Thanks for watching.
@@WeekendOverland I was going to say the same thing. Also practice putting it on yourself and others. Have your wife practice putting it on you as well. Great vid, your Raptor is more dialed in than mine!
@@Sonic_fast22 thanks for watching. I have actually taken some trauma medical training since I published the video. I highly recommend it to everyone. But good point to help educate those around you whom you may need assistance.
Great setup! Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, but a small foldable solar panel could be a great addition to your recovery gear. Good way to charge your jump starter, comms, etc. if you lose your power out on the trail or anywhere else really
Hi N7_Forrest. Thanks for watching. Yes that would be a great addition. I have solar panels for my Jackery 1500 but do not carry them with me on a regular basis.
This is probably the best truck setup I have seen. I hate seeing the “Tacti-cool” truck setups that have “8 Ar15’s, 15 handguns, and 50,000 rounds of ammunition” and don’t have something simple like a car jack or a rain jacket. I have definitely had more flats and caught in the rain more than I have been in a gun fight
BC 556 Thanks for watching and your comments. You nailed it! When you start preparing your vehicle, home, etc, you should first focus on items that will assist you with events that are most likely to occur and then work from there. Thanks again.
@@WeekendOverland And BTW realities that when solved in earnest most likely keep you from needing to unholster, such as getting a flat tire in a lowly neighborhood.
From the outside, it can seem that you carry "a lot of things +1" :D , but I gather that you made a whole outlook of your truck including non-EDC things. Actually a panoramic view of your truck, your preparedness, and your habits. We all tend to carry what has turned out to be useful. Geez you carry more knives and gloves than gas in the tank, but as you said, you can never carry too many of such :)
You certainly have ALL the accessories. And the all look brand new. Good luck to ya. It's good to be prepared.
thanks for watching CherryCoke! I did purchase some new items instead of taking from my shop.
Oh, and a big metal spike to drive into the ground, to connect your Come-A-Long to in case there are no trees to connect to. 1" diameter and 3 feet long. That will get you unstuck. Also fire stuff in case you get stuck and have to spend the night.
Great set up….take the tourniquet out of the plastic and then reattach to the bag. If you ever need it you dont want to be fumbling with the manufacturer packaging before use.
Thanks Justin. I have removed the wrapping.
@@WeekendOverland came here to say that! also a good idea to slide in a little sharpie in the loops where you secure it so you can quickly write the time of application to tell ems when they arrive
@@brrrrrrrrrruce very good idea Bruce. Thanks for sharing.
@@WeekendOverland the experts are now saying to keep it in the wrapper to keep it from degrading.
Great setup! Got some inspiration for my truck. The only suggestion I would have is on your med kit. Take the tourniquet out of the plastic wrap and stage it for use. (Qualification: I am a TCCC instructor). Nothing worse than having a severe bleed and can't get your TQ out of the wrapper.
Thanks for the input. I took it out. Now I need to get some additional training in order to be prepared to best use the IFAK.
@@WeekendOverland take a TCCC or TECC class! As a civvie, I did and leaned a ton.
@@smportis yes I plan to very soon. Looking forward to it. Thanks for watching!
@@WeekendOverland check out refuge training and refuge medical. They have their own websites with information about their gear and their training.
@@lswisher13 thanks for the info!
Nice setup, I like the gear but I personally don’t like keeping valuable stuff in my vehicles long term.
EP I definitely understand. Its is totally a judgement call.
I would invest in a center console safe. I have one for my tundra. But like you said it is totally a judgment call
@@xaviermachuga I am considering a console safe. I think it would be a good investment. Thanks
I would recommend mounting a tourniquet within easy access to the driver’s seat in the event of an arterial bleed. Having one of these accessible and not flying around the cab in the event of an accident could be the difference between life and death. A femoral bleed is a treat now or die situation. You are very organized!
Thanks for watching and your feedback. Very good point. If you are involved in a wreck and no one there to help you, the contents in your vehicle could be in total disarray......
Excellent vehicle equipment. I have an F-350 so similar interior storage. Under my back seat in the factory tray I keep my truck gun chained up with a plastic covered bicycle chain and the seat down locked. I have a camper top so I carry 95% of my stuff in the bed.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Michael. So many uses for that space under the back seat. I am constantly thinking of other ways to use that space. Camper tops definitely open up a lot of useable space!
Great setup! One of the best vehicle EDC videos I watched, and I have watched more than my fair share!
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Great setup. I’m sure it’s been mentioned, but I would suggest a second tourniquet in the front within reach. Also I would pull them out of the plastic. Have them ready if needed.
Thanks for watching. TQ in the front is a good idea. and yes I took the plastic off soon after the video was published. Thanks.
that’s awesome! all that velcro stuff going on under the seat is so cool. and that console mount. Wish they made cool stuff like this for my 05 Silverado.
Thanks Justin. Yes, the loop material under the seat is very convenient.
They don’t make anything like that for my truck.I’ve watched a lot of vids took a lot of ideas and made my own system.
@@WeekendOverland Does that come on the raptors, or is it something you added?
@@driller6801 Yes it came standard on the Raptor.
@@WeekendOverland Gotcha. Thanks.
"watch caps" or collapsible hats depending on if you are in either hot or cold weather areas. That is something I forget if I end up going for a "drive" unexpectedly
The organization in your garage is impeccable🔥
Thanks Zay!
Great video! Love your setup! As a Paramedic I would recommend taking out the CAT tourniquet out of the wrapping, if you need it in a stressful situation it can be hard to take out of the packaging, tourniquets don’t need to be sterile as they are not supposed to go on the actual wound!
Hi Emanuel. Thanks for watching. I actually removed the plastic about a week after publishing the video. I have also since taken a Trauma med course and highly recommend it!
Great video! I just stumbled onto this. You should definitely have more subscribers. I thought I was watching and listening to a seasoned you tuber.
The only thing I would add, and maybe I missed it, is a backpack in case you needed to ditch the vehicle and take a few things with you.
Hi Thomas. Thanks for the feedback. I started the channel about 3 months ago and haven't really reach out much through social media. It is starting to gain momentum. Looking forward to creating more videos. Thanks for watching. BTW, I do mention a backpack (get home bag) and have a full review as well.
Just some quick advice in terms of medical. Id recommend taking the plastic wrap off of your tourniquet and any other life saving items that don't need to be sterile . Hopefully the situation may never come but if you need it, the added stress of taking the plastic off as well as setting it up could prove to be challenge in those situations. Seconds make a huge difference. Sick set up though! Always nice to see an organized and well thought out build.
Hi Andrew. Thanks for watching! I actually took the tourniquet out of the plastic a few days after I published the video. I also have now taken some Medical Trauma training (which I highly recommend to everyone). Thanks for taking the time to comment. Take care!
Alright I’ve now watched all your videos. Love the gear, love the high quality aspect and that everything is sturdy, organized and just great ideas. Need more information on the water port and how you have that installed.
Hi Michael, thanks for watching! I have had the Waterport (thewaterport.com/build-a-tank/) for a couple of years so I am not sure what bracketry now comes with the unit. Mine came with both a hitch mount and a flat surface - rail mount (looks like those are now purchased separately). Mine is mounted to the Biltright panels I installed in the sides of the bed builtrightind.com/collections/bedside-rack-systems
So far I have had no problems with the unit.
BTW the rail mount (at least the one I have) comes in 2 parts, allowing you to simply lift the unit out of the mount when needed and has a place to insert a padlock for security when mounted.
I would also recommend a water filter, either for personal use (straw) or the bladder with filter. Water bottles are great, but you will run out if unlucky. Water filters are cheap at the moment, and they are great to have if you need to use a stream or something..
Espen, thanks for your feedback. I actually do carry a Sawyer Mini in my get home bag. You are right, this is a must when becoming better prepared.
Nice set up! I’ve put Molle panels behind my rear seats. Great for mounting tools and stuff. I did Molle in the center console and on both driver/passenger side did Molle panels. I have a lot of what you have. Like minded people!! Although where I live. It’s too hot for water to be kept in the truck. It’s 120 in the summer!
Thanks for watching Robert! Yes, we are starting to approach 90 degree days and the water will be transferred into a different container.
Nice setup, I always have several fire starting equip not only I smoke but I do need to set up a camp fire or light the grill quite often. It’s always good to have some extra bic around. I also have an extra bag of dog food and treats just in case my dog and I have to stay outside longer.
Hi David. Thanks for watching. Very good suggestions. Can't have enough lighters for sure. I do have a dedicated pouch for dog treats but need to include a spare leash as well.
Oh no not in a Ford! They’re so easy to break into. I’ve had mines broken into twice. Demolition Ranch can attest to it too.
What do you recommend?
Sweet setup, cool truck! Gave me some good ideas for my vehicle! I’d consider adding some spare dog leashes for your dogs, some road maps and a spare quart of engine oil just in case you need to top that off! And I’d suggest keeping a smaller pair of binos in the center console of your truck for quick access, just in case you see some wildlife and don’t have time to reach back and grab your Sigs. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Cole and for the great suggestions.
I have the same truck and this gives me some good inspiration for my truck edc. Great video. Those pressurized water tanks are a game changer👍
Mossberg Shockwave 12ga would be a nice addition ;)
hahahhahaha
Yes a 12 ga is always a good addition!!
That Shockwave is my exact setup.
Or a ar pistol... but yeah in my opinion and sorry to be noisy.. but yeah a shotgun will be a plus too
@@Ghostpr787 self defense of any kind is better than nothing. Key to firearms is to be trained and practice good safety.
Lots of fun to have everything you need at point of use but how do you stop theives from smash and grab?
Thanks for watching! I guess I am fortunate that I have never had any vehicle ever broken into.
Nice gear and awesome mounting options. As I start to carry more stuff in my Jeep, I'm always of stuff being rattling around from my subwoofer, so always looking into secure and dampened mounting options. Gonna take a look at that tool bag you've got as that would save a lot of spaces that's taken up in hardcases for me.
My favorite mod of yours is that holster setup. I've been playing around with some center console options and so far like have my gun in its CCW holster, but don't like that it's basically a two handed draw as it isn't attached to anything. Looks like I can use a modified version of your setup to fix that, so thanks for sharing!
Hi Artro. Thanks for watching and your feedback. Yes there are pros and cons to the way I have mine mounted. Like using a safety (which I do not) you have to train on what has to occur when the need arises. I have trained quite a bit and feel that if ever the time comes that I need to draw from the center console quickly, my stress level will probably be very high, and this is when mistakes can be made. Keeping the holster with the weapon until it is in a more manageable position is my preference. Drawing in a vehicle is much more challenging than drawing from a holster on your side. But everyone has to find what works for them. Good luck and be safe.
Tourniquets!!! Not sure if it was said already, but I’d recommend one in each door pocket, properly prepped. Of course, learn how to properly use them and teach your family.
Plastic was remove a few days after the video was published. I have since taken training in medical trauma which I highly recommend for everyone. Thanks for watching!
Bug spray, sunblock, and some extra deodorant are always nice to keep on hand. Most of the time my wife forgets one so it’s nice just having it in the truck and not having to run to the store or stop to get it when you’re trying to get to your destination.
Hi Nick, good point. Thanks for the feedback!
In addition, I always keep wasp spray in my bed mounted box but my rig doubles as a farm truck so you may not have a problem with the flying devils like I do. You could use it to spray protestors just for fun though. :)
Great vid! I was thinking of getting that dash mounting kit, now I just might. I keep my seatbelt cutter on my visor where I can access it in the event on an accident
Sounds good Andrew. Thanks for watching.
Lucky no one broke into the truck and steal them. Any bag in an unattended is an opportunity to break in.
Sounds like you need to move, I have $2000 in radios in my truck and rarely do I even feel the need to lock it. My father has always just left the key in the ignition and it's never proven a problem.
Luckily a plane didn't crash on his head while he was filming too.
One thing you can consider is a pair or rubber type surf or creek water slipper. Usually find them is the spring in sports shops. They are light and can be worn at the end of the day or when you want a moccasin type footwear. With a pair of socks, great for a quick camp or yard wear. Good driving moms as well. Keep them in goals and vehicles.
Hi Racker. Thanks for watching. Good idea. I have water shoes for hiking / camping but do not normally have them in the truck all of the time but would be a good addition. Thanks.
Well, somebody finally brought up the elephant in the room lol.
It’s awesome that some of you take being prepared seriously but some of the people in these communities crack me the hell up 😂🤣 your among one of the few who actually show some useful things 👍
It’s taken several years of responding to enough emergencies that you start to ditch the ridiculous or expensive gear and go back to basics.
Especially when you buy the high dollar 💵 gear but the emergency is no where near your gear and you have to get creative like making a make shift tourniquet with a spare t-shirt and tightening it down with a stick or screwdriver🪛.
I’ve used more rolls of paper towels or bath towels to slow or stop massive bleeding 🩸 because it was quicker and just as effective and getting patient packaged transported ASAP was more important then putting a pretty bow on it.
Remember: Men of action have been responding to emergencies long before Molle webbing, YKk zippers, piss filtration straws, and whatever other goofie 💩 people are packing now in days.
Don’t be that guy who has everything in their vehicle to fight a small war but can’t tighten down a screw or do some other basic task because your waifu pretend gf can and will bang the guy you call to come fix the sink 🚰 because you know everything about a weapon system but not her plumbing 😉
And for all the Toilet paper 🧻 hoarding of 2020 you would think more people would show a roll.
HM thanks for watching and your comments. I agree training is key in medical, firearms, etc. Within a budget, you should spend about 75% on training and the remainder on gear.
Got a 2000 ford excursion that I'm getting ready to build. I really like all of the mounting systems you have.
I live on the coast so I'll be adding a dive mask and spare air dive bottle.
Had a good friend that watched a car drive off the hwy into a water canal...right in front of him. He immediately stopped and dove into help.
The car went down while he and the driver were still in the car. The canal was 20 ft deep. He made it back out but sadly he could not get the driver out and she passed away.
This is why I plan on having the dive mask and spare air dive bottle.
Hi James. Thanks for your comment. Very sad but glad it has influenced you to prepare accordingly. I think everybody's setup should be what they feel is best for them. Glad you are putting a lot of thought into your setup.
Quick tip: Don't show your keys it can be easy to take model pictures and eather 3d print them or take the pictures to a locksmith.
I would highly recommend taking that CAT tourniquet out of the packaging and stage it correctly so you can deploy it quickly.
Thanks MM for watching! Yes I have removed it from the plastic. Good idea. Thanks.
Definitely agree. Mine is staged and rides in the driver's door compartment.
And the cats off the truck
@@therealbigfoot3076 Haha yes nothing worse than a cat walking across a nice paint job!
Got some good things going on there. I would suggest highlighting your holster set up in the truck and on the bike that you get some training with your blow out kit and make sure it has everything you need to stop the bleed. Tourniquet should open and staged so if you need to use it on yourself...usually one handed you don’t bleed out before you it get it out of the plastic wrapper.
Michael, Thanks for your comments. Yes the wrapper has been removed from the tourniquet. I will be taking some med training in the next 60 days. I do plan to take a deeper dive with some of these products in the near future. Thanks again for your interest in the channel.
14:00 10 months in the future, and it hasn't gotten much better 😂
You are correct!
I love the setup on your truck , it seems very functional and practical, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. It is about time for an update!
Judging by his house I don't think he cares if it's stolen.
Judging by the Raptor
Hey brother. Just a suggestion. I’m an emt with an emergency service. I suggest taking your tourniquets out of the plastic. If you get blood on your hands they are almost impossible to open if the plastic is on them. Speaking from experience. Amazing video and awesome truck setup!
Hi Woogie, thanks for watching. I actually removed the plastic soon after the video was published (rookie mistake on the plastic). I have sense taken a trauma med training class that was great. Thanks again for your input!
Not a good idea having a water bottle in the heat.
Not disagreeing but as I have worked outside in the most extreme temps of the western desert most of my adult life it isn't hurting anything. Our water cans sat on the rigs for days. Yeah it's hot/warm whatever but your body will absorb it faster. Im certain he rotates the water too.
Thanks for your input James. I do rotate and most recently added some aluminum cans with water for emergencies.
Got some great ideas for my rig! Thanks for the walk through! Something you might consider: take the plastic wrap off of your TQ. Last thing you want to be doing if you ever have to use that thing is be fumbling around with that wrapper.
Hi Motoscout. Thanks for watching and your comments. The TQ was actually taken out of the plastic shortly after the video was published but YT will not allow edits. Glad I was able to help you with your set up. Good luck!
gallon of water for the radiator couple quarts of oil transmission fluid. but great set up. I have my oil and everything in a milk crate
I like to have a socket set even just a 1/4 drive with basic metric and standard sizes. Takes up as much space as a vhs tape
Thanks for watching. I highly recommend this set for small jobs amzn.to/3l46W2h
I was preparing a backpack that has all the necessary equipments for any potential risk/threat in an urban environment, i live in istanbul as foreigner and couple of months later i will be visiting all major European cities, i prepared a mini pharmacy, 20,000 powerbank, all tech equipments, fast, accessible, and legal self-defense knife and pepper sprey, and countless other utilities, still i need a gps tracker to insert it to the bag (i am not sure if you do have a gps tracker for the truck but such a small device inserted to your truck can increase the security of the property from being stolen or lost)
the bag shouldn’t exceed 12 kg and it actually looks cool from outside, obviously a backpack is nothing compared to a truck 😅 but i ended up watching your video when it was recommended to me and subscribing to the channel, great work ✊🏻🔥
Hi Shamy. Thanks for watching and subscribing! I am planning to do another video soon on changes I have made to my setup. Sounds like you are definitely on the right track and 12kg is a good weight (especially if that includes water). In regard to GPS, I do not have one in my bag but my truck came equipped with one that works through an app.
Great setup! - off topic question - what do you do for work? 😂 love the neighborhood/house
I'm in Industrial Sales. Have since moved to the country.
Really nice setup. Not exactly the way I have my truck but some similarities. A useful pouch suggestion for you that I use is the maxpedition accordion pouch using two nylon straps (cheap sleeping bag attachment straps) to attach it to the back of the drivers seat headrest. Also the Tasmanian tiger headrest ifak for the riders side headrest is really handy and useful, especially if you need to reach it from the drivers seat! Glad you are wanting to get some emergency medical training. Having med gear and looking for someone who knows how to use it in an emergency is like having a pistol on you and looking for someone who knows how to shoot it in an active shooter situation.
Thanks for the input. I had not seen the Maxpedition Accordion and I like the separations. Definitely want med training and like your analogy.
everything is so well organized and good quality items. looks amazing
Abe, Thanks for watching and your feed back!
hey just saw this but...that tourniquet. Take the Velcro zip ties off of it and and use heavy duty rubber bands. Your setup is just not fast enough to release. You need to be able to secure it but also be able to rip it free instantly if you need it. remember, 40 seconds. every second counts.
Great video- perfect length with very good discussion with all the needed info. Using this video as a plumb-line for my new XLT! Thanks
Thanks for watching Jerin and good luck with that XLT!
Good vid! I would recommend taking the tourniquet out the package and prepping the strap into the loop
Thanks for watching! Tourniquet plastic was actually removed the next day but the video cannot be updated
Hi Weekend,
I picked up a couple of small Harbor Freight tarps in case of a flat. I keep them behind the back portion of the back seat. It will give me something to kneel on and something to put my dirty flat tire on when I put it in the back of my truck, to help keep me clean when working and the back of my truck clean with the dirty spare in it. Also I picked up some interesting temporary tire chains that are made to go on rims like ZIP TIES.
harbor freight has these small foam kneeling pads also. changed my sisters tire the other day and it kept the rocks out of my knee. i recommend!
Thanks for watching Arlene and your comments!!
I have a Leer topper and a Bed Rug bed liner that is why I want to keep the back clean. I haven't done the Reflectx window covers yet.
I hope you have a great alarm system with all that nice gear in that truck! I understand being prepared, but wow that’s a lot of stuff. But awesome setup and rig buddy 👍🏽
Thanks for watching Jason. Yes the truck has a very good alarm system but I also try to limit time in undesired areas. Sometimes we do not have a choice and have to take a chance. I would rather be prepared and have to replace items if stolen than to not have them at all. Glad you liked the video.
Great video! Thank you for making it and sharing your gear. 1 thing I have been thinking about a lot lately is a water filtration/purification supplies.
Thanks for watching Jeremister. I haven't gotten very deep in water filtration. I have a few Sawyer filter systems I use for hiking / tent & hammock camping. In this video I discuss the water systems I currently use:
ua-cam.com/video/ecaxF_mOqNw/v-deo.html
I am considering a system that incorporates a filter with a 20L can made by Life Saver. It is a little pricey at $300 (which is why I haven't purchased one yet).
Thank you for sharing your set up with your gear. I agree that the fire extinguisher needs to be more accessible somewhere close to the driver's seat. I do recommend that having your recovery gear more accessible if you plan on getting on trails that may leave your Raptor in precarious positions. I've learned my lesson. I must have missed what you have in your edc bag. It seems like a lot of this gear could be stored in your edc bag. I also noticed that your have a lot of knives and flashlights but no spare parts for your vehicle. At the very least you should be packing spare belts, hoses, clamps, oil, air filter, etc. Anyway, thank you for your video and stay safe on the trails.
Hi Stephen. Thanks for watching and your feedback. Yes totally agree regarding spares (especially if you are traveling in remote destinations). Like many others, my setup is constantly changing. I need to produce an updated video.
Sheesh. That’s an impressive setup! Really like all your stuff and how neatly it’s organized. I’d say you are prepared for just about anything!
Hi Trey. Thanks for watching and your comments. I need to make an update video. This is an ever evolving process!!
Nice setup,. everything mounted well and organized. Good job!
Thanks for watching Ed!!!
Beautiful house and beautiful truck , you remind me of my uncle . I hope to be successful like this one day , I work every day twords it and my wife and I are doing really good right now , I see us being successful soon .
Thanks, we have been fortunate but it has come from hard work. Sounds like you are on a good track. Good luck!!
Great setup! 1 piece of advice.. take the tourniquet out of the plastic and have it looped through ready to use. If your hands have blood all over them that plastic is just another obstacle to get through.
Hi Trip, Thanks for watching. I actually removed the plastic a week after I made the video. I also took some trauma training which I would recommend to anyone who hasn't done so.
AWESOME setup, this just popped up on my FYP. I know it is a couple of years old, you may have addressed this in future vids. please get some first responder type training. You should carry at at all times a tourniquet with your pew-pew, and know how to use it correctly. Only other issue I see is the Fire Extinguisher should be in the cab for quicker access. I carry 3 and 2 of them are twice that size in case I need to assist at a car accident, (not a firefighter just a citizen). Otherwise GREAT setup!!!!
Thanks for watching and your comments. I have since taken trauma medical training and now have a fire extinguisher in the cab.
Hey brother, great video and one thing comes to mind that is very small but very valuable to add is a Knipix Twin Key. Not only will it help you access H2O from buildings but it also has assorted keys used for accessing rooms/cages like electrical or plumbing or gas. The types of keys a janitor might carry or someone with building/plant maintenance.... perhaps this will help you. All the best.............. MP
MP thanks for watching and your feedback. Great idea. I will have one on order in the next 5 min. Thanks.
@@WeekendOverland Anytime and every time brother. I always try to be helpful, I always try to be an ally.
Nice! I would only take the seatbelt cutter and move it to some place that is easier to reach. If you ever need a seatbelt cuter, your car is not going to be in the best condition.
Thanks for watching Jan. Yes correct, it could be in a better location although it is on a quick release mount.
The holster setup has positive attributes but, what if your weak arm is busy fending off someone grappling you as you are getting in/out?
Or want to access the pistol while you're steering with your weak hand?
Pulling the holster with the gun makes it inaccessible if you only have tbe one hand available.
Instead, maybe train to keep your booger-hook off the bang switch as you draw?
Good setup 👍
I know this is super old but if you haven’t already go pickup a bag of different size zip ties that are always super handy for tons of things. I’d say you already do have them but if not definitely worth having. Definitely like your setup
Thanks for watching. Yes I have a few zip ties in my get home bag and a few in my recovery case in the truck bed. Thanks for your comments as well.
@@WeekendOverland oh yes sir! I had thought heck I’ll go ahead and comment on it even though it’s a year old and you had probably done added a lot more item’s. Maybe do another kinda update video and I’ll definitely add too things you might be interested in adding too your setup!
@@triplehfarmsllc7348 yes I have been considering an update. As you know, set ups like this are always evolving. Input from viewers like you is what makes the evolution happen and everybody benefits. Thanks again for taking the time to comment .......... I look forward to more input in the future!
Your whole setup tickles my lizard brain, love it brother. Thanks for sharing
@theblacklines Thanks for watching!
Must be nice to have the best of everything! I don't know anyone that can even relate to your edc build out!
Hi Dan. Thanks for watching. I hope I have given you some ideas for your set up. I am working on a few more mods to the truck and will share it in a video soon.
Just found your channel, great set up, looking forward to checking out your other vids. Best wishes from Ireland! Stay safe and be prepared!
Hi PD. Sorry but somehow missed your comment earlier. Thanks for the support from Ireland.
I got some inspiration for my truck! I’d suggest that you need to take the cat out of the package. (I’m a certified paramedic and ems instructor, TCCC certified) most people buy tourniquets and leave them in the package. I got a lot of tourniquets all over my truck one on my ifak and one in each door so if I’m in a wreck any passengers and myself have access to one for any injuries.
Hi Cory. Thanks for watching. Yes good catch. I actually took it out of the wrapper about 1 week after the video was published. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I know this is an old video but I’d suggest taking that tourniquet out of the wrapping. In a stressful situation you’d be surprised how hard it is to do something as simple as opening a wrapper. Plus it’s just faster without it.
Thanks for watching! Tourniquet plastic was actually removed the next day but the video cannot be updated
I love the setup. You gave me so many ideas. Unfortunately, my mega-cab 2500 won’t fit in my garage so I have a high end after market alarm system and a dedicated camera on my truck in the driveway. I keep everything in a few unassuming bags and load them as I need for trips to the range or out of town and even local errands. I put a console safe custom fitted for my truck in it and it’s perfect. A DiamondBack cover is on the bed and it’s additional security as well.
Hi Ken. Thanks for watching and your feedback! I definitely understand. My truck only has about 12" to spare while in the garage. I am fortunate in that I work from home so the amount of time my truck spends outside of the garage is less than most people. I have considered a console safe and probably should since I carry in the truck. Absolutely love my Diamond back cover and wish I had bought it sooner. I have a few videos on it as well.
@@WeekendOverland Thank you for responding!!! Yes those covers are the best!!! The safe is by Locker Down and it’s great for keeping stuff when you can’t or don’t want to lug everything around. Let’s face it…if they take the truck…fine I’ll upgrade…if they have all day they can defeat the bed cover and the safe but like you, I work from home and stay up late. If you are STUPID you’ll come to the house lit up like a Nuclear Site or Federal Prison and tamper with my truck…in my house there is a total of 50+ years of law enforcement between myself, my son and my wife…good luck!!! Be safe and I’m going to subscribe if I didn’t already and check your other videos out!
@@klj5150 First of all, thanks to your family for your service. I am with you regarding your mindset, if you take it, it can be replaced ...... just don't do it while on my property!! Have a good one and thanks for subscribing! More to come....
Man, that is one hell of a truck! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching Siavash.
I would say don’t keep all that expensive nice gear in your truck but by the look of things you aren’t hurting for money. Great detailed setup man 👍
Hi Jacob. Thanks for watching! ....and your comment.
Definitely well thought out set up !
to be honest prep is everyday life and being ready for plus... well done setup
Thanks for watching and your feedback!
Thank you for putting this video together. Have been adding to my notes as I watch how you have stocked your truck. Maybe I missed it, but if not, do you have an extra pair of sun glasses in there? Or even some clear lens safety glasses? Thay can both come in super handy and dont take up any space.
I do have an extra pair of sunglasses in my get home bag but I like your suggestion about a pair of safety glasses. Thanks
Im pretty late to this video, but i learned quite a bit. when i pay some home improvement debt off ill get a truck. I suggest taking the Tourniquet out of the plastic and have pre-staged. it would be much easier and faster to apply when you do that
Thanks for watching! Tourniquet plastic was actually removed the next day but the video cannot be updated.
Just a thought but you might consider taking the tq out of the wrapper. Very cool set up.
Plastic was remove a few days after the video was published. I have since taken training in medical trauma which I highly recommend for everyone. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the walk through, thx. I really need to get my act together and organize my truck. Makes no sense having everything you need but not where you actually need it. Organization is key! 👍
I totally agree and it is a never ending process. Thanks for watching.
@@WeekendOverland Definitely 👍
I know I'm coming in late with this comment, but you mentioned taking a course on medical care. I highly recommend a CPR class of some sort, and then take a "STOP THE BLEED" course as well. That will go over tourniquets, GSW's, and other types of major injuries and where they could happen on the body. It'll really open your eyes to the potential life-saving measures that you can take to save someone. Or, you can teach someone to save you! Hope this helps!
Thanks for watching TWL. I actually took a medical Trauma course a few months ago and recommend the same to everyone.
@@WeekendOverland Fantastic!
I'd love to have a setup like that especially having a truck gun. However I drive to Canada alot, so its probably not a good idea too keep any kinds of weapons in the vehicle.
You asked for suggestions, so here goes. Come-a-long to get unstuck. High Lift Jack, invaluable. Axe, small and large. Tow strap and chain to reach that tree to connect to the Come-along to get you unstuck. That is based upon my got stuck experience. Also, imagine driving into the forest, then while driving out a tree fell across the road. Hence the axes and saws, which you have. Just saying.
Hi Kent. Thanks for watching and your suggestions. I would love to mount a winch but in the meantime a come-a-long would be a great addition. I also need a High Lift Jack. I do have both an axe, hatchet, and tow strap. Good info Kent. Thanks.
Love the NC State stuff around the garage. I went there as well.
Go Pack!! Thanks for watching Steve.
Looks good. However, I have had two different vehicles robbed in two different cities. My mindset has changed on how much I keep in the truck now.
Excellent video! Great ideas
Thanks for watching!
I’m curious how you’d need to change in a more hot or cold climate. In the US south we can’t really keep a lot of stuff in our cars because they will get damaged by the heat. I’m sure there are other considerations for freezing weather. Great looking set up, looks very functional. Goals!
Hi T Austin. Thanks for watching. I agree that in the south our biggest challenge is typically the summer heat. I've started storing water in aluminum containers instead of plastic, medication should be cycled, and probably ammo as well. In the winter, I really do not make any accommodations other revising my stored clothing and shoes to accommodate the low temps.
@@WeekendOverland I didn’t even think about medicine! Yes, things just get damaged over time. It would be tough to make a set it and forget it kind of set up. I’m trying to create a first aid kit that can survive the summer and it’s not easy. Any tips from your experience?
@@treaustin1 I have a trauma IFAK that I keep in my truck at all times. I am fortunate that I do not require any prescription meds so the only meds I keep in the car are Benadryl and Aleve. Therefore the degradation isn't a big deal. I haven't researched extensively but have yet to find a good way to store meds in a hot vehicle.
@@WeekendOverland Sure, I think I’ll just avoid medications and go for other supplies. See if I can find some adhesives that won’t melt on me. Thanks!
I have the Leatherman raptor rescue scissors. Also has a glass breaker seatbelt cutter and ring cutter. I need a couple more for both vehicles and my gear
Just checked these out and they are pretty cool! Definitely going to get a pair. Thanks for the info.
Awesome video! Gave me lots of great ideas for my own truck. My only suggestion would be to please take the plastic off that TQ and prep it properly. Coming from a place of love, not criticism I promise lol. Much love brother
Thanks for watching and glad you liked the video. I actually removed the plastic a few days after the video went out. I have since taken some medical trauma classes and now know what an oversight that was...... Thanks.
Word of advice on you TQ take the plastic wrapper off just mean when you need it you can get it on a arm or leg faster
Nice setup, thanks for the ideas. The "shovel" you have is what we would call an "entrenching tool" or "e tool" in the military
Hi Zach. Thanks for watching and your service. You are correct! this thing would be hard pressed to perform like a real shovel. I actually have a shove that I sometimes keep in the truck with about a half length handle. Still deciding on the best mount.
@Weekend Overland always handy to have a real shovel when nature calls 😀
Great content for the video and your supply stash. I also like your modesty.
New sub.
Hi Jason. Thanks for watching and your response. I like to be transparent and let everyone know what my experiences are while at the same time being open minded to change based on feedback.
This the best one I saw so far good job pops
Thanks for watching SP!
Jiggler type super syphon, wouldn’t be a bad idea to toss one of those in your truck also. Good video
Didnt catch in the video if you spoke about your rear floor mat. I like that full cover mat. If you could give more details. Thanks hope all is well!
Hi Jason. Thanks for watching. That floor mat actually came with the truck from Ford. I must say that they did a good job with it. It is thick and very durable. Have no idea the cost but should be available through Ford.
Great set up
