  • A common misconception is that by having a full-kit loadout in your vehicle, you're ready for everything. In reality, that only makes you equipped for very specific situations that aren't likely to occur. So if you're going to have that, why not put as much, if not more effort into having the tools and ability to handle likely scenarios you could come across in your daily travels? In this video, Drew goes through everything he packs in his FJ Cruiser for daily travels as well as extended trips and how to organize your gear.

      Where i live it's mandatory to have one in vehicle (along with first aid kit and triangle sign), unfortunately, folks tend to go the easy way and get the cheapest stuff that passes as fire extinguisher :-/
      What i'd recommend is :
      - get bigger one - at least 2kg
      - have it on hand, not in the trunk under ton od bags

    -Spare serpentine belt, radiator hoses, oil, atf, DOT3, RTV, Dilectric grease, and Tank-Weld.
    -OBDII code reader or preferably scan tool if you know how to use one.
    -Giant Loop makes a fuel bag that works well, or alternatively an MSR fuel bottle.
    -Tire plugs usually work better than Fix-a-Flat, and take less room and can be used on all types of tires. They're also much cheaper.
    -2 Pairs of needlenose vise grips in case a brake line gets cut or damaged.
    -Tire chains can be used in mud as well as snow, and are especially useful if you've got 2WD/FWD in conjunction with a come-along.
    -If your engine bay allows, install a second battery. This is easiest on Chevy's and Super Duties with gassers, alternatively mount one in the trunk.

    Just a tip, my seatbelt cutter is secured on my seatbeat up near my shoulder via hook and loop. I keep it up near my shoulder so if the airbag deployed, I'm not trying to find it and so it doesn't get punched into my gut or chest if it was lower
    Edit: I live in south Florida and dislike everyone with salt life stickers 😆
    And my stock scissor jack that came with my stock suv won't even lift my vehicle up enough to change a tire and carried several chunks of 2x4s to help and finally bought a larger bottle jack

    Some great ideas, but take it from someone that Offroad a lot. You need to secure that stuff in the rear, seen it so many times. It’s amazing how easily it will make its way to the front when off-roading and/or in an accident on or off the road… If you don’t want drawers, a pet divider can keep most of it in the rear if an incident happens

    I vacuum-pack my emergency clothing, extra rain gear, tarp, and medical stuff, and then cut a little tear-tab in the corner so I can just rip them open and get to the stuff if there's an emergency. With a regular vacuum pack machine like you'd use for food, I mean. Compresses everything down really small, is very durable, dirt-proof, and stashes under the seat really easily. I do the same with the contents of my go bags. I throw in an O2 absorber and use it on my ammo stash too. Really handy tool, way underrated imo.

    From personal experience, it may be worth mentioning that rain *pants* are a good add as well. You have several jackets but from what I could see, no pants. If rain is REALLY coming down it’s a great comfort item to keep the dry goods dry and good if you know what I mean. Nothing worse than sitting cold and clammy waiting for AAA (in the best case of a bad situation) or walking miles through the rain with soaked jeans.

    • @theKashConnoisseur
      @theKashConnoisseur 7 місяців тому +4

      Living in one of the rainiest states in the Union, I find that a good waterproof jacket is enough to stay mostly dry. It's gotta be raining in sideways sheets to really soak a pair of jeans through, and in that case there's really no staying dry anyways. Rain that hard has enough pressure to force itself through the seams of even the best made rain shells.

    Definitely some good advice. How about some other things for your vehicle? Oil, coolant, radiator sealant, brake fluid, windshield wiper fluid, glass cleaner, paper towels. Air compressor, separate battery that you can jump start your car if stranded. It can also charge your phone or other devices. A shovel, ax, channel locks, foldable saw.

  • @donjames6560
    @donjames6560 3 місяці тому +4

    I was going to mention what someone else suggested... a sturdy shovel and folding saw to help you if you get stuck or have downed tree limbs that need to be cut so you can get through. Cheapest item to add... a board or thick piece of plywood to put under that jackstand type jack. If you get stuck in something like a muddy ditch, jacks will often burry themselves into the ground before they'll lift your vehical. Once raised, then you can stuff things like lengths of cut dead wood under tires.

    A few things that I never realized how much I would use till I started packing them in my truck. Go to harbor freight and buy a 3-5lb engineers hammer, an 18-24” crescent wrench, a set of their really long prybar size screwdrivers and a huge pair of channel locks. Also get a 30” breaker bar and the socket you need to take your tires off.
    That group of tools and a can of WD-40 will solve so many issues when added to a small socket set and an 8” and 12” crescent.

Also had room for some car specific parts: spare bulbs for brakes and headlights, oil filter wrench, spare oil filter, funnel, trans fluid, brake fluid, and a set of road flares. Under the drivers seat was a bottle of antifreeze/coolant and under the passenger seat was a big bottle of motor oil. Also in the trunk was a set of jumper cables, a heavy sleeping bag, and a spare winter coat. Car had a spare donut tire and a functional jack under the trunk carpet. In the glovebox were a first aid kit, an OBDII reader, a tire pressure reader, and a paper map of all the major and minor roads in my state. In the drivers side door panel, I had a tough camp knife, a bic lighter, and a water bottle. The rest would be on-body EDC: Flashlight, pepper spray, Leatherman, pocket knife, billfold, cellphone, handgun, spare mag.

    Rather than having a trash bag for a busted out window, keep a small roll of saran wrap and just wrap the entire door. It works much better for the short term until you can get your window fixed. Also, a rescue me tool zip tied to the rearview mirror is an easy way to carry it, and both front driver and passenger can reach it. Also, if you’re ever in need of gas, just buy a gallon of water at the gas station and dump it out and fill it up with gas. A little bit better than a trash bag.

    For your med kit, I would recommend at least a pocket mask with a one way valve if you can’t get ahold of a BVM. Ventilatory support is incredibly important and most people are more likely to come across patients who require CPR/BLS skills rather than trauma skills.
    A one way mask is pretty small and that barrier is very valuable for self protection when providing breaths and chest compressions.

      I feel like moving the body and trying to hide it would just destroy any chance you did have of arguing self defense. Gunshots are loud, neighbors are easily panicked, and forensics teams are really good at their jobs. Best bet is to make sure you fully understand your local laws as they pertain to self defense, make sure you don't have any punisher skulls on your gun or meme zombie rounds in your pistol, and strive to use only the amount of force necessary to stop the threat. All of that will give you the best chances in court. After that, it's up to the skill of your legal team and the whims of your jury.

      I can think of situations where I'd like to have a rifle accessible in my truck, but aside from the range, all of those situations also seem like stuff where I'd get shot for running around with a rifle. If I'm responding to a threat and I pull out my AR, all of a sudden I look like the bad guy. With my pistol, I can put that thing back into concealment almost as easily as I can take it out. Minimizes the chances of being canoed by a SWAT sniper 200 yards down the way, I figure.

      A body on frame SUV is just a subtype of light duty truck optimized for carrying passengers. A pickup is another subtype of light duty truck optimized for carrying cargo.
