Diesel can fix that for you. I can put all that gear in my truck and three people and still get 18 MPG

I am a real hoarder when it comes to keeping survival gear in my pickup. I always add to my stash, but seldom is anything rotated or eliminated.

Recently I traded away my '02 Dodge that I bought new. I told the dealership I'd need to empty my truck, then come back and take delivery of my new truck. Not wanting a buyer to leave the dealership before the customer drives away with the new rig, they insisted my salesperson drive my trade in to my house after the deal was done, and help me unload it. And I tried my best to impress on them it would be a hours-long endeavor. They wouldn't believe me, so the sales girl did drive my old truck back to our house for the changeover. She never would have believed how much stuff I keep in my pickup, in every nook and cranny, in survival bags, and in all the extra tote and tool boxes I keep in the back under the canopy.

Clothing, boots, tools, ammo, holsters, hats, belts, axes, hatchets, knives, spare glasses, medicine, rope, come-a-longs, gloves, gun maintenance stuff, and money. Seems money was stuffed everywhere. Every time I get gas, I just stick the change in whatever compartment there is that still has room.

The young lady expressed she could have never guessed one man could have so much stuff in one pickup. And she called a couple days later to say the detailing folks found another holster.

My point is, a feller can go overboard, and absolutely not know what he really already has stashed away in a vehicle. Taking a little inventory once in a while would be worthwhile. Not knowing you have stuff is very much like not having it at all.

And all this stuff is now in my new truck.

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

Shovel, tarp and bags of lye.

 

[DB is Here]

Refried beans & TP...What?

 

[Rickenbacher39]

Ok...........with all this stuff he is is suppose to be carrying in his truck
where in the heck is he suppose to sit?

 

[Meaty]

Man, I thought I would be on the "lightly" prepared side of this. Turns out I'm just about in the middle.

 

[PNWPrepper]

A bunch of napkins from fast food restaurants. Apply directly to the wound.

Sandblasted a hole in my leg once. That theory works amazingly. Just apply lots of pressure. And more napkins!

 

[Flymph]

Trash... so nobody wants to look through it.
