Something not mentioned is any recovery gear. I always carry jumper cables, tow strap, tyre compressor, tyre repair kit and power jump pack. You never know when a simple repair/assistance will get you out of trouble, you also don’t need to wait for roadside assistance as they could be extremely busy and be hours to get to you. You could also be in a more inaccessible area, and need to get yourself out of trouble.
I bought a bpa free five gallon water tote from Walmart. Only weakness is the cap. I foresee it cracking one of these days. In the engine compartment, I bolted down an air compressor, I built a rack that holds jumper cables, oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, other fluids. In the tire compartment, I have a tire gauge, a dozen tools, flares, cleaning rags, Marvel's mystery oil, tape, radiator patch and tools like folding shovel/pick, toilet paper, contractor bags, bottle jack (separate from the scissors jack that comes with the vehicle), orange plastic signal panel, fire starter kit.
I grew up in England (UK) where cars get burgled a lot, and one of the things to help prevent it is to make sure you don't leave anything where someone can see it from outside. Of course you may already have one, it's just not on here 😊 If you don't, I'd get one that attaches to the back seats, and sides. It just makes your vehicle less vulnerable 😊
Super glad I came across this video. I just moved to Overton, NV and having to rethink some of the things for my emergency kit moving to the desert. Thanks for sharing.
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "ultimate survival kit bug out bag 2" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Pansaac Ideological Preeminence - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing one off guide for discovering how to collate your effective bug out plan for survival without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin got great results with it.
It’s different «Time-Zones» from Norway, to U.S. I’m a veteran, who served inside Lebanon, and Bosnia. It’s allways good, to get the Updates, from U.S…😉
I know it’s been awhile but I just saw this vid. I had a water jug leak in my tub once and made a mess. I decided I’d use a small dish pan to store all the liquid items in and set it inside my big tub. Then if something leaks or breaks at least it won’t get everything else wet. Also migrated to stainless steel water jugs for humans & my dogs. I always have spare oil, washer fluid, coolant, brake fluid etc. I’ve used those items to help out other motorists than myself.
Oh one other comment I've had the 5 gallon Coleman water jug with the spigot in the back of my truck exposed to the elements for 5 years it's never sprung a leak and it still works perfectly fine.
The Scepter military water cans are about 41 bucks on Amazon. I like the half size ones because of weight once filled, the half size ones I got at REI on line, ironically cost more $50. But you get a 10% dividend every year from your purchases.. I would keep an empty fuel can in your vehicle. They come in handy in an emergency 1 or 2 gallon. I use lifeboat rations for vehicle food because the extreme heat in a car ina hot climate makes MRES go bad rather quickly.
Excellent vehicle 🚗 emergency kit. I have an F-350 with a camper top so I have a lot more room. I carry about the same things you do but I do carry much more tools because I have the room. But yours is perfect 👌🏻 Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
John Mcclane mine is a 2017. I bought it new. Currently have 33,000 miles I tow a 10K pound travel trailer about once a month. I love it. Only mechanical issue I had was that one of my batteries sprung a leak and corroded my positive battery terminal. Dealer changed battery and terminal. Other then routine maintenance NO OTHER ISSUES. I got the king ranch model and had every single extra added. Everything works great
michael leon is it a big gas guzzler I'm not going to tow I just like the looks of it was going to get a ram rebel red color but many transmission issues Fiat junk they have
I used to have an emergency gear just like yours maybe with a variant of stuff but basically most of the contents were similar as yours, finally when i had to used it, at least two thirds of that content were just to full my gear case, they were totally unusefull so since that day i just travel with a third of that content. that does work for me.
We are similarly prepared in our vehicles. Glad I'm not the only one. Yours is far better organized and neat. I keep full sized emergency tools. Full sized shovel because I do not want to be on my knees in the mud and sand. Full size ax, demo tool and bolt cutters. I'm fat so I keep even more food than that. Lol.
Never thought about the Ax, I do have an extra and a way to mount it in the vehicle. That shovel is close to full sized, one of the neat parts of it, its not one of those tiny little fold up ones, you screw in the parts of it and it gets fairly long, so you don't have to get on the ground to use it. Bolt cutters would be a great addition on the kit too!
good gear in the jeep, I don't carry as much but the basic in first aid, meals and shelter if you were stranded, I do change out for summer/winter time with the weather and temp (I'm in eastern Canada)
Craig Betts always carry a good jack floor jack 3 ton or more lightweight and impact wrench 1/2 instead of a cross also have emergency kit and first aid is good also a jacket and a umbrella just in case
Craig Betts what Jeep you have I'm thinking of getting a Jeep Wagoner or a new Wrangler but they have electronic issues steering wheel loose hard to maintain manage keep straight
I got my GI watercan from Amazon. MREs and FRHs do not cut it up here in the winter. Too cold. IT is hard to decide on how much you really want to carry. My Jeep is packed full. Thank you for showing us the junk in your trunk, George
Nice setup, the one i have in my ram is both very simular but diffrent in a few key areas as i have a lot of room in my 1 ton to play with. First i have mostly freeze dried instead of MREs due to temp extreme damage being a worry. though i do keep 2 MREs in the truck i swap every 6 months, as well as 2 20 liter german surplus potable water cans. I also have an espar bunk heater installed in my shell and another in the cab incase i need to shut down or the engine breaks in poor conditions. It provides heat without the worry of the exaust killing me such as may happen if snow covered my tailpipe while i slept. I also typically carry a 12 volt cooler with me that while it wont keep drinks ice cold, 40 or 50 degree drink when its 105 outside can be the diffrence between heat stroke and not. I also have a 12 volt fan to help as well and a high quality CB radio and antenna setup. Next i keep a set of spare parts or repair kits in my truck for common breakdowns, items such as belts, hoses, tire repair kits, alternator, fuses, radiator and oilpan repair kits, spare battery ect. But i also keep a full set of electronics (I.E brain, sensors, modules ect) and a diagnostic computer as well as a repair manual and the tools to change them in a home made faraday cage which is in all honesty just an old metal tool box with a bunch of non conductive plastic and latex sprayed into it then everything wraped in anti static bags. While an EMP or the like is very unlikely, i had my truck get hit by lightning in the back woods once and i had to hike 40 miles out. All because one little sensor fried that woulda taken 30 seconds to change. Next i do keep an AK47 and 12 spare mags of various ammo in my truck but they are in a locking case built into the area under the seat which is covered with carpet and quite hard to find unless you know its there and i also pull the bolt which is stored elsewhere to make it even harder to use if stolen, not perfect but most smash and grabs wont look for hidden compartments and if they do wont have time to pry this one open. Figure if i need a gun quickly thats what my CCW is for. Next i have spare undersling tanks covered by skid plates. an upgraded titan 72 gallon primary tank and a 32 gallon tank in my spare tire holders place (the tire has been moved to an after market swing gate that also carrys twin 5 gallon metal cans and an offroad recovery kit.) Between the 4 tanks i can hold just shy of 220 gallons of fuel giving me a range just shy of 3300 miles. Each tank has also been upgraded with its own pump and wired and plumbed in such a way i can either pull from all 4 at once or 1 at a time depending on which switches i flip. this means i can cycle fuel easily so none goes bad or if a pump dies i can switch over easily. This allows me to ensure i cam weather even a moderately long fuel disruption. I also have a small bag in there with scentless shampoo, body wash, deoderant and toothbrush with a full change of clothing including boots. The exact set of clothing gets changed based on season. For example thermal underwear and wool socks with a set of insulated overalls toque, full face cover, hot hands instant heat packs and good gloves for winter. Finally i have a second tool kit with useful tools such as comealongs an axe and chainsaw as well as block and tackle incase i need to move a downed tree or stalled vehicle. It also has a shovel and 2 sizes of prybars in it. As well as a pair of 8 hour firelogs just incase and a set of 6 each blue red and green flares both in stick and shooting form. I also have a cordless drill and siphon pump....just incase. I also have about 50 bags of hothands air activated heat pads. Things are litteral life savers if you need heat NOW. It also has a small kit of trade goods and cash for bartering in a bug out situation like a hurricane or new orleans style flood. While it sounds like a lot more, the crate i use only takes up about 50% more room then your black box especially as the freeze dried takes up vastly less room then MREs and only has 1 extra hand held toolbox. That said i do like your trama kit for the front and will likely update my kit to have it. Though one peice you may want to add unless i didnt see it is a laminated U.S road atlas. Things are all kinds of handy especially if you get the trucker version as it shows even old backroads that most smaller maps just wont.
When I go out of town, I have a smaller get home bag that has both a power bank and solar panel, looking to add one to the vehicle in the future full time. Great ideas!
Iridium242 are led lights good flashlight because I hear rumors they loose power more easily than normal flashlight also I'm thinking of getting a key flashlight and a belt flashlight and a big flashlight but which one lumens one that light goes far which you recommend me to get if you know of any good brand
I'm trying to set up my car and wanted to keep a can of fix a flat and a portable air compressor in it but I worry about it exploding with our extreme heat out here out in Nevada . what are your experiences
I have had a can of fix a flat in my car for ages out here in Nevada. Never once had a problem. I replace it once every year just to be safe but never an issue. A portable compressor is a great idea too.
When my town first got a Dirt Cheap store one of the very first types of items they carried was army surplus from other countries. They had Czech republic Items both European style canteens with a wool cover and ponchos. You could soak the wool cover in water to cool the canteen. But the one item that impressed me the most was the late 80s military grade ponchos. I mean these ponchos were of extreme heavy duty materials. And I’m just short of 5”9 and it hung to just above my shoe tops. Sleeves that were extremely long and a cowl so huge I was currently having to push it of out my face. Remember that old rule that your gear should serve more than one purpose? Not only was it a superb grade poncho, it could do triple duty as a ground sheet to sleep on, or a waterproof sleeping bag to sleep in. Does anyone have any army surplus sites they know of that carries army surplus from around the world, not just the USA? If you do find a poncho with an extremely big cowl recommend adding a baseball style cap to help keep it out of your face and your face clear of rain, sleet, and snow. I’ve also heard of contractor grade trash bags doing triple duty too…
Jeep! Woohoo! I love your gear, but I am so skittish when it comes to carrying that much gear in my vehicle all the time, just afraid someone will take it. One of my friends actually had all her gear stolen recently from her vehicle, her whole BOB and everything, I've actually heard of a lot of break-ins lately. Anyway, great stuff!
Yeah but its not super expensive stuff, most of this stuff is not super high end.. Also we park in our garage at night so the chances are less but still there. Yeah, I am loving the jeep, 4wd adventures to come :)
It was a truck bed tool box, ya know the kind that goes behind the cab. I got it in Tractor Supply like back in 2009 when I got my suburban. I have since changed over that whole system and no longer use it, but use 3 different backpacks now filled with gear Works just as well and isnt as big, but for a bigger vehicle it was awesome
Yup very important to have an emergency vehicle in your kit LOL. Sorry I had to say it. It is a really well put together car kit. I am surprised you have all of those MREs in there instead of your thrive life foods. Thanks for the video.
Well if I had thrive in there I would need water to rehydrate them, MRES are easy, quick and can even be eaten cold, so in a real pinch being stuck in a vehicle for hours, you cant beat them. That is the only reason I like MRES in here. Also I tested one out that I had forgot in the old vehicle for 2 years, sure enough it was good as new.. so they do hold up well but I try and rotate them out once a year
I tend to keep a socket set in my truck and in my wifes suv. Harbor freight tools isnt that bad if u need it in a pinch. I also frequent garage sales for tools i keep in my vehicles. I just wonder if a manual tire changer, pick, axe, shovel, chainsaw over kill for my truck. I keep my first aid stuff, clothes, a few survival items in a rubbermaid tub from walmart
@@Iridium242 it seems like when we break down in our vehicles we tend to bugout, leaving the vehicle there. I wouldnt mind having a peice of mind to try to fix the problem and or keep spare parts available and not just medical, food and survival goodies
How do the mre's, or anything for that matter,handle the summer heat of the desert? I live in the desert and have been struggling to come up with a kit that will handle the summer temps.
I make sure to rotate them out at least once a year, normally after summer, a while back I did a video on an MRE I had in there for 2 years that I forgot to rotate out, it was still perfectly fine after 2 summers in my vehicle. They tend to last a decent amount of time but i Still change them out once a year.
Common Misconception. They do have water, but it will make you sick if you try to consume it. It's real slimy and it will give you diarrhea. Definitely, would not recommend "drinking" from it.
Great video. We just got a new to us car recently as well. The trunk space is alot less than our old SUVs was, so its taking a bit of time for me to get it packed just right. .
Wheres the knives for quick draw next to the driver side in the dash in the head unit cut into the seat through a easy draw slit and a pair of throwing knives placed under the floor Matt's
That was an old no name box I got from a local hardware store here, I no longer use it in my jeep, using an old Aviators bag now, big enough for the same stuff but packs a bit flatter!
Totally not sure, I have had them for years, got them at some store in Vegas years ago. Used them a few times over the years and they seem to work great.
I keep a 3/4 axe, folding saw and shingling hammer underneath the folding back seat in my SUV. The seat latches down so it is fairly secure in case of an accident.
Try putting even a small car fire out with a 1Litre powder extinguisher. It does literally NOTHING AT ALL. Get a foam one at very least 2 litre better 3 litres. Otherwise awesome.
Quarters are almost ESSENTIAL. Let me tell you why . Say you have to evacuate because of a sever storm, wildfires or whatever. Along the way to you next destination there WILL BE more than likely vending machines to buy snacks and beverages and keep going. We ran into this last year with the wild fires thank God for Quarters and vending machines on our way to safety to have a decent meal.
Well where I live its legal so probably not much, all depends on where you are, where I driving with that gun in my car through New York City it would be a whole different situation.
I was going to do a vehicle kit too. I buy a vehicle for its utility ,I look at it as a house if the plumbing, electrical, or the exterior needs repairs I fix it. I bought it because it suites my needs.If I need to get a new home it will be because it no longer fits my needs, not because it needs work. The engine and transmission can always be fixed,the structure around it is what is worth the gold. All things generate wear you know that. I would never give up space, space is a commodity. I do get why you switched. But jeep is way to expensive and just as computer complicated if not more,Love jeep.Parts and work are way to over priced for what they are. Just my opinion not trashing.
The price on it was amazing, I had my mechanic check it out before buying, the mileage is low, and its a 4 wheel drive. The suburban had a super expensive complicated computer that started giving me headaches and I was quoted 4 grand to fix it, on a 15 year old car it was not worth it, also I did not want a huge car payment so this was a perfect option for me. I was also able to get a 4 year warranty on it, so if anything screws up its covered. Had not heard much about a jeep, but it seems to run well, handles far better than the suburban, and with its rear seats folded down,I can sleep in it or pack in whatever I need. All in all it was a good deal for what it was.
@@Iridium242 Solid points, I guess I am bias because I work on my own vehicles. Not because I'm a mechanic, it's fixing by attrition. You got a solid vehicle. And I get you're busy with all you do, learning to fix a vehicle has a lot of treasure involved.Monitaraly, mentally and the physical time spent.
Yeah if I were to tell you my biggest weakness as a prepper its doing vehicle repair. I do have a friend who is trying to teach me lol he rebuilds his truck over and over in his driveway for fun haha but hey I can fix his guns and ham radio stuff and he can help me with my vehicle. :) From a newbies standpoint the engine in this vehicle looks a WHOLE lot easier to get at then the suburban..
@@Iridium242 Sounds like you fixed your weak link, nice trade off now that is a video you should do. That would get across a gold point,no one talks about, unity in personal spacial.
Yeah, I have a local store checking into a proper water can for this vehicle, that can will be going away soon! Looking at the 5 gallon miliary OD green ones.
In that green can, its a gas can that has never had gas in it, but I am upgrading it to a proper water container once my order comes in. There are also a few canteens inside the black box as well.

"New to us" is new to most of us. The smart person buys used.
I thought it was more odd that they knew each other and the guy never knew what kind of vehicle that a member of his ham radio club owned.
Not always, I like buying once crying once. Not buying 2 or 3 and crying every time after it breaks
@@ColdGrapeDrink buy a car worth fixing

good stuff we keep stuff in moms car but I can't get her to do much more and I'm still trying to figure out how to keep kit on my powerchair
When my town first got a Dirt Cheap store one of the very first types of items they carried was army surplus from other countries. They had Czech republic Items both European style canteens with a wool cover and ponchos. You could soak the wool cover in water to cool the canteen. But the one item that impressed me the most was the late 80s military grade ponchos. I mean these ponchos were of extreme heavy duty materials. And I’m just short of 5”9 and it hung to just above my shoe tops. Sleeves that were extremely long and a cowl so huge I was currently having to push it of out my face. Remember that old rule that your gear should serve more than one purpose? Not only was it a superb grade poncho, it could do triple duty as a ground sheet to sleep on, or a waterproof sleeping bag to sleep in. Does anyone have any army surplus sites they know of that carries army surplus from around the world, not just the USA? If you do find a poncho with an extremely big cowl recommend adding a baseball style cap to help keep it out of your face and your face clear of rain, sleet, and snow. I’ve also heard of contractor grade trash bags doing triple duty too…
The single shot truck gun i think is an awesome alternative instead of throwing in one of your more nicer guns. Thanks for the tip man.
Jeep! Woohoo! I love your gear, but I am so skittish when it comes to carrying that much gear in my vehicle all the time, just afraid someone will take it. One of my friends actually had all her gear stolen recently from her vehicle, her whole BOB and everything, I've actually heard of a lot of break-ins lately. Anyway, great stuff!
Yeah but its not super expensive stuff, most of this stuff is not super high end.. Also we park in our garage at night so the chances are less but still there. Yeah, I am loving the jeep, 4wd adventures to come :)
What is the large container? I've been looking for some like it.
It was a truck bed tool box, ya know the kind that goes behind the cab. I got it in Tractor Supply like back in 2009 when I got my suburban. I have since changed over that whole system and no longer use it, but use 3 different backpacks now filled with gear Works just as well and isnt as big, but for a bigger vehicle it was awesome
Wow! it packs up real nice
Yup very important to have an emergency vehicle in your kit LOL. Sorry I had to say it. It is a really well put together car kit. I am surprised you have all of those MREs in there instead of your thrive life foods. Thanks for the video.
Well if I had thrive in there I would need water to rehydrate them, MRES are easy, quick and can even be eaten cold, so in a real pinch being stuck in a vehicle for hours, you cant beat them. That is the only reason I like MRES in here. Also I tested one out that I had forgot in the old vehicle for 2 years, sure enough it was good as new.. so they do hold up well but I try and rotate them out once a year
I tend to keep a socket set in my truck and in my wifes suv. Harbor freight tools isnt that bad if u need it in a pinch. I also frequent garage sales for tools i keep in my vehicles. I just wonder if a manual tire changer, pick, axe, shovel, chainsaw over kill for my truck. I keep my first aid stuff, clothes, a few survival items in a rubbermaid tub from walmart
I was thinking about a socket set, will have to pop into Harbor Freight next time I am in Vegas, or just order it online
@@Iridium242 it seems like when we break down in our vehicles we tend to bugout, leaving the vehicle there. I wouldnt mind having a peice of mind to try to fix the problem and or keep spare parts available and not just medical, food and survival goodies
Great emergency gears
What year liberty? I just got a 2005 Ford Escape!!
Nice kit, thanks for posting!
Good idea thank u.
Great ideas
Any updates to your kit in 2022?
How do the mre's, or anything for that matter,handle the summer heat of the desert? I live in the desert and have been struggling to come up with a kit that will handle the summer temps.
I make sure to rotate them out at least once a year, normally after summer, a while back I did a video on an MRE I had in there for 2 years that I forgot to rotate out, it was still perfectly fine after 2 summers in my vehicle. They tend to last a decent amount of time but i Still change them out once a year.
In the desert remember CACTUS HAVE WATER and most are edible as well....spike a barrel cactus and get good water
Common Misconception. They do have water, but it will make you sick if you try to consume it. It's real slimy and it will give you diarrhea. Definitely, would not recommend "drinking" from it.
Its the quinchiest!! Im guessing you havent the og avatar show
Great video. We just got a new to us car recently as well. The trunk space is alot less than our old SUVs was, so its taking a bit of time for me to get it packed just right. .
Wheres the knives for quick draw next to the driver side in the dash in the head unit cut into the seat through a easy draw slit and a pair of throwing knives placed under the floor Matt's
I've got one backpack. So if you need to go on foot you can.
Awesome kit! What container are you using?
That was an old no name box I got from a local hardware store here, I no longer use it in my jeep, using an old Aviators bag now, big enough for the same stuff but packs a bit flatter!
@@Iridium242 Great idea!
What brand are the LED road flares? There are so many that look the same on Amazon. Just looking for a good reliable brand. Thanks.
Totally not sure, I have had them for years, got them at some store in Vegas years ago. Used them a few times over the years and they seem to work great.
Great magnetic lights...
Auto parts stores???
I would put a Camel pack and mats and maybe an air mattress
Hose clamps sir, I hope you have an assortment. They are crucial.
100% agree !!! Also some JB weld and Gorilla tape ...simple is better ✝️🇺🇸🤙🏻🅰️
Nice kit!
I keep a 3/4 axe, folding saw and shingling hammer underneath the folding back seat in my SUV. The seat latches down so it is fairly secure in case of an accident.
Walmart has road flares
If no one has mentioned it yet: Arizona Tea (large) containers for water.
My compliments for an informative video!
The 1 thing ive been searching 4 this guy has them rite there the lights with magnets and rear facing. I even check out his amazon page nothing.
Should have a pack JIC ya gotta leave the jeep on foot. 👍
Try putting even a small car fire out with a 1Litre powder extinguisher. It does literally NOTHING AT ALL.
Get a foam one at very least 2 litre better 3 litres. Otherwise awesome.
Yeah I have a full sized one in my vehicle now
Quarters are almost ESSENTIAL. Let me tell you why . Say you have to evacuate because of a sever storm, wildfires or whatever. Along the way to you next destination there WILL BE more than likely vending machines to buy snacks and beverages and keep going. We ran into this last year with the wild fires thank God for Quarters and vending machines on our way to safety to have a decent meal.
Absolutely. Also, dollar coins come in very handy when using vending machines. They always work when crumpled dollar bills won’t.
I wonder what cop say if you was to get pulled over? With the gun
Well where I live its legal so probably not much, all depends on where you are, where I driving with that gun in my car through New York City it would be a whole different situation.
Thank you for sharing
Heck yes
I heard that NY accent when you said motor oil, before you correct your self. 👍😂
What are yous tawkin about, I just did not have my CAWWWFEEE yet hahaha
Iridium242 😂😂👍
I was going to do a vehicle kit too. I buy a vehicle for its utility ,I look at it as a house if the plumbing, electrical, or the exterior needs repairs I fix it. I bought it because it suites my needs.If I need to get a new home it will be because it no longer fits my needs, not because it needs work. The engine and transmission can always be fixed,the structure around it is what is worth the gold. All things generate wear you know that. I would never give up space, space is a commodity. I do get why you switched. But jeep is way to expensive and just as computer complicated if not more,Love jeep.Parts and work are way to over priced for what they are. Just my opinion not trashing.
The price on it was amazing, I had my mechanic check it out before buying, the mileage is low, and its a 4 wheel drive. The suburban had a super expensive complicated computer that started giving me headaches and I was quoted 4 grand to fix it, on a 15 year old car it was not worth it, also I did not want a huge car payment so this was a perfect option for me. I was also able to get a 4 year warranty on it, so if anything screws up its covered. Had not heard much about a jeep, but it seems to run well, handles far better than the suburban, and with its rear seats folded down,I can sleep in it or pack in whatever I need. All in all it was a good deal for what it was.
@@Iridium242 Solid points, I guess I am bias because I work on my own vehicles. Not because I'm a mechanic, it's fixing by attrition. You got a solid vehicle. And I get you're busy with all you do, learning to fix a vehicle has a lot of treasure involved.Monitaraly, mentally and the physical time spent.
Yeah if I were to tell you my biggest weakness as a prepper its doing vehicle repair. I do have a friend who is trying to teach me lol he rebuilds his truck over and over in his driveway for fun haha but hey I can fix his guns and ham radio stuff and he can help me with my vehicle. :) From a newbies standpoint the engine in this vehicle looks a WHOLE lot easier to get at then the suburban..
@@Iridium242 Sounds like you fixed your weak link, nice trade off now that is a video you should do. That would get across a gold point,no one talks about, unity in personal spacial.
I always have a 5 piece kit at a minimum. I'm looking at how to add my get home bag without taking up too much room
Beautiful!
Great emergency gear. You won’t be the jackass on the side of the road saying I wish I had...,
omg he likes every comment, so genuine
Except yours lol
Road flairs at truck stops
8 MREs would last me about 8 days.
Thank you.
I love my H&R
Need a frisbee.
A few years ago I bought a used Subaru from a dealership and it turned out my landlord was the previous owner.
It just makes sence to have an emergency vehicle in your kit....
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
You might want to look into Blue Can water for your vehicle water storage.
Yeah, I have a local store checking into a proper water can for this vehicle, that can will be going away soon! Looking at the 5 gallon miliary OD green ones.
Love the content
My belly gets full when I think I have to eat a MRE.
Try canned water...
Where's your drinking water??
In that green can, its a gas can that has never had gas in it, but I am upgrading it to a proper water container once my order comes in. There are also a few canteens inside the black box as well.
The knife law is stupid
A pencil could be a weapon if a person trained with it
Whats wrong with a truck gun? Lol
Ham radios would work good if there weren’t only 3 people who used them
dont wave that thing around near a military airfield, you'll be directing helicopters not cars 😂
alcohol stove...
