I know i've mentioned a few times that i had an extensive truck kit for emergencies
so i figured it was time to prove it. This will also give folks a chance to point out if i am missing anything.

here we go

this is my keychain setup, it consists of my keys, a carabiner thing with multiple keyrings, a boker pry tool, a cool little led flashlight and a victorinox classic.

I also keep another ring handy with a p38, a 3 foot tape measure, a sears 4 way screwdriver and another larger flashlight just in case. These stay in my truck consol

this is the bag i keep all the stuff in (exceptions are boots, canteens and water)

this is the exploded backpack full of stuff. It contains
BDU Pants and extra T-Shirt
Boonie Hat
2 1 liter canteens
my old military poncho
SAS survival handbook and US Army survival, evasion and recovery manual in a ziplock bag
gloves
250 feet of 25 lb fishing line
reference card for different knots
a file for sharpening tools
one of those crappy finger saws
US Army Mess Kit (supposedly WW2 surplus)
50 feet of 550 cord
a backup lighter in a ziplock bag
small first aid kid, also has 2 mini bics in it
paring knife
buck 119
ozark folding saw
2 emergency blankets

JustInCase car kit
gerber gator

8" pliers

12 inch Ontario Machete with home made sheath (about probably 20' of 550 cord)
lots of WD 40
rubber gloves

oh and here is another picture of my 11 just so its on topic. It does show the new wrap though

i forgot to take pics of a couple items, i also have a pair of old military boots since i never know what i'll be wearing on any given day (could be hiking books, could be sandals, could be work shoes)
and i added 2 12 packs of water to the back of my truck today, its been so damn hot in mississippi i figured it would be stupid not to keep some water in the vehicle just in case.

at some point in the future i will have to do pics of my edc stuff and my altoids tin...

anyways, i think you guys like pics so i figured it was time to do my part
 
i learned the other day you can buy WD40 in gallon cans :)

nice setup :>
 
Wow looks like you got everthing covered. One thing I didn't see was something larger than canteens to tranport water with from a water source. I have a 1 gallon collapsible container. just a thought
 
hrmm, well i got 2 cases of 16.9 ounce water bottles, i could take them out of the case and load the bottles into the backpack lol
and i am thinking of adding some garbage bags which might work short term

camelpack might not be a horrible idea, the truck kit is really an emergency bag/get home bag more than anything else
 
I was just considering making a thread about this. I recently picked up a small ridgid job box for the back of my truck. Maybe tomorrow I'll post a pic and description. I am reminded that I need to put water and a shoulder bag in my truck
 
well a pickup is like the modern cowboys horse
we live out of the trucks, we work out of the trucks and keep all our supplies in it

if we take care of the truck the truck will take care of us :p
