I don't feel the need to carry it around here, Where I am never more than 20 minutes away from help. If I break down on the freeway on the way to work, I'm getting it towed any way (not risking my life to work on the side of the road)
Yeah that's why I don't keep as much in my truck here. Can't really get away from anything here anyway. I kept so much in my truck in Oregon for running around out in the mountains and the desert away from any type of communication.

      42 posts and only 5 carry a first aid kit ? I even carry a couple maxi-pads . Not just for feminine use , they also make for a sterile , absorbent oversize wound dressing.

      Zombie Bug Out Bag, which has:
      1 set Patagonia Cap 3 long johns
      1 pair of black Dickies
      1 synthetic REI quarterzip longsleeve
      1 hoodie
      2 pairs of hiking socks
      Water purification tabs
      1 liter Nalgene bottle
      Mechanix gloves
      North Face glove liners
      Leatherman multi-tool
      100’ paracord
      Surefire G2 flashlight
      2 – 32 round Glock 18 mags
      2 loaded AR-15 magazines
      Basic First Aid kit
      85 SPF sun block
      Lip balm
      Moleskin
      Tigers hat
      6x6 tarp
      (I’m sure I’m forgetting some things)

      Pelican case, which has:
      6 loaded AR-15 magazines
      2 boxes of 9mm WWB
      10 boxes of .22LR

      5 MREs
      1 Gallon of distilled water

      Basic 100 piece Craftsman tool kit
      JB Weld
      Duct Tape
      Can of Fix-A-Flat
      Tire Puncture Repair Kit
      Assorted spare fuses and bulbs
      4 ratcheting tie-down straps
      Bungie cords
      A pair of old boots and old jeans
      jumper cables

      iPod and CDs

      And believe it or not, it’s all pretty organized and doesn’t take up that much space. The tool kit, pelican case and bugout bag all fit neatly behind the driver’s seat and only stand about 18” tall. The other random stuff is in the glove box or door pockets. There is still plenty of room for somebody to use the jumpseat on the passenger side.

      Behind passenger jump seat: LED safety flares, jumper cables, tow strap, small tool box, gloves, knit hat.

      Behind drivers jump seat: Streamlight 75816 w/ extra battery, VTK from Pro Med Kits, extra diabetic supplies for myself, travel sewing kit w/ better needles and tread - cause you never know when you're gonna rip the **** outa your jeans!

      Depends on where I'm going, for long trips and camping I bring some tools, shovel, sweatshirts, sleeping bag, inverter, 400 amp battery jumper, tow straps, saw, axe, first aid kit, etc. Around town, I keep it light with a few esentials like flashlight, rain poncho, gloves, water and a nice army blanket for those quick naps in the parking lot. If you travel much in cold weather I highly recommend you bring blankets, jackets, sleeping bags etc. Lots of bungie cords!
