I don't think you quite understand. He's mocking you guys for having all this crazy shit in your trucks as if World War 3's about to happen.

Thank you for tuning into this week's edition of "The bleeding obvious" tune in next week as we explain that people sit in chairs.


Couldn't resist mate.

Condoms?

You might meet Lady Bigfoot in the wild...and you don't want Bigfoot STDs...she uses Gorilla tactics, so you might have to wear it all the time...just in case...

 

[hoosier1104]

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...........your giving away my plan.

 

[Will]

I can see you guys aren't taking road survival seriously. I mean, a folding shovel and a pair of shower shoes for avoiding athlete's foot isn't going to save you if the shit really hits the fan out there.

First you need THIS (VIDEO) mounted on the front for getting through traffic.

That was directed to hoosier. I think he was the only one who didn't know Will was mocking everyone with WW3 survival gears. It's ok though, I got a good laugh out of it.

I don't think you quite understand. He's mocking you guys for having all this crazy shit in your trucks as if World War 3's about to happen.

Those who are materially prepared to survive are also usually those who
have the mental preparation to survive... or they wouldn't be preparing
would they?

With both the means and will to survive, plus a little luck,
you have a fighting chance should the worst happen.

Lacking ANY of those three things you are basically fukt.

But admittedly luck plays a bigger part than we'd like.

[85_Ranger4x4]

I usually have some vice grips, pliers, a couple screw drivers, jack and lug nut wrench, flashlight, fire extinguiser, jumper cables, a first aid kit, collapsable shovel... in the winter I throw my 0 degree mummy bag in the back seat and keep the gas tank over half full. A cell phone is a biggie, I have also noticed that truckers give road contition reports on the CB, that saved my tail a couple times when I lived in Omaha.

I don't venture to far out into the wilderness on wheels, it usually isn't that far to a house should something drastic happened.

Good for landscaping I'll bet.

I can see having parts for your truck like you stated. Like I said, I have spare fluids in the cab with me and I also have another serpentine belt and some other things just incase something breaks. Some of the things people listed really amazes me. I didn't know you would need that kind of stuff for your morning voyage to work and then again on the way home. Doesn't make sense to me that you would leave it in there 24/7. I'm content with carrying my tools, fluids, small parts, two cellphones, and a credit card.

 

[TheTopher]

With the exception of my bat, first aid kit and blanket everything on my list rides in the toolbox and it's just easier to leave it there.
