Thanks for sharing your truck load out! I have an emergency kit in mine, too, but it isn’t quite as well set up. This gives me ideas! Two things I do have that may be worth considering are a jump box for when there isn’t another vehicle to use jumper cables with, and a small air compressor to put air in tires.

And, while as a cop I’m almost always carrying a gun, I would never consider leaving a gun in a vehicle at any time. I’ve taken way too many reports for guns stolen in car break ins.

Thank you for sharing what’s if your utility box! I have most of those but they’re all shoved under the back seat and drivers seat. I’m finding a box so it’s all organized in one spot! There’s a couple items I’m going to add from your list. I also carry a bottle jack. The amount of times that’s come in handy is surprising. In winter I have traction treads. I think they’re just a Canadian thing. I’ve never been able to find them in the States. They’re metal and can be placed under tires when stuck in snow.
