Now that I'm back in Free America/God's Country/CONUS and have my very own pickimuptruck again, I've been stocking it and some of the items on the list so far have been:
1. E-tool - one of the great creations ever. The new ones are great, Gerber makes the Gucci of e-tools. Just went to post to buy another issue E-tool and they want $70 !!!
2. Hatchet (more for attempted car-jacking or emergency egress than anything else)
3. Compass/Mapcase/canteen w/cup/Goretex jacket. This was my old standby from operating days, the compass and canteen cup are crucial. Inside the map case are fire-starter/heat tabs, water purification tabs. There's a Gerber Mk 1 stuck in between the clips holding the canteen on the strap.
4. Poncho, hank of 550 cord.
Still rooting through kit bags to see what other stuff makes sense. got an old E&E bag that might just get restocked.
Used to keep an FR-8 and ammo in my Jeep last time I was here for a while. Maybe an SKS and battle pack this time.
