    With all the gear being suggested, you may as well concede defeat and upgrade to a Suburban so you can carry everything. ;-)

    I don't think so. The items (in the other thread) I listed for the cars fit in one small 12"X18 container and even the truck items fit behind 1/2 of the seat in my std cab PU.




    Basic supplies in every vehicle.

    First aid kit
    small basic tool kit with wire, duct tape, tie wraps, jumper cables.
    1 MRE with heater (changed every year)
    1 blanket
    1 space blanket
    chemical hand warmers 3 pair. (change these every year)
    3 road flares
    LED flashlight
    Spare batteries
    Pair of gloves
    cheap plastic poncho
    some paper towels
    1/2 roll of toilet paper in a bag
    2-3 bottles of water
    couple of plastic trash bags
    1 can fix a flat

    Due to the nature of where we go in the truck in addition to the above.

    another blanket and space blanket
    sleeping bag
    2 more MRE's
    coffee can
    candles
    fire starter, lint/Vaseline
    tire plug kit
    air pump
    tow strap
    fold up shovel
    more hand warmers and water
    compass and topo map of colorado
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    This!

    Get a good avalanche shovel if you need compactness, or a good plastic grain scoop if you don't.
