What do you keep in the lower compartment in the trunk?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(hyo silver @ Mar 28 2007, 01:01 AM) [snapback]413404[/snapback]</div>

Or how about "Loot in the Boot"?

 

Hiking boots, trekking poles, tire chains and, when not needed seasonally, ice scraper. I really like some of the stuff that others have on their list and will probably consider adding a few more things like blankets, flares, jumper cables, etc...

 

Standard Emergency kit with DC air compressor, jumper cables, tools, etc in a nice canvas bag; the lugnut lock key, and tire jack.....oh and a rolled up puzzle of Washington DC...don't know why that is still in there

If I am traveling to the units I supervise and am taking problem cases back to my officers, I will stash them in the "Hole" along with my work laptop

 

This is a list of what I keep in my luggage storage box:

*BAGS have many uses: storing water, emergency ponchos, shelter, etc.
*CANDLES -for light & heat (and wax has many uses.)
*STEEL WOOL can be used to help start a fire with a match or touching it to a battery.
*WATCHES –The time of day isn’t so important; better to know how long of a walk from one place to another.

Most every thing in the luggage box compartment is in clear plastic boxes labeled and vacuum sealed. (My ammunition is in a small 1 hour fire-proof box - no cook off.)

if making a lot of trips over the Cascades, it would make sense. a lot of nothing on most of I-90

might not be a bad idea if she was stuck behind this

The piece of the new Tacoma Narrows bridge that has been stranded at the Idaho-Washington border for the past two weeks could start moving again as early as Monday, but when it does, it’s going to be a long, slow trip.....

The trucks will take up two lanes and travel at 15 to 20 mph all the way across the state on Interstate 90, over Snoqual-mie Pass, then down Interstate 5 and onto Highway 16 – a trip likely to take four days.

 

Nothing.... Yet. Only 1 month in, so I'm sure as time goes on I'll find stuff to put in there.

What's the weight of that lot? What's the bible for? Does it mention a Prius?

 

The only things a man needs in an emergency.

1 .45 automatic.
2 boxes of ammunition.
4 days concentrated emergency rations.
1 drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills.
1 miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible.
100 dollars in rubles.
100 dollars in gold.
9 packs of chewing gum.
1 issue of prophylactics.
3 lipsticks.
3 pairs of nylon stockings.

I'm ready for anything.

But what about your precious bodily fluids?

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(phidauex @ Mar 31 2007, 12:21 PM) [snapback]415529[/snapback]</div>

So the lipstick and the nylons are for the black market when you run out of Rubbles Ha Ha!!!!!

 

What lower luggage compartment? Now I'll have to go look. You had to make me go out again in the cold drizzle?
