Guys that drive a long ways to hunt, what are your less common(but important) pieces of gear/tools you're sure to keep in the truck?

I'm surprised how few people list hand wipes. I always have some. And a few bottles of water. I rarely drink bottled water, but I always have a couple in the truck.

Change a tire or deal with something and it's nice to KNOW you can clean your hands drink some water.

Lots of great info here. But definitely something to wipe your butt with. I prefer paper towels as they are more abrasive than TP.

Man, I just rebuilt my trailer.

We leave in 2 weeks to head to Montana for our elk hunt. Its 400 miles to my friends house, then another 2040 miles to Montana from there. I'll put every bit of 5000 miles on my truck the last 2 weeks of September and first week of October. Our last trip in 2022 was smooth sailing with only stops for fuel and food.

My Tundra has a small lift and bigger tires and it dawned on me this morning, I should probably have a plug kit and small compressor available on such a long drive. I pretty much always have basic hand tools and a few power tools in my tool box, but those are two things I dont keep on hand that could really save a lot of time and hassle if the need were to come up.

Anything else that ya'll have taken that you were glad you did? I hate over packing, but I also like to make sure I'm covered.

Obviously have a great packing list, but it's primarily focused on gear, clothes, etc. Not so much emergency situations.

The tire plug thought I had this morning has me pondering if theres anything else I should keep in mind on such a long haul from home.

So, what did you take with? What items were worth it? Which items no so much?

I have about 90% of it under and behind my back seat.
