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?

[KyFried]

Cordless impact for fast tire change.
Cordless drill with bits and nut drivers just to keep around camp along with a bag of screws, nuts, and bolts.
Too much other stuff to list some might say we over prepare, but there were some years. We forgot to even take a spare tire go figure.

Blaring something like this from boat speakers

“I got a good deal on it. It was only $40k and he let me have the Yeti cooler, too.”

Those free yetis are irresistible! Works great with boats. Looking back at that post again if he were to add a little bag of white powder he'd have the classic Houston guy starter kit.

Where am i going? I rent a truck to do the 30+ hr runs each way. Typically have straps, come along, and some way to anchor come along.

Carry all kinds of stuff folks think as “extra” like air pump on day to day trips to work.

Don’t have them at home, but a guilty pleasure in the field!

Fix it sticks. Gun cleaning kit.
I do some much random maintenance on my friend's guns while we are in the field, everyone makes fun of me for packing the stuff - till their barrel is packed full of mud and they are looking for a stick to whittle down..

I wanna watch somebody cut this bitch with a handsaw

From the looks of it. You wouldn’t get much further even if you did bring the 661.

Audiobooks and snacks

As a Houston kid, that's inaccurate.

A bottle of cough syrup would also be acceptable.

Well we wont know until we cut it out now will we....

Get R Done and post pics of the rounds!
Love me the big ones just off the ground drying not rotting!

As others have said...a small chainsaw...more so in case I spend days up high and on way down encounter a freshly fallen tree over the road blocking me from getting out.

 

[Tmoore19]

Heavy Zip ties, and duct tape.

So far the few items that saved me were a jack, gas can, air compressor, socket set, and a jump box. Also make sure you can get your spare down and it has air in it too!

 

[Matt_C]

good stuff guys! Thanks for all the input so far

And take an Impact and appropriate socket for your lugs. That will save you a ton of time being on the side of the road with cars/truck whizzing by at a very high rate of speed.

I have 5 on my truck but I've stop to help guys with 8 (F250 and AT4) and it made the time on the road with cars whizzing by a good bit shorter. At least everyone of them Thanked the heck out of me for stopping after I used the impact to spin those lug nuts off. I've also stopped on SR206 ( a fair bit of lonely road here in Texas) on an average 101 degree day to change womens car tires. So, I think it helps.

 

[Trial153]

Full size spare on a matching rim, a bottle jack and cordless impact wrench

We haul a lot of different trailers year round and some of them can be difficult. I had an old pontoon barge I built from scratch and the toons sat outside of the trailer tires, impact for that was worth it's weight in gold on the side of the road trying to reach under the toon without much clearance. If I had to use a tire iron I'd be laying underneath the damn thing turning every lug maybe 1/8 turn at a time.
