Your basic vehicle gear list before you go chasing critters away from town

[cwitt]

This is what I can think of off the top of my head. Probably because I can remember using all of these items and being glad to have them.

Starlink
Work Gloves
Couple bottles of water
Trauma/First Aid Kit
Battery Jump Starter
DeWalt Air Compressor (able to run off inverter or DeWalt battery)
Saw
Axe
Shovel
Crow Bar
Assorted Hand tools
Gorilla and Electrical tape
Zip Ties
Tie wire
Tire Plug Kit
Tire Slime
Tire Iron
Bottle Jack w/wood block
Come Along
Tow Strap w/ soft shackles
Bungees and Ratchet Straps
WD40
Regular Bath Towel
Wet Wipes
Plug-in work light
Extension Cord
Fire Extinguisher

All stored in a 3rd gen Tacoma behind/under the rear seat or in a regular Better Built tool box in the bed. One of the Plano sportsman totes fits well in the toolbox to keep some of those items a bit more organized and the dust off them.

Why do you need starlink?

Why do you need starlink?

Same reason I have a cell phone and an inreach. Safety, convenience, and peace of mind of being able to communicate. Been on plenty of hunts and road trips without cell service but Starlink is good everywhere. Full speed internet down the highway or back at camp. Clients also enjoy it.

I have mine on a removable roof mount. If the truck is on, it’s on.

I just make sure my spare tire is inflated and isn’t rusted into the undercarriage. Other than that, I’m focusing on hunting not worse case vehicle issues. Those I can usually deal with on the fly or pick up at a gas station or hardware store. I mean if your transmission goes, non of that crap is going to fix it anyway. I’m curious to what some of you have in your hunting packs? I’m guessing a bunch of this is generational. My father’s generation(boomers) is notorious for holding on to stuff they’ll never use. Their parents made it through the depression and passed some of that on to them. My cousins father passed a few years ago and we went up to his cabin to clean it up a bit. There was just so much shit that was held onto and never used! 5 gallon buckets of misc nuts and bolts, misc screws, vehicles in the woods that don’t run, old tvs and radios that didn’t work, appliances, you name it!!! Honestly, it is admirable, living in an age of such waste, that they were the opposite, yet there was apparently never enough time to get any of it done and it just builds up and sits! I’m trying not to get off topic, but these were the same fellas who packed the kitchen sink on hunting trips.
