Packing the truck for the first time

I should clarify, the extreme cold sleeping bag is only for emergencies.

 

I would suggest a 6x8 tarp, never know when you may have to lay on the ground to bang on a frozen trailer brake or look for damage after catching a gator

 

A rubber mallet,a hammer and a can of PB Blaster- cause you never know when you may have to make sure the locking pins on your trailer tandems can disengage so you can slide the tandems.

 

Duct tape... The good kind too like gorilla tape. I watched a video on yt the other night this lady broke down in a seedy area because the air hose to her trailer was leaking a hole rubbed into it leaking all of the air out. I bet a bunch of wraps of duct tape over the hole would have held to get her to a safer area to get it repaired right.

 

Most useful thing in my truck is my cooler.
Those taco things you made may be yucky by the time you eat em. Those flour tortillas don't keep well vacuum or no vacuum.
I'd lose the bolt cutters. I just keep a few basic tools plus a quarter inch drive torx bit set. Alot of the screws on my truck are torx. I use it quite a bit as my truck shakes a bit. lol

 

PB blaster, duct tape, gorilla glue were the first basics, i believe the OP knew that. . . those come before food and clothing here. Hammers and torque's too. Rubber hammer = mallet = bare bones necessary. Good info tho, in case she overlooked.

 

I ditched my wallet years ago. This is all I carry. Little cash, drivers license , one credit card. Lightweight titanium clip lol
