Dang, some of you plan for Armageddon! If I packed all that, I’d have no room for the equipment I’m needing for the trip. LOL

I have one small bag that stays in my truck regardless of 5 mile trip or 500 mile trip. The only “special” things I do is check all four tire pressures and the spare.

Have you ever done a 3rd season elk hunt at over 10,000 feet? 60’s one day and 2 feet of snow the next. Miles and miles of crappy forestry roads. Your 30 to 50+ miles from any paved roads, No snow plowing or road maintenance of any type.

The O/P wasn’t asking for a check list to run up to the gas station that’s just down the street. When you start heading up to remote places that have ZERO cell service and your life can be at risk – common sense tells me to take 2-3 hours and give my life line a thorough check up.

Settle down Randy…Of course you bring appropriate GEAR with you pending the area…If you want to bring NAPA with you, that’s fine as well. I simply stated what I bring (yes-including my extreme remote hunts/fishing trips-not to the local Holiday but I’m sure you get your gas delivered or brew your own) and it typically is no more than any other road trip…minus gear.

Not everyone is as manly as you and shoots deer at 1000yrds (darn buck doe’s), has the tough decision on what reel out of $8000 of reels to choose from and drives a F-550 Limited Special Edition.

Sorry I blew up…LOL

Geez, you almost had it right. Lost it when you referred to a Ford. Anyone that knows anything about me knows I’m a hardcore GMC guy. Die-hard Duramax Guy. Best Ford I ever owned was the one I gave away.

Everyone’s over reacting. All a guy needs is a spool of parachord, roll of duct tape and 2 apps on your smart phone: Bear Grylls and Macgeyver. Nuff said.
