Help stock, build the OSTS truck.

A penny stove

I have an Esbit Pocket Stove, a Primus Express Stove as well as a smaller candle emergency light/heat/stove as well :D

Rotopax Spare gas/storage

I looked at those for mounting to the sides of a "chase truck" rack. I'm still debating this or Sceptors in a rack.

LED light bar for coolness

For sure! After seeing the difference they make over regular head lights...... I need!

I have one of the Motomaster Nautilus's that I've actually used multiple times on a few vehicles as well as for emergency lighting, boiling kettles, charging electronics.

Any of these systems I highly recommend if there is room in a persons vehicle.

Good call.



Have a couple, from general purpose to tourniquets/quick clot/gauze etc.



I'll have to look at those, good call.



Got one of the singles. We sell them in the store and I love them!!



Got a few lights, so not sure I could add another or replace one I have.



It's up a couple inches with 35's so I think I'm going to stay that way for awhile. (possibly :D)


Here's the updated pic with a bit more organization.







Here's the hawk




Here's a size comparison pic :D

Hey is that a thrunite tn31 flashlight i see in there ?

Not sure what rear end you have but take a look at detroit truetrac differentials . They are worth every penny spent.

You need a Dodge Ram 2500

So the Suzuki XL7 has been retired and GMC 1500 Sierra is now taking over :D

So what do I need to add besides a wrap and dillion?

I'm thinking bumpers front and rear and cargo draws in the back as well as possibly a "chase truck" style rack with light bars or might put the cap on. Need gas storage somewhere and thinking of mounting to the sides of the rack behind the cab.




The new OSTS truck has under seat storage. Lots of gear fit, now to organize into bags/pouches.

What do you carry with you and what should I make sure I have with me?

Concerns I have are going off the road in remote areas, having to leave my area due to train derailment or other and unforeseen issues when travelling or having to leave my area with short notice. Also long days at outdoor trade shows/ranges/matches.

Some things I do have:

Lights
Fire Starters/stoves
Water and purifiers
Survival blankets and a siltarp
Blades and tomahawk
Dried food, bars, granola, tea, coffee and drink mixes
Survival kit
Duct tape
Siphon
Med kits

There are other smaller items as well.

Truck stuff includes:

Tow strap
Air compressor/tire repair
Fluids
Some tools

What else should go in the truck?

I am enjoying following this thread. I wouldn't mind if you opened up all your pouches and showed us what was inside each

[sherlockbonez]

I didn't read through the whole thread, but you will most likely need food and water before a tomahawk.

[lakermetal]

Darren, this is all you need in any situation you could come across , trust me.

I'll say it again because no one took notice...

Delorme Inreach SE satellite communicator.

Allows you to send AND receive SMS messages to/from a mobile phone or a computer (via email) from almost anywhere on earth using the Iridium satellite network. Plans are dirt cheap and features an SOS function that will directly alert the monitoring center, who in turn contact the appropriate local emergency service provider (Search and rescue, RCMP etc).

Close to Sat phone functionality at a tiny fraction of the price!

Saw that and started looking into it

Yup, have food, some water (more will be added) and multiple sizes of filters.

I plan to as soon as the weather is a bit nicer and I have a bit of free time. Hopefully soon.

The big one in the truck is an RC40 that I can recharge in the truck or through my solar panel.
