one word of caution for battery powered stuff, especially if it lives in the truck - including gun optics - batteries don’t live as long in high heat.

I find it simpler to just bring my wife. she carries pretty much everything known to man in one of her 2 purses and if there’s a trip involved, there’s a 5 bag minimum... for HER.

Great to have a caddy haha

I’m good tho-truck is garaged, I’m in Canada eh and I use iron sights.

Just kidding. Sometimes I clear out the rig and just have the basics in there. If I know I’m gonna be doing some work, I’ll keep the tools in the Raptor.

12 gauge Mossberg laying on the rear floor board and 4 shells in the door cup holder.
First aid kit and my work tools. Oh, and a clean dry pair of socks (very useful) in the console and an extra pair of shoes in the bed under the bed cover. lol

I keep most of the same stuff you guys mentioned, rags, ratchet straps, couple small hand tools.

I also have this little guy hidden under the seat, works amazingly well. Great for when traveling or in emergencies. (Assuming you don’t have an alternate off road set up.)

How's that do inflating 35s? I like to air down off-road to 25, then need to add 10 back to each tire when done.

I realize I moved into my truck a little over a month ago, but because COVID means we don't go anywhere I haven't fully outfitted my interior.

I have a manbag that is pretty kitted out that stays with me, and want to do the same with the raptor console/back seat.

What things do you guys keep as 'essential' supplies in your console? So far I've got:

phone chargers/cables/adapters and backup battery pack
noco 2000a jump box
first aid kit
box of baby wipes
micro fibers and napkins
extra paper mask
extra cloth mask
I've debated dedicating a full time pistol to the locked center console - but I don't want to risk a break-in and put one more on the street.
several ratchet straps [in the bed for now, till I get an underseat bin]

What am i missing? I'll edit this list and put them below:
I put a tuffy front center consul locking box in. Great for CCW!
Had a rear one in my Gen 1, great for AR. Still looking for one I like on my Gen 2.

Wow, you guys are way more prepared than me.....

But, I have a few essentials, Remington tac13, LMT AR w/3BetaC mags, point blank entry vest w/ceramic plates, 2 glock 23’s, 1 glock 22, 10 extra mags, in the bed I have a backup gun, ruger alaskan, .454 casull w/3speed loaders.

I have a few benchmade knives throughout the truck as well, but no spare food, just first aid....
