One may wish to stage the TQ so that it will be faster to secure around a leg or arm. Pull the strap out maximum slack. Take the lip that is marked with red and just barely close the lip over on the velcro. Then fold the excess back into he footprint of the TQ accordion-style and keep the timestamp strip folded back out of the way of the windlass. It'll save someone a few seconds in trying to get the thing around an arm or leg and less tedious too.

Nice gear and awesome mounting options.

Gonna take a look at that tool bag you've got as that would save a lot of spaces that's taken up in hardcases for me. My favorite mod of yours is that holster setup. I've been playing around with some center console options and so far like have my gun in its CCW holster, but don't like that it's basically a two handed draw as it isn't attached to anything. Looks like I can use a modified version of your setup to fix that, so thanks for sharing!

Hi Artro. Thanks for watching and your feedback. Yes there are pros and cons to the way I have mine mounted. Like using a safety (which I do not) you have to train on what has to occur when the need arises. I have trained quite a bit and feel that if ever the time comes that I need to draw from the center console quickly, my stress level will probably be very high, and this is when mistakes can be made. Keeping the holster with the weapon until it is in a more manageable position is my preference. Drawing in a vehicle is much more challenging than drawing from a holster on your side. But everyone has to find what works for them. Good luck and be safe.

Well, somebody finally brought up the elephant in the room lol. It’s awesome that some of you take being prepared seriously but some of the people in these communities crack me the hell up 😂🤣 your among one of the few who actually show some useful things 👍 It’s taken several years of responding to enough emergencies that you start to ditch the ridiculous or expensive gear and go back to basics. Especially when you buy the high dollar 💵 gear but the emergency is no where near your gear and you have to get creative like making a make shift tourniquet with a spare t-shirt and tightening it down with a stick or screwdriver🪛. I’ve used more rolls of paper towels or bath towels to slow or stop massive bleeding 🩸 because it was quicker and just as effective and getting patient packaged transported ASAP was more important then putting a pretty bow on it. Remember: Men of action have been responding to emergencies long before Molle webbing, YKk zippers, piss filtration straws, and whatever other goofie 💩 people are packing now in days. Don’t be that guy who has everything in their vehicle to fight a small war but can’t tighten down a screw or do some other basic task because your waifu pretend gf can and will bang the guy you call to come fix the sink 🚰 because you know everything about a weapon system but not her plumbing 😉 And for all the Toilet paper 🧻 hoarding of 2020 you would think more people would show a roll.

RG Thanks for watching!

This is probably the best truck setup I have seen. I hate seeing the “Tacti-cool” truck setups that have “8 Ar15’s, 15 handguns, and 50,000 rounds of ammunition” and don’t have something simple like a car jack or a rain jacket. I have definitely had more flats and caught in the rain more than I have been in a gun fight

BC 556 Thanks for watching and your comments. You nailed it! When you start preparing your vehicle, home, etc, you should first focus on items that will assist you with events that are most likely to occur and then work from there. Thanks again.

I have the same truck and this gives me some good inspiration for my truck edc. Great video. Those pressurized water tanks are a game changer👍

Got some great ideas for my rig! Thanks for the walk through! Something you might consider: take the plastic wrap off of your TQ. Last thing you want to be doing if you ever have to use that thing is be fumbling around with that wrapper.

Hi Motoscout. Thanks for watching and your comments. The TQ was actually taken out of the plastic shortly after the video was published but YT will not allow edits. Glad I was able to help you with your set up. Good luck!

Man. Really great practical but serious set up!

Great video! Love your setup! As a Paramedic I would recommend taking out the CAT tourniquet out of the wrapping, if you need it in a stressful situation it can be hard to take out of the packaging, tourniquets don’t need to be sterile as they are not supposed to go on the actual wound!

Hi Emanuel. Thanks for watching. I actually removed the plastic about a week after publishing the video. I have also since taken a Trauma med course and highly recommend it!

Very nice truck and setup

Hey brother, great video and one thing comes to mind that is very small but very valuable to add is a Knipix Twin Key. Not only will it help you access H2O from buildings but it also has assorted keys used for accessing rooms/cages like electrical or plumbing or gas. The types of keys a janitor might carry or someone with building/plant maintenance.... perhaps this will help you. All the best.............. MP

Great setup. I’m sure it’s been mentioned, but I would suggest a second tourniquet in the front within reach. Also I would pull them out of the plastic. Have them ready if needed.

Thanks for watching. TQ in the front is a good idea. and yes I took the plastic off soon after the video was published. Thanks.

Awesome set up! One thing I’d recommend it’s nothing too much to worry but it would be nice to have is a strobe light for when you pull off to the side of the road you can always plug it in the cigarette light just to be able to be seen. I’d also recommend wet wipes for dirty hands, or hand sanitizer with how the world is now an day. Other than that awesome layout!

Thanks for watching Lisette! I actually discuss electronic road flares which have various light patterns you can use. These are a great visual at night. And yes, always have plenty of wet wipes and sanitizer. Thanks for your feedback!

If you have the room a small powered fridge can be had on Amazon for like 100 bucks, life saver to have in the bed of the truck for when you need it. Dometic makes great ones but even just a cheap small one is a really nice have for a truck. thanks for the cool video

Hi Brady. Thanks for watching and your feedback. I have been looking at both the Dometic and ARB units (especially now that I have a Jackery system). Also looking at a full bed slide for the set up. Ill produce a video once I have the set up completed.

High Steven. Thanks for watching. Yes, it is a tough call and a balance in being prepared while not asking for a thief to break into your truck. The one thing I do at times, is lower my back seats to hide what is attached when the vehicle is left unattended for a longer period of time.

Awesome. A lot of inspirarion from your video. Thanks for sharing.

One thing you can consider is a pair or rubber type surf or creek water slipper. Usually find them is the spring in sports shops. They are light and can be worn at the end of the day or when you want a moccasin type footwear. With a pair of socks, great for a quick camp or yard wear. Good driving moms as well. Keep them in goals and vehicles.

Hi Racker. Thanks for watching. Good idea. I have water shoes for hiking / camping but do not normally have them in the truck all of the time but would be a good addition. Thanks.
