Pat is amazing dude. One of those guys that just gets to the point and effectively communicates his message. Some guys try to belittle others that don’t know but Pat obviously loves to teach and share knowledge. I appreciate that.

The consistent enthusiasm and work ethic this guy has for teaching others and helping people is just amazing.

So because of your video way back when on how to prep your to go bag for hours not days. It actually came to fruition when my car took a shit on me in north Alaska. I was in the middle of nowhere between eagle River and fairbanks. Thank God I had watched your vid cause I managed to stay warm for the night in my car in sub par temp. Bottom line, thanks sgt major. Saving lives with nothing but views.

Nice! I have SUV’s so I keep all that stuff in a Rubbermaid tote in the very back. I got sick of it sliding around on the Weathertech floor liner so used adhesive Velcro to keep it stable. Works great for me.

The hi-viz vest is a thing. A couple of weeks ago, we had a major storm roll through (tornado, record softball sized hail, then heavy FOG based on a temp inversion). While rolling south on the highway to get to my son, I saw a police car wrecked in water-filled ditch. Threw on the vest, jumped into the ditch, and went to work. Trooper and ambulance rolled up and immediately went to work WITH me no questions asked because of that hi-viz vest.

Love it! I carry much the same. As a former firefighter, please consider adding a fire extinguisher.

I never understood adults who literally run around on an empty tank of gas most of the time.

Have the hi-viz vests where driver and passengers can get at them whilst seated and don them before leaving the vehicle. A folding warning triangle that you can place 200 yards back down the highway from your vehicle gives added protection when at the roadside.

Pat Mac…. Have you had the opportunity to look into the DECKED system for your truck? It definitely hands some storage and security additions.

Something else I carry in my vehicles is backup flash lights! Easy to have them dropped in the door! Also! 3 quarts of engine oil, spare oil filter, 1 gallon of antifreeze (not the 50/50 mix) along with a gallon of water for the car. I also have JB Weld... always carry a good pair of needle nose pliers. If you have a stick, object go through your radiator, you can use then the crimp the damaged tubes and keep going. 😉 done that more than once! The spare coolent I used just yesterday! Cousin's radiator was low due to a leaking water pump!

The tidbit everyone is waiting for is at 3:13 ; Mr Mac says " sometimes I travel with an AR ..."

Most of my kit matches Mac's. But one thing I've done for both mine and my wife's kits is specific colored bandanas. we both have an understanding that if for any reason we have to go to foot. The bandana comes out and goes on our heads. If either of us have to alert emergency services for the other we can tell them with confidence to look for that garment.

Thank you for the info! Might I suggest securing that shovel. That would be a nasty item to have flying around in a role over accident.

I drive an old diesel junker truck. 100 gallon auxiliary fuel cell and an job box on my flatbed filled with cable, tow straps and chain, and chainsaw, axe, oils, tarps, and some tools, and tire chains.

Excellent. I also carry a can of radiator stop leak.

Funny that Pat bought one of those shovels. I used to see KZread ads for it all the time and always thought it was gimmicky.

P-Mac the man,the myth, the legend!!!!!

Awesome kit Sir. Ever thought about adding a good folding saw like one from Silky? I've deployed that from my vehicle twice now to deal with trees across a roadway.

Ordered a high vis traffic vest today because of this. I’m a cop and have one in my patrol bag but that doesn’t go everywhere with me so now I’ll have one

Buy a few rolls of bailing wire (tie wire for union rod busters) (rebar guys). One in the garage and one in the truck.

Pat, if you power that compressor through an auxiliary power port, add some spare fuses for the circuit. If you power it direct from the battery, still add some spare fuses lol!

@michaelnuttall5896

You think that is necessary to have the spare fuses in the vehicle? I guess so as some have upvoted your comment, something to look into then. Surely you use it, when home brief inspection and then back in the car it goes. Or inspection before every long trip.

Always pack your car for your environment too. When I was lived in the NE, I always had a shovel and kitty litter during the winters. Great video Pat! Thank you!

I am only missing chest seal I think. But I was taught to put the plastic packaging from my military bandage over a sucking chest wound in basic training.

I keep a gallon of either distilled or mineral water in my truck too, both for emergency drinking water but also for the Radiator (I also carry an extra gallon of antifreeze). Glad that you brought up the shovel tool at caveat, definitely something important to have especially in regions that get a lot of snow, I also have a wood axe in my truck (lots of tree downs in my state during winter and bad weather). Good stuff!

Great collection of supplies! I usually have a high-lift jack. Maybe because of where I live. Also, road flares and I carry marine smoke cans. While the smoke is orange, I carry them.

I am thinking this is overkill but what do I have in my car? A pocket knife, cheap screwdriver kit, tire iron and a small axe 😂 Loving the Sentinel book! 😄

Thank you

I've plugged a lot of tires and would suggest upgrading your tire repair kit to something like an ARB or similar. The handles like to pop off of the cheap ones when you need them most. Also be aware of things inside the cab becoming a projectile in the event of a crash.

Just a suggestion, there is a company called FireAde that makes a small foam fire extinguisher that prevents reignition of oil/fuel about the size of a large soda can.

That heavy stuff should be secured in the event of an accident and it flying into your head. Also bolt cutters are a great thing to carry

Enjoyed the video - thank you for the recommendations. Question about the water - how long do you suggest the water will keep inside a vehicle? I'm sure it depends on climate, but wasn't sure if it got to the point of not being safe to drink - obviously in a pinch its good enough. If you are ever considering a truck bed cover - please consider the Diamondback - I added one to my 2020 Tundra, and I don't see myself ever owning another truck without one. It gives your entire bed waterproof lockable security.

Pat I see you're a Toyota guy and I appreciate it.

Get a ram with ram boxes. Never have to put stuff in the cab again. Easy access, secure (as good as the cab) and can fit tons of junk.

Solid loadout. Probably should throw a few calories in there. Maybe paracord and a tarp as well. I actually work in a garage, your explanation of plugs and the reason why most garages frown on them is spot on. 99.9% of the time they work as intended. Nobody should feel nervous about using them as long as you're NOT putting them in the sidewalls. That's a big no no. Sidewalls don't have the steel reinforced belts like the traction surface. If you have a damaged sidewall, the spare tire or a replacement tire is your next step. Thanks for the vid brother!
