Basically,my survival gear is always in my pick up truck.I tend to do a fair amount of
surveying in the
northern climates of our country, i never take it out.Fortunately when i drive around
looking for rural
landscapes and wildlife,i dont have to remember to pack it.lol
I usually have:
boots
snacks
cell
maps(yes surveyors ar the worst for getting lost)
first aid
emergency #'s like tow truck,police etc
jack all
truck and body fluids
GPS
etc etc
