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.
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.
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.
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.
1:24000 topo maps will give you better detail if you need to go on foot. You can also download them onto your phone, which is fine until your battery dies.
One thing to note about dash cams that record to SD cards is that they require a high quality card. The cheap ones burn out and the camera might not even alert for it.
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.
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!
@@ZaidIsm007 I used to work as a mechanic (10 years) and raced off road trucks. As an overand explorer we have done some crazy stuff with our vehicles. Those 3 quarts of oil can save you! Even if you loose all your engine oil, and you can plug or fix the leak, you can keep going on 3 quarts!
@@armisteadlucascolemanii7256 I've got the coolant, now I need the oil and filter. I always have multiple flashlights with me or in my truck at all times. Multitool for all kinds of options too.
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.
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, 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!
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.
Serious question 🙋♂️. What do you do when you get pulled over by a cop. As a law abiding citizen I would feel uneasy having the ammunition bag and AR.
Man, next thing im buying is dashcam/rear facing can. DUI driver just wrecked my 1998 k1500 z71 truck, killed a passenger, naturally had ZERO insurance. Cops sadly didnt bother confirming his residence not the lack of insurance. Id been thinking of whether the camera is worth it or not for maybe 3 months prior. Get ya a dashcam, make sure the resolution is good, prepare for HD storage of the video recorded. Dont lose due to others incompetence.
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! 😄
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.
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.
Keeping your limo topped off can't be said enough times. Keeping another 5 or 10 or just 1 or 2 gallons at home could make the difference between crisis and inconvenience. S2 Underground channel here on the 'tube has a good video about that. The all electric guys are laughing at me...
Damn Pat, that video title image looks like a worn out Norway flag. Beautiful country but i have some bad artic training memories from that country. I’m sure you can attest.
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 carry a head torch and spare bulbs. I don't live in a warzone or anywhere so dangerous that I would ever feel the need for an assault rifle and mini armory. Probably wouldn't even if I lived in Syria or Ukraine. This is not a normal way to live and yet most Americans think this is normal
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.
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
I’m glad to see that you have one of those little “battle shovels “. I will be ordering one now. Been wondering if they were just gimmicky or not. Much love Pat🤙🏻
That’s why I live these videos from TH-camrs. If you trust the person you can make purchases for your kits. Beats wasting money on buying stuff that isn’t worth it.
Doesn't necessarily mean "it's good to go." It means "he thought it was cool and hasn't broken it yet." It's not a tool I would buy, but if it stands up to real use for a few years, I will admit I was wrong.
@@woodsghost9088 Agreed. When they first came out they were a pretty solid Chinese product (oxymoron?). But, then other Chinese companies started making them while cutting corners and sacrificing quality. So, the chances of getting a good one now is slim to none.
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!
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.
Simple. Nothing fancy. Fantastic. From days gone by I really like a pair of coveralls or a newfangled Tyvek suit in case I need to do some work and not get dirty. Great content.
Screw the kits and whatnot inside, whats the vehicle? Looks like a Tacoma TRD something model. Why no bedliner? Why no bed cover? Doesn't the tacoma come with an outlet in the bed? Plan on ever using that if so? Push bumper in the front? Extra lights on the vehicle anywhere? Modified extra loud horn installed? Assuming that's a v6 automatic? Got any lift or special tires on there? If you could replace it with a different car, what would it be and why? Badass video Pat, make more!
Neither was prepping for a lockdown. I covered that in 2018. You know what people said? "Bro really………. I respect what you did as a soldier, but come on bro, this shit is ridiculous, it’s not the movies."
Pat Mac doesn't prepare for emergencies - emergencies prepare for Pat Mac.

I heard once Pat Mac was bitten by a diamondback, after 2 days a excruciating pain... the snake died.
Pat Mac is a Founding Father of Countries that he has never even been to.
I love the fact that this isnt about the brand of gear but more about what the gear's for.
I never understood adults who literally run around on an empty tank of gas most of the time.
Irresponsible and unprepared
LOL I was looking at the thumbnail, wondering why Pat carries a Norwegian flag in his car 😂
I was pretty confused as well haha

One thing to note about dash cams that record to SD cards is that they require a high quality card. The cheap ones burn out and the camera might not even alert for it.
Pat Mac…. Have you had the opportunity to look into the DECKED system for your truck? It definitely hands some storage and security additions.
Love it! I carry much the same. As a former firefighter, please consider adding a fire extinguisher.

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.
Oh yes... it is crazy how many things you think are secure suddenly become flying objects!
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.
Have to agree on that! The ARB unit is great!
Can confirm. Got in a crash at 70 mph and my phone smacked me in the mouth from the cup holder. That hurt worse than the crash
What is a ARB?
@@Alaska610ish ARB is a company that makes off road products
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.
Vest and leather gloves under the seat in every vehicle.
I would definately tie down that sharpened shovel to something. In case of a rollover that thing will be flying all over the place.
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!

You’re quickly becoming my spirit animal so to speak... Basic dude stuff!!!
Squad Up. Are the cameras factory or a modification?.
I go to my county and bordering county visitor areas and have county maps. More detailed.
Damn,Pat. Where do you live? I’m in east central Illinois and basically Chicago voters just banned AR’s 🤬
About on par what I carry, I carry alot more recovery gear ( utah mountains).....oh,and 2 80lb + German shepherds!
What do you drive with when you enter Fayetteville city limits? Just curious 🤣🤣🤣
Serious question 🙋♂️. What do you do when you get pulled over by a cop. As a law abiding citizen I would feel uneasy having the ammunition bag and AR.
I’m guessing your loaded full size truck (4x4?) is not your daily driver, or you’d be frequenting the gas station almost daily.

Only bring one “sometimes”

In the thumbnail for this vid it looks like you're holding an oddly-colored Norwegian flag.
I only have a med kit, water, hydraulic jack, jumper cables and a hunting knife…i need to add more weapons.
Link to the shovel-'multitool', please?
That item looks pretty badass compared to most.
Thanks all, rock on!

University of kicking ass! It’s pretty simple

A lot of those multi tool shovels are crappy quality. I wonder if his is good stuff.

Assault bag…people watch too many movies.
My wife gives me shit for keeping maps and a phonebook in my vehicle.
All part of being the agent in charge of your personal protection detail
Only thing I would add is a dog leash and a small bag of beef jerky. Gotta save the lost dogs from getting hit on the highway
What make is that active shooter bag? I’ve been looking for one like that.
I'd love to know if you recommend a type or brand of dashcam
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
