I have a pretty heavily modified Jeep so I'm practically required to keep what seems like a hundred pounds of tools and gear with me all the time. haha. I also rent a lot of rental cars and I have zero faith that those are well maintained so I treat my car kit as my security blanket. It's always with me. Most of the recommendations here in the comments are really good and useful. I'll add a few of my own just in case you hadn't thought of it. First, I'm glad to see you using a hard box. It's going to be much easier to find what you're looking for as opposed to using a bag of some sort. And you know you're going to be using this kit in at 11:00 at night in the pouring rain so anything to make that a little less stressful will go a long way. In the event that you need to pay someone for their services and you don't have any cash on you, that Milwaukee box could probably double as currency. For gear, I agree that a tire plug kit is essential and really cheap. Harbor Freight sells one but this is one thing I wouldn't skimp on. I picked up one from Boulder Tools on Amazon and it comes in a nice thin hard case. You'll also want a tire inflator of some sort. I have onboard air on my Jeep but I just picked up an M18 Milwaukee inflator that has gotten some really good reviews. If you haven't considered a blanket to keep your pants dry if you have to change a tire in the rain, I have both a moving blanket and a tarp from HF. You mentioned it and a few commenters did as well but a battery jumper like the NoCo is a 100%. During Covid when no one left their house for a year, my son's, who was almost an entire state away from us, battery in his practically brand new car ran out and left him stranded a few times until we got the alternator replaced. Thankfully, we had sent him off to college with a NoCo and it got him going every time. That thing is a life saver when there's no one around to give you a jump. Plus I don't trust people to do it properly anyway. I don't remember if you mentioned a light but having a good headlamp and a good light with a magnet will come in handy. I have the small square foldable Milwaukee with the round battery and we bought my son the Ryobi version. Both excellent lights with tons of output and you can charge them in your car if you need (or with your NoCo :D). Then the typical socket sets, wrenches, kinetic tow straps, 4-way tire iron (Craftsman makes a compact one that condenses down to a single bar that's really nice and saves a lot of space). It's not a bad idea to keep some extra belts and fluids with you either. I got caught in a winter storm in NW Arkansas a few years ago and ran out of washer fluid and all the gas stations wanted like $20 for a jug. I also keep a handful of old towels with me. Those probably get more use than anything else. Also those latex gloves from HF are always useful to have around. I'll stop with this one .. if you find yourself able to help someone else out of a ditch, make sure you know how to use your tow strap properly (use a round kinetic strap with soft shackles, etc) and always remember that no good deed goes unpunished ... meaning make sure you don't mess up your own truck in the process. Lots can go wrong with transmissions, drive shafts, differentials, etc if you aren't careful, and make sure you attach to the other vehicle in the proper spot. You certainly don't want to be responsible for ripping someone's bumper off. Anyway man, tanks for the video and opportunity to share our gear setups. Stay safe out there.
Nice recommendation, I'm going to check the first aid kit I bought for the truck, if it doesn't have it, it's getting added. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!!
I always have a kit in my car. very similar to yours. try adding a plug kit to plug a tire in a emergency. thanks for the content. remember safety is always priority!
Hey Philly did you subscribe to be entered? I saw you used the word and I want to make sure you get entered if you intended to. TH-cam may be slow in updating subscribers but I will track it real time.
With all the electronics in these trucks, I would shy away from hooking up jumper cables. I myself have one of those small jump boxes. These things work great. I have jumped off V8 engines that the battery was completely dead.
I started building my “SAFETY” kit for my truck as well. TOPDON jump box Tow strap. Gloves Safety vest 1/2” drive Flip sockets for multiple size lug nuts. My older Ryobi 1/2” impact driver. Just missed the HF sale on off road jack but will add that later this summer. Great video.
Nice, getting ready just in case. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay tuned for more!!! Question, I saw you entered the keyword but did you subscribe? It may be lagging behind but I wanted to make sure.
Id add a ratchet with sockets, wire strupper with crimper, extra fuse, toilet paper or wipes, and a portable battery bank. Also a smaller pair of slip joint pliers. get most thing done with the knipex 150 or 180 size Cobras, as the 250 are too big in a lot of use cases.
Man, you are all over it on this! The sockets are on the bottom of the Packout box (shhhh, I was saving that for the next video). The wire strippers are a great suggestion and I will add those for sure. Gives me an excuse to replace my old ones in my tool box. Fuses and an alternative to a power bank is going to be in the next video as well. Thanks for the tips, for watching and stay tuned for more!!
They make portable car starter + air compressor combos. I have an older version by Mophie but it’s identical to the current Halo Bolt Air+ models on Amazon. The one thing most people forget is to keep it charged. Easiest thing I do is on Father’s Day and Christmas, keep it topped off. Also I recommend a tire plug kit. About $15 for a small all in one kit. Good video overall!
Thanks for the tips! I will add the plug kit and look into the start/air compressor. Right now I have a Fanntik X8 that I really like so I'm a little conflicted adding something else but I'll definitely take a look. Thanks for the feedback and watching, stay tuned for more!
I also have an emergency kit in my truck. In addition to what you have I also Have: Tire inflator/Jump pack, Set of craftsman open end wrenched and 8/3 ratchet set, screw drivers, extra pair of shoes ( if yours get wet), toilet paper, plastic bags and blanket. For Fun I have a packout with binoculars, drone with camera, bottle opener, corkscrew plastic cups etc. Nice video.
Man, you have truly "packed out". I may take some stuff from this list for sure. Do golf shoes count as extra shoes? :) Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more.
Oh man, rough situation if that’s needed but a valid point. I think when/if I build my camping kit it’ll definitely be in there. Thanks for watching and stay tuned.
This is a juug. You title it massive emergency kit unboxing..... then save half of the items to pull out of their packaging until a future video. Show the full kit in one video, dang Geo.
I appreciate the feedback, I was short on time before my trip. The next video will have this stuff plus some more (that I will completely open :) )so stay tuned!!
