Guys - great post. From experience though, I can tell you that at least one of those two extinguishers is too small. For the back, at least a 4kg (not sure what that is in the US) is required. We used to mount 2 kg extinguishers front and back as you’ve shown. We had an incident, helping another motorist put out a vehicle fire and our 2 kg was way too small. Needed a 4 kg. I know you can’t carry the “kitchen sick” and have to weigh up probability of use etc (the old saying, something is better than nothing) but vehicle fires in particular can flare very very quickly. Not sure if you can get them in the US, but try looking at the fire safety stick. A great piece of kit and you can carry quite a few. Re first aid kits, I carry a trauma kit mounted behind the driver or front passenger head rest. A slightly bigger camp kit can always be carried in the back as you’ve shown. the problem with that is you always have to get out of the car and this cannot be reached from inside if your truck is fully loaded. Just some thoughts. Great post.
Ahhh yes another edition of free entertainment. Love it! Seriously I enjoy your vids. Add a tourniquet and splint with some extra straps to your med kits please, you won't regret it. Just some friendly advice. Keep up the great vids!
