Default Locked out of my truck

So I'm in a pickle.
Forgot my colourmorph halos on overnight so my truck is dead.
So dead that I can't even unlock it with my fob or use the keypad to do so.
And lucky me, my key doesn't work in the door.
Does anybody know what I could do to get into my truck or at least pop the hood?
It's a 2006 Lariat, has a billet grill if that makes any difference for opening the hood

Need to slim Jim it. Advance auto they are $8! That's about the only way I can think of. Unless you can get ahold of the hood cable but you need to get the actual cable itself not the black sleeve

I'm unfortunately out at camp right now so nothing remotely close that I could walk to.
Potentially have a buddy coming by later today to come pop it open for me

That would be your best bet. Unless you feel like breaking a window. Need to get a key that will unlock the doors and put it in a lock box under the bed rail or somewhere just for this reason

WOW, a dead battery and no key... You are in a pickle. The slim-jim is your best shot. Good Luck.

Sorry to here that dude, I once let me truck Warm up and I must have locked the doors on the way out. So I went over to the dealer with truck still running lol and got a key cut that just opens the doors was only a couple bucks just bring in your vin and they should be able to make you a key. I know this won't help you since your at camp but thought I would share anyway.

Local law enforcement may be able to help. Some don't do lockouts though so you'd have to call and find out.

Lock frozen maybe? try dipping your key in some antifreeze. sometimes they dont feel frozen even though they actually are.

Check your auto insurance, some companies open locked cars as part of the policy.

What if, you put a battery charger or jump pack to the starter lead, then go punch in your code on the keypad?
