What "prepper stuff" do you keep in your truck?
My F150 is quickly becoming my daily driver while my wrangler on 37's enjoys the garage. The Jeep is outfitted for the apocalypse, but now I'm more likely to have something go wrong while I'm out with the F150.
So far I have a Du-ha rear seat storage with:
jumpers, tow strap, shackles, cargo straps, tool satchel with the basics, tire plug kit, portable air compressor.
Center console has a first aid kit, paper towels, change, flash light, portable CB radio, bug spray, sun screen, and a lighter.
What else? Thinking just now I need more water bottles and maybe a couple of MRE's and cliff bars.

I camp, hike, and backpack a lot so there's always associated stuff in my Decked Drawer set. Daypack, water bladders, snacks, alcohol stove and cook-set, coffee, clothes, trail stuff. If it's hunting season ammo and a rifle. Maybe not "prepper stuff" but enough to get me thru several days. One item in particular is always there but I hope to never use it PLB Beacon I spend a lot of time in the boonies especially solo wilderness canoeing. KM

Well I guess my definition of "prepper" in this case is being ready for a breakdown or helping someone out, or handling a situation where I have to spend a night out. We do a lot of camping out in the middle of nowhere in southern Florida. But usually we either have the camping gear or our little camper trailer with us. It never hurts to plan though.
I was once at a major cub scout event and NOBODY had a lighter so the archer could light the ceremonial "arrow of light". What an embarrassment for 100 scouts and adults all looking at each other. I ran to my fully outfitted jeep, went through every bag, container, and compartment and didn't have a lighter either. Sheesh. Now I have 2 in each vehicle.

I keep my cellphone with me so I can call roadside assistance.

I tried that with a dead battery on Thanksgiving in my Jeep. Road side assist wouldn't even answer the phone. I ended up walking 1/2 mile to a k-mart and carried a new battery all the way back.
I would love to have one of the lithium-ion jump boxes, but when I read the 1 star reviews they seem like keeping a ticking firebomb in the truck. No thanks.

Only thing I have is a large folding knife, in case I needed to cut a seat belt.
My brother on the other hand, retired 20 year Army vet, carries guns, ammo, water, MRE's, blanket, knives, pretty much anything he would need to live a while all alone, and kill anything that needed kill'en.
