Great setup. I’m sure it’s been mentioned, but I would suggest a second tourniquet in the front within reach. Also I would pull them out of the plastic. Have them ready if needed.
One Suggestion is take your Cat Tourniquet out of the wrapper and stage it so its ready when you need it. If your hands are bloody you will have a hard time opening it.
Plastic was remove a few days after the video was published. I have since taken training in medical trauma which I highly recommend for everyone. Thanks for watching!
Maxpedition Pistol Mount: amzn.to/2UHWpww It will adhere to loop velcro so you will need to buy adhesive backed velcro to stick to the surface that you want to mount it to. I applied three 2" strips about 4" long (one above the other) to form a 4" x 6" square and then the holder will mount to it and stay in place. Make sure you allow the adhesive enough time (over night) to set up before you stick to holder to it.

Some great ideas of things to have in your truck, but why does everything look brand new still? If you are not got to use it share the wealth. I am jealous though.
Hi Roland. Thanks for watching. Yes I did buy a few new items especially for the recovery gear setup. I didn't want to pull from my other gear (that I do not keep in the truck). Same with my tool bag video, I ended up buying a lot of new tools to keep from taking from the ones I keep in my tool boxes in the shop.
These are actually called "Quick Fist Clamps" with a riser mount. When I was videoing, the name escaped me ......... Yes, typically used in pairs for shovels, axes, etc. builtrightind.com/collections/bedside-rack-systems/products/builtright-industries-riser-mounts-pair-quick-fist-original
Hi Murph. Thanks for watching and your feedback. That has been a very popular request. I removed it a couple days following the release of this video. Thanks.
One may wish to stage the TQ so that it will be faster to secure around a leg or arm. Pull the strap out maximum slack. Take the lip that is marked with red and just barely close the lip over on the velcro. Then fold the excess back into he footprint of the TQ accordion-style and keep the timestamp strip folded back out of the way of the windlass. It'll save someone a few seconds in trying to get the thing around an arm or leg and less tedious too.
@@1911GreaterThanALL Thank you very much for your comment. Sounds like you may have trained people in this area. Your instruction was very good. In fact it compelled me to make the change immediately. Great instruction. Thanks again.
@@WeekendOverland i would add a couple tow chains a 2 or 4 ton come along winch, an old style bumper / farmers jack, a rem 870 or mossberg 500 folding stock with some less lethal rubber slugs, buckshot and some lethal loads, a military surplus 26.5 mm flare pistol and flares, water purifying pump kit, telescoping fishing rod with lures, a 3pc takedown recurve bow w/arrows, a small folding grappling hook with 550 paracord, that is some of what i keep in my jeep
Hi Mark. Thanks for watching and your comments. I actually do carry zip ties on my get home bag that stays in the truck but I may go ahead and put some more in my recovery case. thanks.
Great setup! Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, but a small foldable solar panel could be a great addition to your recovery gear. Good way to charge your jump starter, comms, etc. if you lose your power out on the trail or anywhere else really
Hi N7_Forrest. Thanks for watching. Yes that would be a great addition. I have solar panels for my Jackery 1500 but do not carry them with me on a regular basis.
Nice set up! I would recommend unwrapping your tourniquet to make it more easily accessible in a stressful situation and to be sure it is properly set up for use. Some come from the factory disconnected so you would have to loop it through the connector. Several RU-vid videos on how to stage a CAT TQ.
@@WeekendOverland I was going to say the same thing. Also practice putting it on yourself and others. Have your wife practice putting it on you as well. Great vid, your Raptor is more dialed in than mine!
@@Sonic_fast22 thanks for watching. I have actually taken some trauma medical training since I published the video. I highly recommend it to everyone. But good point to help educate those around you whom you may need assistance.
Great setup! Got some inspiration for my truck. The only suggestion I would have is on your med kit. Take the tourniquet out of the plastic wrap and stage it for use. (Qualification: I am a TCCC instructor). Nothing worse than having a severe bleed and can't get your TQ out of the wrapper.
Great set up….take the tourniquet out of the plastic and then reattach to the bag. If you ever need it you dont want to be fumbling with the manufacturer packaging before use.
@@WeekendOverland came here to say that! also a good idea to slide in a little sharpie in the loops where you secure it so you can quickly write the time of application to tell ems when they arrive
This is probably the best truck setup I have seen. I hate seeing the “Tacti-cool” truck setups that have “8 Ar15’s, 15 handguns, and 50,000 rounds of ammunition” and don’t have something simple like a car jack or a rain jacket. I have definitely had more flats and caught in the rain more than I have been in a gun fight
BC 556 Thanks for watching and your comments. You nailed it! When you start preparing your vehicle, home, etc, you should first focus on items that will assist you with events that are most likely to occur and then work from there. Thanks again.
that’s awesome! all that velcro stuff going on under the seat is so cool. and that console mount. Wish they made cool stuff like this for my 05 Silverado.
Oh, and a big metal spike to drive into the ground, to connect your Come-A-Long to in case there are no trees to connect to. 1" diameter and 3 feet long. That will get you unstuck. Also fire stuff in case you get stuck and have to spend the night.
Great video! I just stumbled onto this. You should definitely have more subscribers. I thought I was watching and listening to a seasoned you tuber. The only thing I would add, and maybe I missed it, is a backpack in case you needed to ditch the vehicle and take a few things with you.
Hi Thomas. Thanks for the feedback. I started the channel about 3 months ago and haven't really reach out much through social media. It is starting to gain momentum. Looking forward to creating more videos. Thanks for watching. BTW, I do mention a backpack (get home bag) and have a full review as well.
Alright I’ve now watched all your videos. Love the gear, love the high quality aspect and that everything is sturdy, organized and just great ideas. Need more information on the water port and how you have that installed.
Hi Michael, thanks for watching! I have had the Waterport (thewaterport.com/build-a-tank/) for a couple of years so I am not sure what bracketry now comes with the unit. Mine came with both a hitch mount and a flat surface - rail mount (looks like those are now purchased separately). Mine is mounted to the Biltright panels I installed in the sides of the bed builtrightind.com/collections/bedside-rack-systems So far I have had no problems with the unit.
BTW the rail mount (at least the one I have) comes in 2 parts, allowing you to simply lift the unit out of the mount when needed and has a place to insert a padlock for security when mounted.
Don't need a crow bar to break into banned area. Just need a hammer to break it. Leave it out and replace it. Harver Freight is the best place for truck adventurers.
And now everyone knows what is in a white raptor with trax mounted to a bed gage with hard cover in the Carolinas with a red go pro mount on the dash owned by a white dude with dogs.
Sounds like you need to move, I have $2000 in radios in my truck and rarely do I even feel the need to lock it. My father has always just left the key in the ignition and it's never proven a problem.
AWESOME setup, this just popped up on my FYP. I know it is a couple of years old, you may have addressed this in future vids. please get some first responder type training. You should carry at at all times a tourniquet with your pew-pew, and know how to use it correctly. Only other issue I see is the Fire Extinguisher should be in the cab for quicker access. I carry 3 and 2 of them are twice that size in case I need to assist at a car accident, (not a firefighter just a citizen). Otherwise GREAT setup!!!!
Not disagreeing but as I have worked outside in the most extreme temps of the western desert most of my adult life it isn't hurting anything. Our water cans sat on the rigs for days. Yeah it's hot/warm whatever but your body will absorb it faster. Im certain he rotates the water too.
I would strangely recommend you perp your first aid kit, for example you TQ is still in the plastic, that’s very bad. Also don’t carry stuff for some one else to use. Carry what you know and only. Most of us that know how to handle more advanced things have our own kits and won’t use yours anyways. So save the money on things you don’t know how to use or get your training on it.
Plastic was remove a few days after the video was published. I have since taken training in medical trauma which I highly recommend for everyone. Thanks for watching!
Well, somebody finally brought up the elephant in the room lol. It’s awesome that some of you take being prepared seriously but some of the people in these communities crack me the hell up 😂🤣 your among one of the few who actually show some useful things 👍 It’s taken several years of responding to enough emergencies that you start to ditch the ridiculous or expensive gear and go back to basics. Especially when you buy the high dollar 💵 gear but the emergency is no where near your gear and you have to get creative like making a make shift tourniquet with a spare t-shirt and tightening it down with a stick or screwdriver🪛. I’ve used more rolls of paper towels or bath towels to slow or stop massive bleeding 🩸 because it was quicker and just as effective and getting patient packaged transported ASAP was more important then putting a pretty bow on it. Remember: Men of action have been responding to emergencies long before Molle webbing, YKk zippers, piss filtration straws, and whatever other goofie 💩 people are packing now in days. Don’t be that guy who has everything in their vehicle to fight a small war but can’t tighten down a screw or do some other basic task because your waifu pretend gf can and will bang the guy you call to come fix the sink 🚰 because you know everything about a weapon system but not her plumbing 😉 And for all the Toilet paper 🧻 hoarding of 2020 you would think more people would show a roll.
HM thanks for watching and your comments. I agree training is key in medical, firearms, etc. Within a budget, you should spend about 75% on training and the remainder on gear.
Nice set up! I’ve put Molle panels behind my rear seats. Great for mounting tools and stuff. I did Molle in the center console and on both driver/passenger side did Molle panels. I have a lot of what you have. Like minded people!! Although where I live. It’s too hot for water to be kept in the truck. It’s 120 in the summer!
I would recommend mounting a tourniquet within easy access to the driver’s seat in the event of an arterial bleed. Having one of these accessible and not flying around the cab in the event of an accident could be the difference between life and death. A femoral bleed is a treat now or die situation. You are very organized!
Thanks for watching and your feedback. Very good point. If you are involved in a wreck and no one there to help you, the contents in your vehicle could be in total disarray......
Bug spray, sunblock, and some extra deodorant are always nice to keep on hand. Most of the time my wife forgets one so it’s nice just having it in the truck and not having to run to the store or stop to get it when you’re trying to get to your destination.
In addition, I always keep wasp spray in my bed mounted box but my rig doubles as a farm truck so you may not have a problem with the flying devils like I do. You could use it to spray protestors just for fun though. :)
"watch caps" or collapsible hats depending on if you are in either hot or cold weather areas. That is something I forget if I end up going for a "drive" unexpectedly
Sweet setup, cool truck! Gave me some good ideas for my vehicle! I’d consider adding some spare dog leashes for your dogs, some road maps and a spare quart of engine oil just in case you need to top that off! And I’d suggest keeping a smaller pair of binos in the center console of your truck for quick access, just in case you see some wildlife and don’t have time to reach back and grab your Sigs. Thanks for sharing!
Nice gear and awesome mounting options. As I start to carry more stuff in my Jeep, I'm always of stuff being rattling around from my subwoofer, so always looking into secure and dampened mounting options. Gonna take a look at that tool bag you've got as that would save a lot of spaces that's taken up in hardcases for me. My favorite mod of yours is that holster setup. I've been playing around with some center console options and so far like have my gun in its CCW holster, but don't like that it's basically a two handed draw as it isn't attached to anything. Looks like I can use a modified version of your setup to fix that, so thanks for sharing!
Hi Artro. Thanks for watching and your feedback. Yes there are pros and cons to the way I have mine mounted. Like using a safety (which I do not) you have to train on what has to occur when the need arises. I have trained quite a bit and feel that if ever the time comes that I need to draw from the center console quickly, my stress level will probably be very high, and this is when mistakes can be made. Keeping the holster with the weapon until it is in a more manageable position is my preference. Drawing in a vehicle is much more challenging than drawing from a holster on your side. But everyone has to find what works for them. Good luck and be safe.
Thank you for putting this video together. Have been adding to my notes as I watch how you have stocked your truck. Maybe I missed it, but if not, do you have an extra pair of sun glasses in there? Or even some clear lens safety glasses? Thay can both come in super handy and dont take up any space.
I can feel another Sootch00 subscriber here. Maxpedition packs and “boo boo kits” are dead giveaways! Haha!! Awesome setup! Got to add some good shoes though! Get home bag ain’t worth jack if your hiking a long distance in flip flops!
OT thanks for watching. You nailed it! Haha I am a fan of Sootch00! I actually mention in the video that I should throw in a pair of shoes (especially since in most of my videoing at home you can hear my flops sliding around on my feet!) Thanks again for the reminder. I feel a revised video in the making.
chunks of wood blocks.... like 6x6 or 8x8s 10 inches long or so... jacking on gravel/sand ...i used to carry two chunks of railroad ties... dont do that lol, everything will stink
Nice! I would only take the seatbelt cutter and move it to some place that is easier to reach. If you ever need a seatbelt cuter, your car is not going to be in the best condition.
I would also recommend a water filter, either for personal use (straw) or the bladder with filter. Water bottles are great, but you will run out if unlucky. Water filters are cheap at the moment, and they are great to have if you need to use a stream or something..
Hey great set-up. What are the floor mats you are using. I am looking for a “Full’ rear mat for my tundra. All I have found do not go as deep (under the rear seats) as yours. Thanks in advance.
Great vid! I was thinking of getting that dash mounting kit, now I just might. I keep my seatbelt cutter on my visor where I can access it in the event on an accident
Excellent vehicle equipment. I have an F-350 so similar interior storage. Under my back seat in the factory tray I keep my truck gun chained up with a plastic covered bicycle chain and the seat down locked. I have a camper top so I carry 95% of my stuff in the bed. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Michael. So many uses for that space under the back seat. I am constantly thinking of other ways to use that space. Camper tops definitely open up a lot of useable space!
@@vw18tonamission1 and @tatethegreat thanks for watching. I have been fortunate in business (Industrial automation) and now ready to get out and play a little. In fact we are in the process of selling the house and have moved out to the country with much more space. Hope to have more videos out soon.
Dunno what kind of environment you drive your truck around in, but that rear seat screams "loot box." I'd be really concerned about thieves breaking a window and stealing thousands of dollars in gear.
First video of yours that I watched, and I plan on watching more. Really great setup! I agree with you that your fire extinguisher needs to be in a much better place. Somewhere inside the cab would be best, even at arm’s reach from the driver’s seat, if possible. It’s one of those things that you either don’t need at all, or it is the most valuable thing you own. Possibly room in the center console next to the Glock? Looks like you have extra room in there, but hard to tell from the video. Take care, and God bless.
Hi GCN, thanks for watching and your comments. I hope you enjoy the other videos. I have since added a fire extinguisher in the cab (somewhat in arms reach) located on the back seat with the other gear.
Really nice setup. Not exactly the way I have my truck but some similarities. A useful pouch suggestion for you that I use is the maxpedition accordion pouch using two nylon straps (cheap sleeping bag attachment straps) to attach it to the back of the drivers seat headrest. Also the Tasmanian tiger headrest ifak for the riders side headrest is really handy and useful, especially if you need to reach it from the drivers seat! Glad you are wanting to get some emergency medical training. Having med gear and looking for someone who knows how to use it in an emergency is like having a pistol on you and looking for someone who knows how to shoot it in an active shooter situation.
The holster setup has positive attributes but, what if your weak arm is busy fending off someone grappling you as you are getting in/out? Or want to access the pistol while you're steering with your weak hand? Pulling the holster with the gun makes it inaccessible if you only have tbe one hand available. Instead, maybe train to keep your booger-hook off the bang switch as you draw? Good setup 👍
Where is the Gas mask, mop suit, mre’s, water filtration, chest rig, sapper plates, kevlar battle helmet.., I mean might as well. You have that rig kitted out pretty ridiculous already, might as well go all the way.
