As far as flashlights are concerned, you can get a rechargeable light that plugs into a USB port. I actually ran wiring from my Power Port to inside my glove compartment and keep one plugged in there.
A bug out bag is what I have at home. When out or at work I have get home bag.I have no idea if general discussion is the right place for this thread, but I'm sure someone will yell at me if it's not. I'm working on building a Jeep bag. I hesitate to say bug out bag but I guess that's what it is. I'm just trying to build something where if I ever have to hike out of somewhere or SHTF I can just grab it out of my rig and get moving. Also just something to help simplify my storage in my rig.
What I currently have:
-towel
-headlamp
-jump pack/portable charger
-socks
-extra shoes since 90% of the time I'm in flip flops
-Basic survival kit
-batteries
-basic first aid kit
-space blanket
-sweatshirtag
I guess a get home bag is more what I'm building. I was hesitant to call it a bug out or get home bag because to me that looks a lot more like yours. This one I'm trying to make it less tactical and more just my rig broke down a few miles from the trail head and I need to hike out or even just I got stuck in a whiteout on paved roads and need to spend the night in my car. The most likely scenario is I fell into a lake or river fishing because I have the coordination of a drunk toddler and need some dry clothes and a towel.When out or at work I have get home bag.

Well that's a different matter. I wheel with friends and never gave much thought to hiking out the trail.
Flip flops are good enough!
I bring extra food when I'm wheeling, but refuse to keep food in my Jeep. I don't want to deal with a bear deciding to rip through my soft top. They'll break through garage doors and even into kitchens up here.couple mre's
For sure. That's my plan currently. I like what my buddy built in his Taco so I might steal his design and just modify it. My issue is I either have to give up seat space or storage space. I'll figure something out. Not planning on doing much wheeling or camping until June so that should give me plenty of time.
compass
I may try that.You guys carrying toilet paper should give a pack of baby wipes a try. So much nicer on the back side , easier to pack and can be used for other things like giving yourself a "whore bath". I keep a small travel size pack in my passenger door panel pockets.

That reminded me, I've recently added a compass and physical map (state road map) to each car. Work often takes me out into areas with limited cell service, and sometimes GPS won't pick up, so I’d hate to be out somewhere and have cell service and GPS be down for a while for what ever reason, which seem more likely every day.
Idk if you've eaten an mre before.but most don't call them food!
Unfortunately in Colorado you have to be 21 to possess a handgun and I do not feel comfortable leaving a long gun in my Jeep until I get a very nice lockbox that I trust. Once I get my CCW permit though definitely.I would still have a firearm in the kit, but then again, I always have one on me. My underseat lockbox has one too, so I'll always have two at my immediate disposal.
