    Lithium batteries.
    skip candles and get a fuel based stove. Solid liquid or compressed gas. Since its with your truck a stove capable of gasoline might be nice. Also consider a hobo stove that uses scrounged sticks and stuff

    Lifeboat rations and jerky instead of Mres

    Protect your water from sweating on the rest of your gear.

    My water is stored in 2 liter bottles in the crates that 2 liter bottles are stacked in. I easily store 16 liters of water in each car without them rolling around and getting punctured.

    I made a hobo stove out of a stainless steel thermos. Inside bottle was the pot, and outside is the stove. Tent stakes for holding the pot over the fire at various heights.

    I have rice, and ramen, jerky. Ration bars, and tuna/chicken/salmon thgat comes in the mylar pouches that seem pretty bullet-proof to me.


    My car bags are to get me home. where I can resupply/meet up with the rest of the family.

    I agree with the purpose of a car bag, and I have a G.O.O.D. Tub at the house that is for throwing in and getting away (my personal SHTF thinking is based off mobility, using the house only as a storage place, I live a little out in the country but I don;t like the idea of being pinned down to any one location)

    I make my hobo stoves out of steel cans, works really good and is dirt cheap.

    But the real purpose of this bag is for when i go up into the mountains and my truck gets stuck I can live out of it for a while until the family can come get me lol. I like to take spontaneous day hikes/ camping trips. So that is what I have in mind really.
