Recently there was a storm in Virginia that stranded hundreds of drivers on the freeway where they couldn't move. I don't know why, but they were stuck there on the road for hours. Some without food and water I presume. That got me to thinking. Is my vehicle outfitted properly.
Not likely, but anyway if something really bad happens, even at home, do you have a place where you have some emergency items stashed away? What better place than in your truck, where if you needed a quick getaway, it's already in there. And if you're home and your vehicle is just out front (and not in the garage where if there was a really bad Earthquake and buried), you can climb out front and get to it.
So I spent some time researching, and thinking about what I could do to get set up. First off, the dogs.
I had a Dog Couch in the back, but they had chewed it up and it needed to go. So I built a platform that rests along the inside edge of the truck bed, and supported that way, with an additional leg on the inside. Then got a sled and some quality containers to store emergency items. Instead of me describing what's in there here are some videos of the complete setup:
