What do you carry in your 4R all the time and why?

I don’t give them out I kept the whole stack. See This guy is the best even done Lions. He lost the use of his hands doing my Turkey. But I got it back shortly after a year. Oya the property owner gave him an extra hundred bucks and he got his back pretty quick.

 

#1 fire extinguisher

 

Great suggestions here..I’ll add another.
If you sleep in your vehicle these are a must ! Mesh window cover to keep bugs out. Costs $15 & slides over the window frame allowing you to adjust window as needed for ventilation. Also provide sun protection.

 

Too much stuff to list, been using my silky saw a lot on the trail lately from the storms we've been having.

 

Trauma Bag…

I hope I carry it for nothing

 

Can u add a product link - good idea!

Thanks for providing the link - do you recall what size you ordered - they have several offered.

 

Medium- they are slightly oversized but the small had a tiny gap at the base due to the door curvature on the 4Runner.

 

Good to know - they’re on my list!
Thanks..

 

jumper cables are a must for all those unfortunate folks you encounter that have an issue

 

And know how to use it

 

Look into NOCO, fool proof and you can't electrocute yourself.

 

Amazing how so many individuals don't carry one.

 

Roll of toilet paper Incase I have to shit, alprazolam for as needed purposes, and a phone charger.

I'm probably forgetting some random stuff, but that's the stuff I can think of off the top of my head. I also throw in an air compressor, traction boards, and recovery gear bag when I'm planning on being off road.

 

Damn, you are prepared!

 

Lol. A lot of it is stuff that I put in there one item at a time, and just never removed it. It's nice knowing where things are, and this way I won't forget them when I go on trips. A lot of the stuff like the bug nets and headlamps are great for when I'm camping, and those are the types of things that I tend to forget.

Some of the stuff I use quite frequently, the sunscreen, wet wipe, bug spray I use pretty much every time I go mountain biking. I also use the dog stuff quite a bit as well. Some of the other stuff like the hatchet and the recovery gear I've never used, but it doesn't take up much room and I'd rather have it and not need it and vice versa.

Some people complain about the interior storage of the 4R, but I find it's pretty handy. I have all that stuff squirreled away just in the regular pockets and center console. The only thing that's really sitting out is the tool bag.

If I was a YouTuber maybe I'd do one of those walk around videos, haha.

 

Trauma bag was a gift from my nephew who is a first responder.

He gives demonstration/instructions on the how to use couple times a year.

 

Good on you, skills like that are easily lost. Look into stop the bleed courses as well, they're an excellent refresher.

 

Knife, hatchet, first aid, jumper cables, ratchet straps, 20' tow strap, t.p., bug spray,

I would still like to add a fire extinguisher, traction boards, simple tool kit(hammer, zip ties, duct tape, monkey wrench)

 

Portable jumper
small tire inflator
first aid kit
knife
flashlight
bug spray
dog water bowl
window cleaner
tub of towels
ASP and bear spray in driver's door console.

Sounds like a lot but it's tucked away nicely.

 

So true!! Thirty-five last Monday.

 

Duct tape and the P-38 can opener are the only good things the Army produced!

 

A bumper dumper!

 

I don't know what your "Pro rescue kit" includes, but I would add a

$38 MIL-M-18371E Emergency Signalling Mirror, Mark 3, Military Issue (2 in. x 3 in.)

signal mirror, some

$6 Hipat Red Emergency Whistles with Lanyard, Loud Crisp Sound, 2 Packs Plastic Whistles Ideal for Lifeguard, Self-Defense and Emergency

emergency whistles, a couple of well sealed pints of white gas (AKA Coleman fuel), and perhaps a couple of quarts of engine oil. In the event you need to be found, you gotta make yourself very visible day or night.

 

Glock 43

 

One thing to watch out for in these new summer temps: I always carry a disposable lighter in my 95's center console. Yesterday me'n Mama left the 4Runner home, sitting in the sun, and took a little road trip in her car. Last night, I went out to check on soomething in the truck and found the console open, and the shattered body of the lighter lying out on the seat. Too much heat--BANG! Fortunately, none of the .22 Ruger carbine mags was damaged; glad there weren't any matchbooks in there.
