My X has basically become my camping / survival / off-road buddy. Well, that and my dog.
In the X at ALL times:
D-rings & tow strap, shovel, gas can, and hiking stick on roof rack (soon to be changed to low-profile roof rack to hold spare tire and 4-gallon gas can), tire gauge, maps, phone chargers, multi-tool, duct tape, 4lb sledge, tent, sleeping bag, hoodie, pillow, thick paracord & thin paracord, tent stakes, knives, hatchet, 7 flashlights with extra batteries (that's right - seven), two walkie-talkies with extra batteries, extra phone batteries, hiking boots & socks, fire starters, bungee cords, hitch & ball, bug spray, zip ties, ratchet straps, jumper cables, granola bars, water, canned goods (chicken, fruit, and beans, along with food for my pup), monocular, more knives, aspirin, standard Xterra first-aid kit, road flares, small wire cutters, lockpicks, latex gloves, work gloves, ziploc bags, compass, 6-liter water jug with purification system, machete (Gerber Jr. Gator), tomahawk, bow & arrows, sabre saw, spork, water bottles, electrical tape, hand wipes, shop towels, camp stove, scent killer, fire extinguisher, wool blanket, survival guides & books, trail maps / topography information for the entire state, and tubs and bags for everything. Compression and mobility is the key. This doesn't include the bug-out bag from home that includes a set of clothes, 9mm Ruger with three mags, spare keys, first aid kit, flashlights, a book, a deck of cards, vitamins, dog food, matches, and running shoes. You never know. I'd rather be prepared than not.
Soon to be added: Hi-Lift, ladder, Mossberg 500, portable hammock & hammock slings.
If you think about it, the Xterra is sort of the jack-of-all-trades when it comes to stuff like camping, off-roading, overlanding, adventuring, and general survival. Maybe that's why I was so drawn to it.
I didn't even know this thread existed! I'm glad I stumbled upon it
I was reading your list going yup yup yup, Then I started with the no's hmm I got some work to get done. My next mod will help me out with storage for stuff I would like to carry that I rarely would use. Question do you keep any extra oil, brake fluid, ... and how do you store a bow and I hope it arrows and how are you going to store your shotgun?
