[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2224553, member: 91783"] Do you carry any emergency gear in your hunting truck ? Where I live it can be a long ways to any help if something happens . I think that it's best to be prepared just in case . A blanket made of wool , a few first aid supplies , a jacket , tow strap , jack base plate ( small piece of 3/4 " plywood ) for muddy conditions , shovel , tire plugs , small air compressor , come along , T. P. , clean drinking water ect. ? My work truck was a crew cab but would only fit two people in it unless I emptied out the back seat area every thing had a use and it's own place . We didn't have cell phones , for most of my life , and still in many areas there is no service here . You may be 60 - 70 miles from town and several miles from any home around here . I was 20 miles from any home and slipped side ways on a small hillside , when the ground was frozen and the sun had thawed the surface just enough to make it really slick , and hit a rut popping the two down hill tires off of the rim one morning . I went twenty feet down to a flat spot and jacked the truck up got out my little air compressor , that plugs into a cigarette lighter for power , and got them aired back up . A tire snake can be made using a ratcheting tie down strap to help you get the tire bead back on the rim . When you are around old home steads there are so many big nails and spikes laying around that a flat tire is going to happen some time . A tire plug can get you to town for a fix on the tire . I and a friend were fishing in the mountains one day , we were only around 40 miles from any medical help , when Jim slipped on a wet rock and tried to catch himself but his hand landed on some ones broken beer bottle putting a gash to the bone in the heal of it . A good pressure bandage and we made it back to town with out any chance that he was going to bleed out . Several stiches and an hour or so in the ER and the Dr. saying it wasn't a bad job of getting his bleeding controlled and to town , the fishing trip was cancelled . So much can happen in the blink of an eye that you can't control it's best to have made some planning and a little preparation a head of time for me . [/QUOTE]
