SHTF or in my life; just another day of bad luck... What to have in your rover?
SHTF or in my life; just another day of bad luck... What to have in your rover?
So what do you guys keep in your rover for emergency use, unscheduled overnight camping trips, STHF, zombies, black NATO helicopters chasing you (insert your prefered EOTWAWKI scenario here - or just what you carry in the cargo area when traveling in winter)?
And what is the most efficient/secure/least likely to bounce around and break stuff on a rough section of road)?
and GO!

- Plastic Hula Girl on the Dash - she keeps me smiling when times are bad.
- Cell phone
- AAA Card
- Credit Card
- When I hit rough roads I literally take my hands off of the wheel to make it less of a bumpy ride - I just let my Rover lead the way.

The ashtray...
...this paddle game, the remote control...
...and the lamp, and that's all I need.
And that's all I need, too!
I don't need one other thing!
Not one. I need this.
The paddle game, the chair...
...the remote control
and the matches, for sure.

Small tool kit, very LARGE book (War & Peace), lift and tow breakdown card, torch and a cell phone. Oh, a diving knife to fend off predators, the human predators.
