Curious how your setup looks for your tools, and those who have a "get back home" bag or "bug out bag". Right now I just have a backpack that I threw in the back, looking for more creative ideas.

Don't mind Titanpat57. He's going on an expedition. :thumb3:

Really though, that's a nice set up. What did it cost you to build your drawer system?
 

Heres what I regularly carry in the back.

Left to right:

Baby wipes
Bag of rags
10lb PowerTank TrackPack w/pressure gauges and Staun defators
Small First aid kit
Toolbox with a large assortment of hand tools and Dewalt 20v flashlight and drill
Plywood jack base
SogFari Machete
5lb dry chem fire extinguisher

The large Dewalt bag holds:
__2x Mechanic gloves
__10ton hydraulic jack
__Air powered impact driver with impact sockets and extentions
__Torque wrench
__Misc 2x6 and 4x4 cribbing
__2x Wheelers 3"x20' tow strap
__1x Wheelers 3"x12' Tree saver
__6x D-shackles
__misc nylon webbing
__3x ratchet straps
__ARB tire repair kit
__Misc bungee cords
__Misc cordage, 550 para, 1/4 nylon
__10x12 plastic tarp
__rain gear and boots
__Fire steel
__4x Cyalume light sticks


In the colder months I carry another bag with some extra heavy clothes, wool mittens, socks, a couple of blankets and a dozen or so hand warmers

I also have a bag with a couple of days of clothes and personal items that's kept at the ready in the house.

Now if I could just get [MENTION=47340]Titanpat57[/MENTION] to help me out with a nice set of draws. :nod:

I don't have the option to build a sweet drawer like that because of my 3rd row seat, but man I wish I never had it :)

We'll get measured up at the Cove...
 
I have a Gerber LMF2 in the front console along with tactical flashlight.
A small emergency kit hidden where the jack is.
Then I have a small craftsman soft tote bag for the small amount of tools I carry.
Also have a backpack that has it all, duct tape, para cord, etc,etc.. I put warm socks, etc for spare clothing as well
I carry a small axe with me as well
 
Spare Ammo

I normally just carry some extra ammo. That way when it goes south I can just "shop" from the people around me.

:AK47:
 
Perhaps in spare time, Pat could list the contents of HIS drawers as did Qjake so we all could make an educated comparison.


:yo:

titanpat57, how did you join the pieces of wood on the drawers and the cabinet?
Click to expand...

Wood glue, and 1-1/4" x 1/4" crown staples (or you can use 18# brads).

Remember anytime you're joining two pieces of wood together, especially end grain, to always use two coats of glue. The first one sucks and seals the grain, the second coat provides the bond.

Remember.... Uncle Pat always says.....

"It's not how many fasteners you put in...it's how well you put them in.."

I'd never heard that before. Do you let the first application get tacky, or dry completely?
Click to expand...

Dry to touch is better...if you let it dry completely, and hit it with some fine sandpaper, it actually removes the "raised" grain (which primarily happens because the wood gets wet) and can make an even tighter bond.

Wood glue (Elmers, Tite-bond, etc) love smooth surfaces to bond to. When the glue is sucked in faster on one side of the joint as opposed to the other, it creates a weaker joint, prone to failure.

I also used 9 ply baltic birch (cabinet grade), which in itself is a stronger, more stable plywood than most available in the big box stores.
