Over the years I've collected a sort of minimum set of stuff to have in my pick-up, when I head out to scout or hunt. I did a little research to see what it might cost, if I had to buy it all at one time. At over $600, it's not peanuts but we pay tens of thousands for our trucks, it seems a small amount to raise the odds that you get home with our fenders on. If you shopped around you could get most of this stuff for half of retail, slightly used.
Here is my list, with the exception of the HiLift jack, and the coil of cable, it will all fit behind the rear seat and in a couple of 5 gallon buckets. I've use it all, at one time or another, over the years.
