Jay, Going camping as she grew up was a good way to talk about being prepared, for camping and things that could go wrong; plus starting fires, not drinking the water, climbing stuff, etc. She was much more interested in that stuff than me showing her car stuff…. lol.

Great thoughts Alicia! They have a way of reminding you they’re adults! will definately be doing steps at a time.

My time for shopping for my next vehicle purchase has begun which has coincided with my relatively new interest in being a little more serious about prepping. I love pick ups, (Tundra especially) but as I think about prepping and my day job, I’ve been going back and forth over whether an enclosed vehicle like an SUV (4runner for example) provides better options vs a pick up with an open bed, lockable cover, or even a cap. I’ve owned a Tundra in the past with a cap and that was pretty good for SAR work. I own an equinox now and only use it for my day job driving around to people’s homes with some work equipment in the back. So for my next vehicle do I want everything part of my “cabin” or am I ok with a truck bed being separate? Thinking out loud. Certainly interested in other’s thoughts. (BTW, I’ve had an H3 in the past and that was pretty fun- it just looked like a big jeep so it wasn’t too crazy) Oh, and pretty cool Jeep John.
