No, I'm not talking about some of the forum members here; I'm talking about your vehicle. Here's what my trunk looked like at the end of a recent field trip - what does yours look like?

Note: not all items are EDCC (Every Day Car Carry), some were trip specific; and valuables such as the bag/knife go inside w/ me at night.

mine is pretty empty at the moment, it has my fannypack bob, dc inverter, 2 litres of water and my car tools (small canvas pouch of tools)

i dont like to carry much in the car as it screws up the efficiancy and ruins the suspension (i only have a small suzuki swift so the suspension cant carry heavy loads continuously)

I have a box of spare clothing items in the back -- rain jacket, fleece-top, fall/winter jacket, wool socks, leather gloves, stocking caps, etc. I also keep a well-stocked tool bag, a roll of toliet paper, drinking water, and cordage.

I usually keep munchies in the glove box, and these get rotated so as to keep a fresh supply.

I also keep my "special" tools up front, between the driver's seat and the console:

[ ] - a small wrecking/pry bar

[ ] - a MagLight flashlight

[ ] - a SchradeProfessional, telescoping baton

[ ] - an Ontario/Randall Rat-5 knife. In the pocket of the sheath is a FireSteel.com Armageddon FireSteel Tube. Attached to the grommet at the tip of the sheath is about 12 feet of jute twine (tinder). Wrapped on the handle is about 20 feet of 550 paracord.
