Bad idea IMO. But if you are going to, I'd recommend putting a warning sign in your car in case of accidents on the road, and dont put it in a standard plastic container - instead something like this:

Thanks FC, can't believe I forgot socks! As a professional soldier, I am suitably ashamed. I've also added 48hrs rations for the dog, as he's with me most of the time and would turn his nose up at the stuff that comes out of an MRE!

I tend to wear some varitation of combat boot, even when off duty, so footwear isn't much of an issue.

Mallie99, what's your objection to carrying spare fuel? I usually have a 5l can in the boot, but I can see why your suggested one is better. Would I be right is guessing you have some link to the Fire Service?

No link there gunny, just makes sense to me that if you were going to carry flammable liquid in the boot of your car that it's at least as well protected as the fuel tank of your car. I'd have the fuel can strapped so it can't move about too, it's all about minimising risk.

Perfect! Nice spot mate!

A comprehensive kit there. One simple addition may make life more comfortable though (imo), toilet paper.

will go start the car and use the 12v kettle

just need a cup of some sort might get another crusader cup to replace the mess tin

and a new pack lite style jacket but have my work fleece and standard high vis rain coat in the boot anyway



car has its own bag some bits are interchangeable between kits torches and the like ..

hi there

i also travel over 50 miles daily to work but have a van so using storage under the front seats and two small compartments which i have got a sleeping back and soon with a bit of a reorg can get a 50 litre tactical back pack flattened down.

i also to much of the amusement of other workers have adapted my onsite locker which i have an air bed sleeping bag etc with 3 days food stored on site and 3 days in the van so shtf i have got a week supply either move or hunker down to see what happens !


the only thing is carrying a good knife uk law only allows 3 inches so could not keep a survival knife on the van !

like the 12 volt kettle !

cheers
