Am I the only on that's going to say "gun"?

bare minimum a ruger MKII .22 pistol for skunks or what ever, and then what ever sort of hunting boom stick may be in season at the time be it a varmint rifle, shotgun, deer rifle etc.

and shells, and what ever calls I might need, knife...

those are my priority items, then there will be what ever else like a log chain or 2, tow straps, tie down straps, maybe a chainsaw, high lift jack, a wood block or 2, a come along... maybe a 20' set of jumper cables.

And usually a mess of empty beer cans in the back (I have no idea where those come from, I swear people must think my truck is a beer can dumpster.)

Well shoot, I feel like I need to drive home right now and fill my truck up with stuff. The cab is practically empty and all the bed has in it is about 2-300 plastic pots and some empty shotgun shells. When I was driving it daily though, I always had pliers, small tool kit, 1-2 passengers, and occasionally a chain if someone needed a pull home. Not too much else though.
