What do you keep in the lower compartment in the trunk?

Is "a hurt-others stick" a euphemism for a gun? Or does it just hurt other sticks? Or is it a spear, arrow or truncheon?

No, a gun is a boomstick.

So, I guess the question is -- once the bedpan is used, will it fit back in the cubby when you are finished?

Yeah it would fit, alright!

As long as it was ... er, #1, we just left it on the floorboard until we arrived somewhere it could be discretely cleaned out, like a service station restroom with an outside door. And in case you're wondering (and I know some are!), I don't recall ever having to pull it out for #2.

It's a harpoon! No, it's just a simple metal stick. Or rod, I do not know. It has yet to hurt anything, so I do not know if it's good for other sticks yet. I don't want to torture a helpless stick to find out.

 

Glock .40 cal

Flare Gun

Binoculars

Rope

 

TV tray, small tool kit with flashlight in lid, power inverter.

 

- Toyota emergency kit (came with the car)
- Computer/electronic tool kit
- Soft-side collapsible insulated cooler-bag, about 8qt size
- Soft-side briefcase of computer cables & small peripherals

Plus the spare tire and tools.

Add a candlestick and a wrench and you can play a Live Action game of Clue!

 

Set of window shades for Prius. (I really need to get them out of there and sell them; I don't use them. Really expensive and regret spending the money. )Emergency reflective triangle and pop up cone and emergency sign that hangs on window. Reflective space blankets.

There might be a little more stuff on the emergency side.

In other places I have flashlight and first aid kit. Spare reading glasses. Pop up drinking cup and bottle of water. I keep some nice wheel blocks I salvaged from my old Nissan in the side compartment.

I also keep a gas can in the cargo area. Haven't had to use it. Also my spider net in case.

 

Why, oh why is this thread not called Junk in the Trunk?

 

An aluminum suitcase filled with 2 million dollars in unmarked bills.

In case I'm kidnapped and held for ransom.

 

I just checked..... ok, a 1,000,000 candlepower rechargeable spot light, a Frost-Line down coat (whatever happened to the Frost-line DIY kits?), a pair of hiking boots, the lug nuts that the lock nuts replaced.... boy, I need to add more stuff, huh! I do keep my image stabilized 12x36 Cannon Binoculars under the drivers seat, and the a/c inverter under the passenger's seat. So many gadgets, so little time & money....

I forgot to mention: I lined the box with that open-weave non-slip shelf liner. All that junk sliding around would drive me nuts! (Or more nuts as the case may be.)

From other's lists, I think I'll add an emergency space blanket and some bottled water. The hand-cranked flashlight with the emergency flashers is in the glove box up front with a small halon fire extinguisher.

 

Infinitely nested smaller lower compartments.

I thought our first aid kits had that emergency blanket in it, I guess its a good idea to have more than one that way you can share.

 

Sweatshirt, paper towels, small tool kit. When wine tasting up north it servces very well for individual bottles purchased (you can put alot of wine bottle in there!) The drawer under the console holds the cheese knife and bottle opener!
