11 Items U.S. Army Veterans Hide in Their Trucks (Cheap at Home Depot)

The Atlanta ice storm of 2023 trapped commuters in their trucks for up to 20 hours. Parking lot smash-and-grab crime is up double digits in nearly every major U.S. metro. A single AAA roadside callout runs about $150. A specialty roadside emergency kit at AutoZone runs $60 for components that cost $22 at Home Depot. Eleven items, all from Home Depot, total under $180, and most of them get walked right past by thieves because they look like contractor gear. In this video, we talk about the 11 items U.S. Army veterans hide in their trucks from Home Depot, including the four-dollar surveyor's flagging tape that signals search and rescue at twice the range of a strobe, the half-inch PEX tubing that beats specialty fuel siphons in cold weather, the twelve-volt portable air compressor that handles the low-pressure spare donut, the twenty-thousand-pound tow strap with a four-to-one safety margin, the duct-tape-silicone-epoxy repair stack that fixes three failure modes, and the paint-splattered Husky cargo box that defines the veteran's concealment doctrine.
