This thread came at a nice time, making me check my gear. I just recently replaced my vehicle, and moved some of my kit from my old Envoy to the new Grand Cherokee. I've always tried to have some "permanent" gear in my vehicle in storage compartments, so it's always there. Sometimes the gear bags with supplemental gear get moved out of the car for various reasons, so I always want a set of basic gear with me. What that means is sometimes cramming a lot into the nooks and crannies of the vehicle. I've learned to always have a couple of heavy duty contractor trash bags in the kit, so if I need to remove the gear (to change a tire, for example) I can do it quickly, and keep it dry. I can always then throw the bag in the back, and repack it when I'm home. This is some of the "stuff" in the wheel well of the new Jeep, as an example. I need to make a list of everything in the various compartments, and expiration info.
