the big test is Monday in Austin. from what i hear Austin has no water and very little electricity. I'm assuming other resources are thin as well.
I've prepped the truck to head out as best as I can. got new tires today, fresh oil change, new wiper blades, and a new serpentine belt.
I'll have my tool box kit as always which includes a very extensive tool kit, and then a 24 inch pipe wrench, 3 lb axe, take down buck saw, chains, shovel, funnels, sledge hammer, bolt cutters, tarp, rope, and idk what else.
I added my bug out bag which has everything I might need for a camping trip less tent or sleeping bag.
then I threw in a couple sleeping bags, propane cook top, lantern, and a couple bottles propane. on top of that a bunch of food and drinks. looks like I'm going camping.
idk if there will be much gas to be had so I'm leaving with a full tank and taking 17 gallons in the back of the truck. 3 five gallon gas cans, and a 2 gallon. it's strapped down very well and secure...as lomg as I don't get rear ended by a semi it should be ok and I have almost enough to go down there and make it back. I can get close enough to habe a buddy pick me up anyway..
and then I have the boring overnight bag with clothes and a toothbrush.
I have reservations at a hotel, but there aren't many rooms available so I'm prepped to sleep in the truck if I need to.
the in-laws think I'm crazy but I'd rather have it and not need it than the other way around.
the hard part is the 8 hour test. yall wish me luck
