    Same here the shovel is important at camp, first to dig the firepit ,then maybe a bit of trench work around any tents,,
    Then for shovelling some coals for the evening meal in the camp oven and lets not forget toilet duties lol.
    So For me it would be the first thing packed or on my list and the last after filling in the fire pit after a weekend camping.

    I'm with Mudski. Anything that could be taken off easily enough by someone else, I'll just remove after a trip.

    You're just "advertising" to the scums by leaving stuff on unfortunately these days IMO. Wish it wasn't the case though.

    Sometimes I forget to lock the patrol, when you add up all your nicks and knacks in your door pockets
    cargo area shelves and glove box it can be quite expensive, Fridge is always in the patrol too.
    Its out ATM one of a few times its not been running since about 1993 I reckon.

    EDIT you pick which days I forget with Billy on guard lol

    I don't get why you'd want to leave your shovel on your truck all the time

    I had some low life smash the front fly window on my Hilux, they stole the ashtray full of change, the ashtray was closed but they know people keep change in their car.
    New window, new window frame, new ashtray (had to come from Japan) for $5 in change.

    I keep one of the ex army entrenching shovels in the drawers. When going for a 4wd, I include a bigger shovel.

    The little shovel has helped a number of times.

    I dont leave any goodies, as i park the truck at the rail way station. I have already had one patrol knocked off from the station

    And its Toooooooo High for the Ball & chain
