Storage/Organization Suggestions for a spare pack out

Alright, so this is kind of just for fun but I want to hear your ideas. I have one of these : https://www.amazon.com/clp/B07D2CS8L3

I don’t really NEED it, but I have it. I can’t keep it with my other tools. So it’d have to go in the cab. Fits comfortably under the back seat. Tools, emergency stuff, spare clothes, etc is pretty much covered. So, the idea I had was an emergency coffee kit 🤣 immersion boiler, French press, metal thermos. Could even throw in the shelf stable half and half packs and sugar packs. Powder donuts, honey buns on the other side.

So, let’s hear your ideas. No matter how silly or outlandish you may think, I want to hear some crazy suggestions.

There was a previous post on a pepper sub from someone who lived through the Bosnian war that gold was worthless but coffee was valuable. Having a backup coffee source, even instant, is important.

I have an inverter on my work truck so I could literally plug in a regular coffee maker, but I was thinking I can boil some water, grind some beans and dump it in a French press.

I've always thought that same thing. Coffee, cigarettes, booze and toliet paper. I can't do anything with a gold bar/coin. You can trade that other stuff easily.

Here's a regional disruption pro-tip: if you find yourself in a situation where gold is worthless, trade for everyone else's gold.

I have a few different emergency kits and two of them include some form of alcohol stove, fuel, a pot, and instant coffee.

The more compact kit I didn't bother with a can of instant coffee but went with packets of 3-in-1 coffee/whitener/sugar

Coffee is always good to have. It isnt mine, but this seems in line with your idea!

That’s pretty much what I’m going for, just with a French press , immersion boiler, tumbler and hand grinder. I drink a lot of coffee and much like that guy I go out of town for work fairly often.

It says an updated version is coming soon but I have this from kickstarter years ago and it’s perfect for traveling.

Includes the electric kettle, pour over setup, tumbler, and storage for some ground coffee. I’ve mostly used it in hotels and no complaints. Coffee storage is limited since it’s all nested in the kettle so if you need more than a few days worth you’d have to bring beans and grinder too.
