I have a crafstman digital multimeter. I will definently bring that. If nothing else, I'll be able to troubleshoot a bad battery vs a bad alternator with it.
....Exactly 7 days before my last day of work here in Ohio
Can't wait to get to Bellingham! My friend out there just got a house, so as soon as I get there I'm going to have to get a job and start paying rent. Looks like Im going to be there for a year cause we just signed the lease! Yeee haaaa, nothign like last minute, moving across the country to be in the mountains to keep things interesting.

B-Ham... interesting town, mostly liberal, baker has good boarding and is mostly a boarder hill now (LOTS of snow, usually heavy), Whistler is very close, 2.5 hours.. great duck hunting, if you can find land. Places to snowmobile etc... Nothing like the wet-side... You'll like it
Cigars, but I prefer swishers

Rubber barn boots help for when the campsite you thought was level turns out to be not so or decides to turn into a creek bed in the middle of the night.
It can get mighty cold

Hmm...a woman. Why do I tend to think that a woman wouldn't last very long living in the bed of a truck in cold temperatures...eating dry ramen noodles, and peanut butter and jelly? The day I find a woman like that is the day I get married....
Any WOMAN on yotatech wanna be added to my roadtrip list???

You might want to swap out the ramen for a mix of brown and white rice. Rice takes a little bit longer to make, but it's actually got good stuff in it for you verse Top Ramen which is about a healthy for you as plastic. Top Ramen sure tastes yummy but when it's a primary food for as long as you are going out for, you NEED to take rice. You'll thank your self at the end of the trip.
Also, I would recommend having a bag that never leaves you that has all your Important crap. I would also take a few pre stamped envelopes.
-Journal
-and a 12 cu. ft. freezer
That should do it. : )

Carolina packets of rice come in handy, brown rice tends to spoil over time so be carefull!
As for an important bag, how about a bob bag-I got tons of them..All your essentials are in it incase you gotta run (NOW) and that all you got.

How about your climbing harness(es). I saw it in your photo, but not on the list. If you have an alpine harness, you may want to take it as well for any glacier-travel-type climbing. How about your helmet?
BTW, that kind of women do exist. You just need to look on the SummitProject.com site for them, or read Alpinist mag.

I hate you Chad. (j/k)
Looks like a good list, but you did forget one thing:
ME.
Take me with you, please!?!? It would just be me, my climbing stuff, my snowboarding gear, maybe a mountainboard, and my bike, and some clothes, and a coffee maker, and...... We could fit it all, I promise!
Ok, seriously, have fun... but I am a wee bit jealous....

Are you camping or hotel hopping on the way over, either way you may want to make sure you have reservations for the places you want to stay, I know we are going into the off season but plans can be thrown off if for some reason the place is full.
Also trail passes and and fishing/hunting licenses.
