What do you keep in your truck's under seat storage

After switching vehicles, and still owning my last truck that is already outfitted, I am in need of putting together my tools, tow straps, etc.

I plan to use the under seat storage in the back of my truck.

So what do you have in yours?

So far my list:

Tow Straps
Jumper Cables
Assorted hand tools including small ratchet set, pair of channel locks, 4 way screw driver, allen wrench set.
Safety Glasses/Ear protection/Gloves
First Aid Kit/Emergency Blanket
Bungees/25 feet of 550 paracord
Water Bottle/Canteen.
Duck Tape

What am I missing?

my list basically mirrors yours with the addition of my 8" weigh safe hitch receiver and an extra lube plate for the 5th wheel hitch.

Thanks for the replies. I too have a boom stick, but mine is a hand held 410/45LC version.

My list is just about the same, but I added to it: sharp/retractable utility knife, a spare key for my locking gas cap, spare key for the locking tow hitch pin, some rags/shop towels, and a funnel for adding DEF.

Under the center seat is my ham radio, SCT tuner,
then under the rear seat..
Set of Road flares
gloves
6 ratchet straps
half of roll of toliet paper in a ziplock bag (never know when you need it)
2 cans of white spray paint (re-spray steel plates when shooting)
ar15 or ruger 10/22 with multiple mags each
beach towel

Behind the rear seat:
bow saw
machette
standard jack stuff

In the under body tool boxes..
25ft jumper cables
30 foot tow strap, 30 foot grade 70 chain
1/2in tool set with breaker bar, vise grips
Husky 12v compressor
Spot lot
More gloves.

On the other side in the big tool box..
During the summer: whatever i need for the time
During the winter:
Stihl ms270 wood boss with 20in bar
gallon of gas and gallon of bar oil
full size ax
short shovel
Hatchet

Yep I think that covers it.. I have not quite mounted my hi-lift jack to the flatbed quite yet, but that will be getting perm mounted here soon. and then probably along with my 3k harbor freight winch for pulling crap into the bed, or pulling cars onto trailers.

Edit: also forgot about the binoculars and laser range finder that are behind the seats in the pockets.. lol

So far all it's been used for is a place for the groceries when we go shopping. Keeps the bags from rolling around.

We just returned from a "Bourbon Tour" of distilleries in Kentucky and had multiple bottles packed under the seat. Not a bad place to store things like that.
