Carrying Jumper Cables with the truck is a great idea... What you don't want to do however is run your truck start battery down as this is your only way to get back home... One of my GIBBS camping rules is don't mess with your truck start battery for camping needs... We also carry a 2KW Honda Inverter Generator secured in the tail gate section of my covered and locked truck bed... This is out of sight until I drop the tail gate to use it... This alone has saved me on my off-grid outings on many many occasions...
Camping off grid takes good planning including great Plan B's - just can't show up and go camping... It will get dark on you about 9PM doing that.. Than what's you gonna do...
