I always have a good kit in my bag I take to work. I don't always take the pack with me though (unless I'm going to work). I want to get a kit to keep in my truck, but I'm worried the extreme heat and cold will make some of the stuff expire quicker. I have a single cab, and pretty much anywhere I go there is no shade to park. Any advice? Or am I just doomed to having to buy new stuff every few months?

Buy or scrounge your stuff. Put it in a cool ATAS med bag. Put the bag in your truck cab. There done.
I live in Tennessee, it gets warm in the summer, winters get cool. We don't overthink it. Our gear lasts and lasts, even with hunned degree summer days..... |

tactical response's little Pocket VOK is perfect for vehicles. Nothing in it is sensitive to heat really. Even the tape has stayed good for me in 2 years of California desert sun.

Can't say for certain how long this stuff holds up, but some info on med kits:
Tourniquets, Chest Seals, and Pressure Dressings, Oh My! HELP……….I’VE FALLEN AND DON’T KNOW WHAT IFAK SHOUD I BUY? (Individual Medical Kits) |

Most expiration dates are arbitrary.
