Emergency! Electrical help needed.

Emergency! Electrical help needed.
I have a 93,5.2,auto 4x4.
I took my truck to leave @ our property today to use to put hay out etc. during the drought. I pulled up to a gate, turned truck off to clear some brush, open gate etc. Went to start truck, I have no electric power. No lights, no power to any part of truck. Clean battery terminals, tried to start w/ tranny shifted in nuetral. Move tranny shifter back and forth...notta. I did not have any tools with me to go any further into checking stuff, plus I had to get back home.
The truck is 100 miles from home and 25 miles to closest auto parts store. I am taking electrical tools and testers with me Saturday when I go back.
Any ideas on what would cause this? Any parts that I should go ahead and buy to take...what ever I dont use I can return.
My first thoughts are a fusible link-where are they located to check? Bad ground?
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I took the day off from work and went back to work on it. Turns out it was the battery dead, tested @ 2v. I have never seen a battery do this before. I mean I had just started the truck( started fine,did not sound weak), backed it off the trailer, drove over to the gate, turned it off. About 5 minutes later go to start truck and all is dead. I checked the cables for any place that could short out, found nothing. After new battery is in, charging system @ 14v..... life is good again. Thanks Crazy4x4RT for the help
