Believe it or not, having a little emergency pack in your car for those ‘just in case’ issues can be a lifesaver. Make sure you’re ready for any situation with this starter kit.
While not all of these items may be essential for you, they are great to have on hand as a precaution in case you get stuck in the middle of nowhere. I learnt this the hard way when I got stuck on a country road for 6-hours waiting for help – disaster. So, if you want to avoid an experience like mine, I thought I would share with everyone what I keep in my car.
Top tip: Grab a durable canvas bag to store your supplies in ⬇️
Broken Down Car
- Jumper cables (be sure to get the right cords for your vehicle)
- Roadside flares/glowsticks
- Flat tire inflation canister (non-explosive)
- Make sure your car has a spare tire stored somewhere
- Car escape tool (incl. seatbelt cutter and window breaker)
If you are stuck, hurt or tired
- First aid supplies kit
- Always keep a bottle of water with you where ever you go!
- Granola / energy bars
- Small tool kit
- Flashlight and extra batteries or flashlight that doesn’t need batteries
- Blankets
- Paper towels, rags and wet wipes
- Pen and paper
If you get lost
- Seasonal supplies (rain gear, umbrella etc.
- Hand-held GPS unit
- Road maps
- Towing strap or chain
- Sanitation (hand sanitizer, towelettes, small trash bags)
- Cell phone charger (left in car at all times)
- Tooth Brush
- Coins and extra money
To some people this may be too extreme, but when you get stuck in the middle of nowhere you’ll thank me later.
