Do you have a "survival" kit in your car?
 
Just curious as to what supplies you keep in your car for those "what if" scenarios. Tools, medical supplies, etc?

Been looking to create one, but haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

Until it goes flying in a crash or you have no service......

Anywho I have a small basic 1st aid kit that comes with a few items for survival. Other then that I dont have much.

Tire inflator, small collapsible shovel (winter), some granola bars, a blanket, and a small tool set. But first line of defense is definitely a call to the CAA.
Also have one of those little power bank jump starter kits, but the two times I needed it, it failed miserably (although the CAA guys needed 2 of their heavy duty jumpers to get my car started).

Not much other than a cell charger, basic first aid kit and spare tire/tools in the trunk.

I keep an emergency duffel in my trunk at all times. Includes a towel, a couple sets of clothes, a basic first aid kit, a bag of twigs and a strike-type fire starter.

for car-specific stuff I keep a socket wrench with a couple popular socket sizes next to the spare tire and a digital pressure gauge

Good start but add some dry food.
I drive the 401 in the winter way too much to rely on a small prepack like that. The set up I did is good for 24 hours.
