Do you have a "survival" kit in your car? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Cellphone and if I'm traveling away from home, my PPK/s.

LOLS2K · 03-29-2017, 11:30 AM

Keep the ideas coming. I've been wanting to put together an emergency kit for some time now.

How about some MRE's?

The simple first aid kits are nice, but probably won't do much in a car crash situation. I recommend getting some kind of trauma sponge/ compression bandage just in case. These things are amazing at stopping big cuts from bleeding out.

Most kits only have bandaids. Plastic gloves are also good to have packed.

Flash drive of the complete recordings of Bill Evans. If I can't listen to Bill Evans, life's not worth living anyway.

- First aid kit
- Space blanket since they take up almost no space
- Flashlight
- Glow sticks
- Granola bars
- Water Bottles

Most of the same stuff you have here, with that addition of nitrile gloves, trauma scissors, a SAM splint, an Israeli Bandage, a combat tourniquet (CAT) and a couple of velcro closure ace bandages.

This is my winter kit, for summer I add a gallon of SPF 50 and a quart of Aloe Vera gel.

My survival kit includes:

3 foot zip ties.
1 foot zip ties
popclips assorted
hose clamps
bungie cords
extra light bulbs: headlights, markers, blinkers etc...
Scredrivers, Phillip & standard.
Small Socket set
TQ wrench for wheels
Lug nut adapters
Gloves
Jumper cables
Extra battery in a milk crate.

Basically everything to get the car going or zip the bumper on if I hit a deer. (I really live in the middle of nowhere)

My wife actually hit a semi tire, and used the kit to zip the bumper back on.

Metal cup
Pair of mitts, socks and a balaclava

Intermediate level First Aid kit

Summer:
First aid kit
Very basic tool set

Interesting list... I take it that your disaster strategy assumes that you will have access to hot and cold water to enable easy consumption of instant coffee and powdered juice..

I have candles and a metal cup. If stuck it is because of snow so water isn't an issue.

JD001 · 03-29-2017, 02:26 PM

My provisions are:

Cell phone
Car cleaning products
Electric tyre pump and tyre gloop
Foot pump
Waterless car cleaning spray
Some chewing gum

Ready to clean the car if a bird shits on it!
