Emergency
Vehicle-Travel Kit
By
Adelia Ladson
When
you’re driving to work or driving for a vacation, there’s always the
possibility of having some kind of vehicle emergency. You could have a tire
blow-out, get caught in an unexpected blizzard or have your engine overheat in
the summer, leaving you stranded. It’s absolutely imperative that you have a
kit in your vehicle that has some basic survival tools and emergency supplies
to be prepared for a vehicle emergency. So grab a good, sturdy zippered bag
that you can keep in your trunk and let’s start packing your vehicle emergency
kit.
What’s In The Bag
As
I said above, there are several scenarios that you could face when you’re out
on the road. These are the basic emergency tools and gear that you need to pack
in your bag for both a warm weather and a cold weather, minor to major, vehicle
emergency.
Car Battery
Jumper And Power Bank
Of
course, one of the most common emergencies is that you stop, and your
automobile battery goes dead. It’s not so bad when you’re parked at a
restaurant or state-funded rest stop. But what if you stopped to get that
picture of your kids in front of one of those picturesque Saguaro cactuses in
the desert or stopped to picnic at a roadside park in the mountains, which is,
basically, just a picnic table? Sometimes, mobile service isn’t very reliable
in these kind of areas, so calling for roadside assistance may not be an
option. Wouldn’t you like the peace of mind to know that you’ll be able to
immediately jump your battery in even the remotest location?
That being said, the first item to go into
your bag is the Car Battery Jumper and Power Bank. I have this product in my kit, and I absolutely love how
compact it is in its zippered case that doesn’t take-up a lot of room. On a
full charge, the 8,000 mAh battery power bank can jump a vehicle approximately
20 times and it will retain a charge for approximately three months. The sleek
white power bank has a jump start socket, USB port and 12V input port, plus an
LED light with three modes. The kit includes a home adapter plug and a car
adapter plug to charge the power bank and the battery clamps with jumper
cables.
It
never fails that, at the worst possible time, your phone’s battery will, all of
a sudden, need charging and that is the absolute truth. You know. You’ve been
there. Being stranded on the side of the road with no way to call for help is a
place you don’t want to be! You can use the USB multi-head cable, that’s included
with the Car Battery Jumper and Power Bank, to charge your smart phone. On a
full charge, the unit will juice up a smart phone three times and it takes
about an hour to charge it fully.
Compact First
Aid Travel Kit
The
next thing that you need to pack in your bag is a first aid kit. Whether you’re
traveling cross-country or going to your kid’s ballgame, having supplies to
deal with those minor medical emergencies is important. A rounded, zippered EVA
case secures the supplies neatly organized inside the Compact First Aid Travel Kit,
making it the perfect size to drop into your vehicle emergency kit. You’re
getting a total of 85 pieces including a pair of vinyl gloves, assorted sizes
of bandages and dressings, adhesive tape, alcohol prep pads, sting relief pads,
antiseptic towelettes and a mini rescue whistle. Rest assured that you’re
prepared for basic first aid treatment with this great, little first aid kit!
M48 Survival
Tool Box
If
you want to be completely prepared for any automotive emergency, you need to
pack the M48 Survival Tool Box in
your bag. You never know what you could face if your vehicle breaks down,
especially, in a less-traveled area. You don’t know what exactly you may need
to survive but it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll be able to pull it out of
this box. Some of the most important items it contains are a flashlight, a
tactical pen with a glassbreaker, a paracord bracelet, and a ferro rod with a
steel striker. You just never know, if you’re going to need to start a fire for
warmth or to boil water.
Hydration
Tools
And
speaking of water…hopefully, you’re in the habit of bringing a few bottles of
water with you when you’re commuting or traveling, whether it’s winter or
summer. However, you should add some kind of container to carry water in, just
in case, you run out drinking water or if your vehicle’s engine overheats.
The 20-Liter Water Bag makes
a great addition since it folds down compactly and has handles on both ends. It
also has a twist spout for easy pouring, which if you have to add water to your
vehicle’s radiator, is invaluable. As far as drinking water goes, add a few
packets of Rothco Water Purification Powder in your bag. You
can use the empty water bottles and the powder to purify water for consumption.
Emergency Food
Along
with water, you also need to plan for a meal or two in the advent that you’re
stranded for several hours, overnight or, at the most extreme, a couple of
days. The extreme being caught in a blizzard or stranded in an out of the way
place. A few meals pouches from the Ready Hour 72-Hour Kit Sample Pack are the perfect options to put in your vehicle
emergency kit.
All
you need to do is add water and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes. You’ll find
breakfast, lunch and dinner meal choices. The heavy-duty, resealable pouches
have zipper tops and oxygen absorbers have been inserted into them to extend
the shelf-life. So, you’re going to need to add the Trailblazer Folding Pocket Stove, which is ideal for your vehicle emergency kit because it folds down to
a very small size and comes with eight solid fuel cubes. Add to that the Mil-Spec Aluminum Mess Kit and
the Camp Dining Tool and
you’ll be ready to prepare and eat your meal.
Wool Blanket
Sitting
next to your vehicle emergency bag should be a wool blanket. The properties
of wool put it way ahead of other textiles, making it suitable in any
environment or weather condition. The fabric resists heat flow, impeding heat
transfer either in or out, which makes it great insulation from the heat of the
desert or the cold of the mountains. It also retains insulation even when wet,
absorbing almost one-third of its own weight in water, giving it an inherent
wicking ability. If you’re stranded in your automobile during the winter, it
will be a lifesaver. It’s a great picnic blanket in a non-emergency situation.
It’s a must-have to cover a victim who’s gone into shock. There are just too
many uses for a wool blanket to list here.
Tow-Rope
There
are just certain items that you need to keep in your vehicle for roadside
emergencies and a tow rope is one of them. The BugOut 20-Foot Tow Strap has a 2 1/4-ton rating
that makes it a great addition to your vehicle emergency bag. The strap is made
of 1 9/10” wide, bright orange reinforced polyester webbing with a heavy-duty
steel hook on each end.
Signaling
Tools
You
need to make sure your vehicle is easy to find for rescuers, so you need to add
some kind of signaling tool to your vehicle emergency bag. Flameless road
flares are great because they’ll last for hours and hours. Another good thing
to have in your car is a piece of bright-colored plastic that you can hang out
of your window or tie to your antenna. Just get one of those cheap plastic
table cloths to keep in your vehicle’s survival kit.

40 Survival Uses for WD-40
WD-40 can be found in just about every household. But if you’re
a prepper, you might want to get a few extra cans so you'll have plenty on hand
for all kinds of applications and projects.
We use several cans a
month for our business, mini-farm and home…
Keep in mind that there are many types of WD-40. In this
article, we’ll be looking at survival uses for the original WD-40, also known
as WD-40 Multiuse. You can find more information on the different types of
WD-40 at their website. Of course, it’s important to use the right tool
for the job, so let’s look at some uses for the original old-favorite, WD-40.
1. Degreaser - WD-40 is an excellent
degreaser. Use it to remove grease from hands, tools, clothing, and fabric.
Apply WD-40 to the material, allow it to sit, then wash the garment. You may
want to spot test WD-40 on the garment first...

The U.S. electric grid is the largest machine in the history of
mankind. No one person owns or controls it. It's actually 3,000 different companies,
both public and private sector, that own or operate little pieces of the
electric grid.
What’s unfortunate is it’s a machine that is rapidly
deteriorating. It has grown and evolved over more than a century with new
technologies added and in some cases, piled on top of old and antiquated
technologies.
Complicating matters is that the grid has vulnerable points
across the country that often rely on neighboring utilities and infrastructure
to compensate for local failures. The result is the potential for a cascade
failure if systems and infrastructure become overwhelmed...

Makes much sense [which is why many will ignore this advice]
Too many consider that bottle of Jack or bag of weed as their emergency supply!
I hadn't thought much about a kit for my vehicle, However, given how much time we drive [or on vacations] this is a darn good idea.
Wish we had the foresight for this a couple of years back when we got stranded in the CA desert.
In reply-we do have a kit now!
