Today’s we are going to talk about vehicle preparedness. This is designed to be stuff that can be in just about any vehicle at all times and yet you still have room for your groceries and your kids. Next while two is one and one is none, we are not looking to over do redundancy here. So this list assumes you have a good BOB (72 hour kit) and that it goes in your vehicle when needed (most times) and that you also carry a reasonable EDC kit on your person.
We also purposefully left out items like guns and ammo. This list is something that even a 17 year old girl really should have in her car and know how to use. Some items are also more “kits” or groups of items or classifications of items as well. This is to make the list as universal as possible, and allow individual adaptation for your unique needs.
Finally this is not an exhaustive list for a 4×4 trip into the mountains or the desert when you’d really benefit from things like a high jack, a winch or a come along. Or a trailer with 50 extra gallons of fuel on it and enough “camping gear” to hide out in the hills for a month. Nope, it is essentially and EDC for your vehicles.
