10 Glove Compartment Essential Items | Vehicle Preps

[@TheSpiritualCamp]

Not a lot of survivalist would think to carry supplies to help stray dogs. Mad respect, I salute you !

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Thanks! It's a subject that hits close to home for me, due to dogs that my family has lost over the years of my life due to busy roads. :(

[@betruetoyourself7162]

This is also important for any pet owners for when the leash breaks or the dog runs out the gate and you jump in the car in a rush and forget the leash.

[@celticsunrise8764]

@@TheUrbanPrepper Our family does the same but we never thought of jerky...great tip and video. You're such a compassionate and thoughtful guy which is evident by so much of what you share in your content.

[@jonschmitt9252]

Your love for dog-saving made me finally subscribe. You seem like a kind dude.

[@whodakat9989]

I love it. I’m adding them to my vehicle.

[@JamieHitt]

And a small cheap duffel bag. So that you can remove all of your personal items when dropping your vehicle at the shop.

[@clarkkent4991]

I use that same idea in my vehicles. You are really thinking. Most people that I have told that I do that look at me like I just invented math! Lol. Great minds.

[@jonschmitt9252]

Genius!

[@leesweets4110]

Great idea.

[@tacticoolmitch213]

Instead of carrying the dog leash with a clip, try carrying one with a carabiner. You can clip the carabiner onto the leash itself making a “slip knot” of sorts that can be put around a dogs neck without a collar. Or it can also clip onto a leash.

[@DutchBikeBlogger]

Remarkably an Altoids tin with the original content still in it. Nice video

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

LOL!! Thanks!

[@FiveElementsTactical]

The vomit bags are really great. So many uses for them. I have them EVERYWHERE. Not just because my kids get carsick sometimes. So handy. Great heads up for your viewers. Great idea. 💡 And the stuff for saving dogs...👍🏼👍🏼 Great video!

[@JohnSmith-mf2sy]

My buddy works in a hospital and brings them to me all the time. Handy item to keep around.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Thanks a bunch! Yeah, I have them everywhere too. Fairly affordable and super beneficial to have when someone isn't feeling well. I love saving stray dogs if I can. We've lost a few of our family dogs over my lifetime due to busy streets and I don't want other families to have to go through that sorrow.

[@FiveElementsTactical]

@@TheUrbanPrepper YOU ROCK!!! Keep it up. Love your channel!

[@ericsteel173]

Cliff, I know you are in Seattle, which has relatively mild temps. For those of us in the South, where temps can get over 100F outside and approach 150F inside a car, I have found that I have to take that into account for my car prep choices. Alkaline batteries don’t do well, they break down and become a mess. Spare food and drinks can be problematic. And meds need speecial attention. Be careful, there some OTC meds don’t play well in high temps or freezing temps.

[@jannah4288]

Hi Eric. A good way to combat the temps for some things is to have them in a cooler. A small lunch cooler would work well for the smaller items. And also, keep the cooler under the dash or seat.

[@pegianddon]

This is a GREAT video, Brother! A lot of our escape planning revolves around the car, so I can't believe that I haven't the time to prep my ride. I will be exploring this further. Thank you! P.S. I didn't see any affiliate links for the TravelJohn or rescue tool. I want to buy those and support your channel.

[@OilysHumbleHome]

Heck ya! Great series! The dog rescue items really hit home! I have rescued several myself and those items would have come in handy!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Thank you so much! I hate seeing dogs running loose. We've lost a few family dogs over the years who ran out into traffic and it is devastating. I try to save as many family dogs as I can to return them safely to their owner.

[@OilysHumbleHome]

@@TheUrbanPrepper Same here. We actually had a furbaby missing for almost 3 months, and it was horrible wondering if she was ok, thirsty, hungry, injured or scared, so it is especially important to me to help other furbabies get back to their humans. Thankfully, our furbaby was found and is back with us.

[@cheeto.1]

I don’t know how I missed a TUP video but glad I went back & checked. Soooooo much content over the years TUP is the best!

[@krymsonuchiha14]

I finally got my license and working on getting a car. Im only getting a sedan since i can't afford much else, but these videos help! Thank you!

[@peterryan7340]

Leatherman Wave, tyre pressure gauge, BIC lighter, can of antiperspirant, paracetamol and ibuprofen are some extras

[@ReeRAWR]

As someone in semi rural Australia I have a crate in the back of my car 99% of the time. Never know when I’m going to buy some chickens, take the dog to the vet or have to take a possum to the vet. Thanks for being prepped for animals too :)

[@InclusiveDriving]

Greetings from the United Kingdom. I keep Hi-Viz vests in every door pocket in my car. It's the first item I'd want to have if I came across an incident or had a breakdown.

[@hello2jello4mellow34]

The stray dog rescue items saved my day. Thanks!

[@DrMichaelRoach]

Great video as always Cliff. I think the rescue-me tools are brilliant. I use the high-vz yellow ones, and attach them to the supports for the car seat headrests with zipties, which I then trim down. This way if they get dropped down into the footwell of the car when trying to escape, they are easier to spot. I also stow high viz vests in the seat pockets, with enough for all passengers. I also think it is important to keep major trauma items at easy reach of the driver, such as trauma bandage and CAT tourniquet. If I'm in a crash and injured and trapped in my seat, these are items you need within reach.

[@s.coloradosteader8097]

I admire that you take the time to help dogs that need assistance. The majority of people don't think twice about it and drive on. Those vomit bags look like they could be used for collecting and toting some water if you find yourself in that situation. Happy 10 year anniversary on your channel. 🍺🥂

[@adorabell4253]

Hand cream and lip balm and hangnail clippers. Never underestimate just how painful and annoying dry hands and lips can be and how long a torn hangnail can hurt for.

[@SCSC-qz7rr]

I have: hand sanitizer, napkins, trash bags, pepper spray, dental floss, plastic forks & spoons, band-aids, utility knife or hammer little thing, emergency blanket, hand wipes, and I can’t remember what else, I haven’t checked lately since I’m not driving that much...

[@ispysaidmylittleeye3489]

You can always throw in a stuffed toy and extra blankets and some kotex in case you come across an accident and a child is involved. You never know. But you're ideas are great for your wonderful family!

[@clarkkent4991]

Great vid!!! Can’t wait for more content!!! .....side note I’m a little concerned about that lonely Corona “beer”. I’m wondering what ever became of it. Was it reunited with the other 5 brothers? Lol.

[@WalterWorldVlog]

In my glove box I also keep my safety vest (with extra straps for the wrists and ankles. 3:15 The flashlight I keep in the car is a dynamo powered one. The main reason being that I didn't want to have to worry about checking another set of rechargeable batteries. 6:24 Oh… the dog rescue kit is a very neat idea! 🐶

[@Speedracerrr43232]

Supplies for helping stray pups,solid idea I never thought about that

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

I get a lot of joy when I'm able to save a stray dogs. It's nice to have some supplies on hand to help do that.

[@Speedracerrr43232]

@@TheUrbanPrepper I agree, I have had good luck getting them back to their home

[@saetmusic]

Excellent video! In a nod to the pandemic, I now keep a small zip-lock freezer bag with several masks and a couple pairs of nitrile gloves, in the storage place between the seats. That, along with a bottle of spray hand sanitizer, which, like you ,I keep in a cup holder.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Excellent, Joseph!

[@ericburgos]

I had a 2005 Fiji Blue Element EX with a manual. I loved that little thing.

[@jonschmitt9252]

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for introducing me to the Travel John. I have three sons and we take several very long roads trips per year. It always seems like they decide they have to go RIGHT NOW. Sometimes they have to pee in empty bottles when we can’t stop the car. It gets messy. I’m not a fan. 😂

[@bryannorris8049]

As someone in a warmer climate, I wouldn't trust hand sanitizer that stays in the car through the summer. All my in-use sanitizer will lose significant volume during the summer if it gets left in a vehicle. Given that alcohol has a lower boiling point than anything else in the sanitizer, the most likely culprit is the stuff that actually does the germ killing is boiling off and escaping the bottle leaving just the moisturizer and fragrance.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Good point! Washington doesn't get too hot or too cold, so there's many vehicle preps that I have that wouldn't necessarily work in other regions.

[@anette7519]

As always, your vids are excellent. I love that you are such a dog lover. I, too, keep things on hand in case I come across a stray that needs to be rescued. Never thought of the jerky treats, so I plan to have some. I also recommend keeping a large rolled up towel, in case you need to gather up an animal. They can be quite dirty and covered with ticks and fleas. Also gloves specifically for handling them for the same reason. Large and long silicone gloves for ovens might be good to keep in your car for easy cleanup. I keep them all in a large heavy duty plastic bag with other dog items.

[@diane-s3391]

Good to see continuation of the vehicle preps!

[@heatherjasper97]

My neighbors' dogs used to escape semi-frequently, so I kept a leash, collar, squeaky toy, and some treats in my car just in case. Edit: And I have been waiting for the next vehicle video! Good timing too, since I just got a new car last week.

[@ladylibertypreparedness6601]

Wow, vomit bags and dog treats I really need to up my vehicle preps! Thank for giving such great ideas. Awesome video as usual 👏

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Thank you so much for watching, LLP!

[@rbrazz]

You can use the leash on any dog without a collar by clipping it on itself 15" (ish) back and forming a loop. Or even using the handle loop to make a quick dog lasso!

[@ABD4VIDS]

Excellent!! Great video as always! I keep a collapsible silicone water cup ( you can find it for about 1.50 in Walmart camping section) in my passenger door to be able to give a pup some water. I also keep a leash handy. I clip a carabiner on the handle of all my leashes for two purposes. One if I’m out with one of my dogs and need to use both hands I can clip the leash to my belt loop so they are still attached to me. Second on a stray with no collar I can loop the leash back around and have a slip loop to put around them.

[@RAMTEX1986]

You’ve inspired me brother!😃👍🏼

[@josephinecronin1195]

I’ve have a dilemma. I’m in the UK and petrol (gas) prices are insane - over 10 dollars a gallon. I can’t load up my car with too much stuff because it affects petrol consumption. I stick with what we always need - rainwear, towel, blanket, first aid kit, hazard triangle and regularly rotated snack bars/mints. Obviously always water to drink.

[@sheilasmith2053]

Great video, love the tool to cut the seat belt or break a window, had never seen that before. Great info, I shared it.

[@jannah4288]

. And having one for each passenger door is a great idea!

[@EatCarbs]

I keep my ice scraper on the side of the drivers side door. This way I can reach in, start the car, and get to scraping.. the whole time grumbling about Spring needing to hurry. lol Thanks for the video brother

Dash camera. Forward, rear, cabin Magnetic gun mount under the steering column. CB radio First aid kit Pain relief including ibuprofen and antacids. Water bottles Food/snacks blanket jumper cables, jack, tire pressure, etc. for auto repair Leatherman multitool - typically on my person, EDC. AC Inverter. Power adapters Spare gasoline hygiene bag...not just the bare minimum but a full fledged travel case, everything I could want spending the night at a friends house. I used to keep travel luggage in case I needed to run to the airport and take a flight on immediate notice.

[@sabrinaqualley5743]

After having my car battery die a couple times in the airport parking lot, I keep a car battery jump starter in my glove compartment. My Honda CRV only has an emergency key for the driver door, so I need to be able to reach it from the driver's seat. Thankfully the battery problem was a software issue that has since been fixed, but I've used the jump starter for someone else's car and it worked great.

[@ummcheese7]

Great video. Waiting on the 2nd part of the video. Interested in the Element.

[@kristinb5121]

Ever since being stuck in a traffic jam for several hours, I will never be without a Travel John in the glove compartment. This can even be used by the driver when traffic’s stopped. Also, I always keep a paper map of the area in my glove compartment. I try to replace these every few years because they do get outdated. I put the older versions in my guest bedroom.

[@DonLewis9274]

Philadelphia checking in. I have majority of everything in this video, I also have a few ponchos in each door panel. On the driver side door I have a multi-tool not my EDC obviously. Work gloves also.

Besides some basics you mentioned, I live in Firefornia, I have extra batteries, baofeng 5uvr, first aid kit, a boost oxygen bottle, a half mask respirator with P100, high grade contractor bags some plywood, etc.

[@StarDarkAshes]

I thought the leash was a California kingsnake at first. 😝

[@davidcarter8457]

Thoughtful, and informative. Maybe some Imodium, for those SHTF situations.

[@truepatriot2404]

Along with the first aid kit, I keep a small stop the bleed kit in the driver's door. There's a full trauma kit in the back, but a quick grab kit that's handy will get things started, a passenger or bystander could grab main kit if necessary. Also, I keep a bottle of water anywhere I have a kit with medications in it. Makes dealing with taking the meds easier than looking for a drink to go with. I run first aid on the driver's side simply because I'm normally alone in vehicle and if something were to happen it's within reach without leaving seat.

[@engineeredlifeform]

I have sun visor organisers on both sun visors. Driver's side has a rescue hammer, whistle and a lighter, a notepad, and pen. Other side has a lighter, and an LED striplight, and space for the passenger to place items. I have two gloveboxes, one is utter chaos, and the other is reserved for snacks.

When I had my car I used to always carry a spear leash and of course seeing that I have a service dog I always have treats. I also used to carry a gallon of water and I took an empty gallon of water and cut the bottom section off to make a bowl. I used the same kind of jug as the water comes in so it would Nestle on the bottom of the water jug. But other than that my preps were pretty much the same for my vehicle as yours.
