Car Survival Kit

Sensible Survival Presents: The "Car Survival Kit". We're in our car on the road, far away from home. It's just makes sense to have a backup plan in case of trouble.
Thanks for watching~ Sootch00

[@TheKittenish]

Seeing the can opener made me think of a magnifying glass which would be an excellent addition to the survival kit.

[@simonordo2509]

"Sir, why did you steal that emergency kit out of that car?" "It had a note on it that said 'come and take it, so that's what I did."

[@danielstevens999]

are ypu looking for lolz dude? because you didnt get any, since the 22september not a single person lol'd at your comment. is this disappointing to you? have you been in a downward spiral of self destruction ever since? do you look back on your life now and have a lot of regrets?

+Geoffrey Stephens i feel that your lol is too late... i think he took his own life due to lack of lol's.. but we can lol together in his memory 😞

A candle and a can of soup. I grew up up north, and blizzards are a real threat. So if you ever get stuck in a storm or go off the road the worst thing you can do is try to walk it home. A candle provides a fuel source for melting snow to drink, or heating your can of soup to stave off hypothermia.

[@fraggeddabloons5679]

The video wasn't even halfway through, already had a box packed for the car. Cheap but reliable .40S&W, matches in a water tight case, few chemlights, a knife, flashlight with the batteries out to prolong life. Nothing extravagant, but just enough.

[@sootch00]

[@survive1013]

I recommend Mechanix M Pact gloves, cheap but one of the best pair of gloves!

[@WeThePeople2020]

I'm odd I guess I keep a 72 hours pack in my trunk at all times. change of clothes, water and food. I broke down on time back east and it was winter it was a nice and beautiful night at a wonderful 5° that night, oh the fun. I had nothing, and it took three days to get to where I was. I learned from that, never again.

[@floydyoung395]

Jason Adams I broke down in pa in the mountains I just opened up my stuff camped and had a great night. If your ready its no big deal

[@floydyoung395]

I'm glad you got out ok

[@apvan9586]

Large diameter plastic soda straws...using candle and needle nose pliers, melt one end and quickly clamp with pliers to seal it. Put in survival food, such as spaghetti, powdered milk, Kool-aid, coffee, sugar, etc. then seal open end...I have these in all my bug out/survival bags...Light, take up little space and are water proof. I even have some straws that hold 8 .22rimfire rounds, fishing line and small hooks, matches with striker strip, vaseline soaked cotton balls, tobacco and rolling papers. Use your imagination for your straws! Great video! I watch them all...

[@robertbrodeur4290]

Don, I really appreciate your common sense counsel. You are my favorite KZbin channel. If you are in or around Hendo, NC, there is an open door waiting. Rob.

[@JFSTL]

i dont know if it was said ! but to help with humidity you can use silica gel!

[@vw4x4]

MAn I 've watch several of this survival kit videos and one thing for sure, most people are clueless!

[@gerrynance7410]

Good kit, similar to one of mine. I later added 2 30 gallon plastic chests to organize my summer camping gear. That got me to spend time inventorying my truck from glovebox, cab to camper shell. Computers are great tools for this. I was really organized for a few years. Every 6 months inspect, repair, replace.

[@gigemlaw]

Priorities are: 1. Auto Maintenance 2. Comms 3. Nav. For 1 add siphon, belt, fuses, fix a flat. For 2 add handheld CB and or cell phone charge capability. For 3 add maps and/or a gps unit. Great Video.

[@thekenny1175]

I would not count on being near a water source. I would store potable water in the car as well. Also, I didn't see a container for disinfecting water with the tablets. Water is the absolute number one necessity next to temperature regulation.

[@SurvivalCitizen]

I agree, have some liter bottles of water... That is the beauty of a vehicle, it doesn't mind the extra ounces and pounds added to it, unlike our backs and feet...

[@justintegtmeier]

Silmarrillion123 - I wrap my water in a Mylar sheet. It’s kept my water cool in the car on 100+ days in central Texas. Keep it out of the sun and wrapped up and you should be alrighty! Also, stainless steel bottles won’t break or leech chemicals. They also help keep water cool.

[@MrLobsterity]

i highly envy the americans' rights to carry self-defence weapons

[@RemoteViewr1]

2 meter ham hand held radio would be a nice addition. Nice to be able to call for help to the greater world. Really love your idea here, I was thinking of getting this done, but hadn't thought on using an ammo can with such a good seal for the lid. Thanks for making the video.

[@bucki58]

One of the nicest kits for the car I have seen. Each item is high quality and won't break on you if and when you need it!

[@523Preston]

I recommend tampons as a fires starter. No joke they are a serious option as a fire starter, some are contained in a somewhat waterproof case, amazing little things; highly recommended.

[@masonowen839]

And its good to plug a bullet hole. You never know

[@EdRoy1973]

***** lol

[@trashpanda_t4r]

As Mason stated, tampons are also good for wounds. Tampons and pads have many trauma uses and applications, and aren't expensive.

[@LoneWolf4426]

I would not recommend using tampons for stopping trauma related bleeding. This is a good article about the issues with using tampons. www.personaldefensenetwork.com/tampons-for-drama-not-trauma/

[@KosukiFire]

DO NOT use tampons on a GSW. You will turn a 1 hour surgery into a 2-3 hour surgery and that csn kill someone plus infection risks. Tampons little fibers get stuck in wounds and cause problems. You can use max pads as a cover for a GSW. Now best thing if you do not have professional supplies is a cotton shirt. Use a pocket knife and cut into 1" thick strips and pack a GSW. Just please do not use a tampon.

[@Houstontexxxas]

A second cell phone battery. You can get one for under ten dollars from ebay and they keep a charge for months.

[@bomartin]

i carry one of these all the time, i live in a hurricane area, so you never know when this will come in handy. thanks for helping keep the people informed.

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

My kit is actually in one of those jumbo picnic baskets. I keep mine simple. Food, water, sterno, cooking utensils and a small steel pot.. Other essentials are always in my car anyway. Sidearm with extra ammo, Leatherman, BIC, extra blankets, gallon jug of water, basic med kit, ect. In my opinion the water, blankets, and handgun are the most critical items to have.

[@brodobroggins]

The priorities in wilderness survival are, in order: STOP, first aid, shelter, fire, signaling, water, and food. You can survive without food for 3 weeks, only 3 days without water. So I would pack, in order: First aid kit, trauma kit, space blanket, knife, waterproof matches, ham radio/flare, and fill the rest of the space/mass with potable water. Everything else is a waste of precious weight. A water purifier is useless without access to groundwater or open water. Make a solar still using saran wrap. Your best chance at wilderness survival is receiving outside help before you perish. Most importantly, notify friends and family of your travel plans before starting a trip.

[@diantecrawford5107]

Switch fire and shelter Can only survive 3 hours in extreme conditions

[@DoctorFinkMD]

Part of my problem is the climate here in the south. Hot and humid, 24/7 with a few months of nice weather during the "winter". The ammo can is certainly a great way to store things and will fit behind the seat of my regular cab nicely. Thanks, as always, Sootch!

[@230rida]

I keep a bag of beef jerky and some candy in mine. Jerky is high in protein and candy is a morale booster (barely but it counts) and keeps your mouth moist. We use them on our lifeboat kits when we go out on merchant ships.

[@MrSmith336]

I like the idea of an ammo can to carry in my trunk, I drive a great deal and have seen how easy the roads can be blocked by stopped traffic, and lately protesters.. If I needed to leave my vehicle to make it home I want to carry the contents of my "get home ammo can" in a lightweight rucksack. The ammo can will protect the contents until needed, but in my case I would maybe somehow try to add a surplus rucksack to the content of the can. If not, the maybe store it in the trunk too in a large ziplock bag. You posted this video 2/22/2012. Its four years later and I feel even more urgency to be prepared.

[@BiPolarBear1981]

the keep 2 go tubes are actually unblown 20oz soda/water bottles. FYI

[@TheNuggetshooter]

Excellent video - very informative. Thank you!

[@Ironmaiden666trp]

I keep contractor garbage bags in my car. If a window breaks, a bag and some duct tape will fix it on the fly. There are also countless other uses as well. Great video!

[@MattiasDanielsson]

Also a box of car supplies would be handy. Oil, filters, different tools , etc. tec.

[@TikiTiffany]

great ideas!!

[@zombieland6484]

Awesome video, People in the Greater North East need this now. You should market it. Thanks for the information

[@greedkiller]

Nice setup! A few other suggestions might be: - Emergency drinking water - (Solar or battery powered) charger for mobile phone / backup phone - Road flares - Emergency tire inflate kit (saved me once) - GPS locator

[@redbengal2864]

So, question. Not trying to be a dick. Just asking because I'm a bit new to putting bags/kits together. Isn't some of this redundant? The Swiss Army knife, Glock knife, pocket knife on that bundle of stuff on a cord, a box cutter and a multi-tool which has a knife. Not to mention your EDC package. I get that "one is none and two is one," but that's a lot of knives. And isn't there a get-home bag in the vehicle too with a lot of the stuff in this can? The blanket, flashlight, gear, etc. Or no. Just trying to learn. Thanks.

[@JamesSmith-gt2tq]

Redundancy can be a good thing because knives go dull and things break. Also, I think it's meant to resupply your main EDC or get home bag on the go where you might not be able to access extras.

[@DustinBKerensky97]

I agree, it's good to have some redundancy but each redundant item is additional weight and additional bulk. Do you need 2 multitools in 1 backup kit? I haven't seen his EDC and Bug Out kits but I bet they each have 1 or more multitools too. Plus he says he keeps an additional tool kit in the car. My advice for him is the same I give to every Prepper. Actually bugout with your gear. No more suburban planning from you comfy den with the big screen TV and the game on; do a trial run where you bug out from your home into your mountain retreat and survive on your bug out bag at least for 3 days if not for a whole week. Treat it like a minimalist camping trip. Most people will find hauling 3 multitools, 2 Tactical flashlights, 2 pistols and ammo, a shotgun, and 4 various knives slows them down so much they can't make it the 5 miles to the city limits, let alone the 30 miles a day to get away from civilization. And if you can't bug out when times are good and there are gas stations to buy road snacks at, how do you expect to last a day when SHTF?

[@Isheian]

RedBengal There's a rules in being prepared: One is none, two is one. Logic is that if your one thing breaks your outta luck. So have a spare, cause something always goes wrong.

[@blankfocus1521]

He says he also has another first aid kit in the car etc etc. Prepping is great and all, but when the trunk of your car is so full of prepping gear that you have no room for groceries, what's the point?

[@katinsharp1764]

Get the life straw from vat19

[@bruceforster4209]

Your comment is good, and I have no issues with it. I would like to add, however, that VHF/UHF Ham handheld radios can access Repeaters which can extend your range by up to several hundred miles. I live in Oregon. Using the W.I.N. system, I was once broke down on the road. I got help from someone in ALABAMA! He called the OR State Police, and got a tow truck sent out. I will NEVER put down CB-they are definitely good to have. Ham gives you that much more!

[@scohen47]

Great Vid/ideas. Water, tape, socks/extra clothes, pair boots, pack to transfer contents to. Also I would consider transferring anything from its original packaging into a garbage or ziplock bag. Many more uses than any original packaging...Great vid.

[@57HarleyDavidson]

It's called being prepared for anything

[@breakermorant2428]

You're welcome. Who you gonna call?

[@Deepcore854]

Sootch- Here are some suggestions: 1) instead of carrying a Frontier Straw, use a Steri-Pen (CR123) or a Sawyer Filter 1 Million Gals. 2) a Flashlight w/ strobe &/or SOS capability. 3) Get a Laser Flare for signaling (uses CR123 & can be seen 20 miles night/3 miles daytime). These are what I use in my BOB & Vehicle.

[@turboyoda]

just a pointer, the write in the rain note pad kind of defeats the purpose with the ball point pen. the ink does not run when exposed to water ONLY if you use the pen designed for it. if you want to save the $15 on the special pen grab a couple pencils from the lottery table next time your at the gas station, pencil will not bleed like ink.

[@firebugi869]

I have a kit like this and carry a cheap string backpack thing I got as a promo gift. I plan to ditch the ammo can and put it all in the pack. I took the string bag and vacuum sealed it to make it more compact. They are not comfortable but work for a short term emergency bag. Otherwise love the kit, keep passing the knowledge!

[@robertcale4797]

Good kit. Looks like you got it covered. God Bless America.

[@Carroll49]

Good stuff. Always know how to use what you pack. A good test is to wait for a cool rainy day, at a local campsite and only use your kit for 24hrs.

[@FRENZYFIRE54]

I need to update my kit with the water purification options. The most used item in my kit, has actually been the latex gloves. I have about 5 pair ready now. Thanks for the informative video.

[@greymajickjedi]

LOVE this dude!!!! Not only is he clearly a Glenn Beck listener, but that German army Flacktar raingear in the backround means he's probably also a fellow Sportsman's Guide customer! :D

[@ugavinings]

Great video sootch...I went out and got an ammo can at the local Army/Navy store for $12 and have started my own car kit. Keep 'em coming!

[@TheKingOfChem]

Good idea to have those silver coins... depending on the date of the buffalo coins (from mid 1800's to early 1900's) they could be worth a lot of money; especially in a survival situation where paper money looses its value! Nice job

[@lesterclaypool1]

Last trip to the in-laws I stopped at the service center and parked beside two kids on bikes, one of those bikes wasn't running. The young fellows, late teens early 20's, couldn't believe the tools and supplies I keep in my car as a rule. I gave them my extra multi driver and some lengths of wire then ended up fixing the problem for them. They were travelling across the province, on bikes, without so much as a screwdriver.

[@QRFCombatVET]

That is a great little car kit. BUT you need to add some toilet paper, and small ziploc bag of your dryer lint which great for starting fires, a two way radio / CB radio, some kind of a GPS device and a couple complete MRE's.

[@JerryJr65]

What i like about your survival kit is that yours thinks about others, not just yourself. In the end we will never be successful if we don't have each other. There is nothing Rambo about our cause!

[@JakeRoy98]

All of this seems overboard to me unless you are off roading in the bush of Alaska. I keep a flashlight, military canteen and Chlor floc tabs. Old wool blanket and a few MRE’s. Always carry my pocket knife and a truck gun.

[@AmazingMrWonderful]

Looks good Sootch. I switched out my small box-cutter for a full-sized utility knife with a box of extra blades. I also added a cheap cell phone with a couple of fully charged batteries (packaged seperately) along with at least a gallon of water (being in South Texas, it's something that's a necessity). I appreciate your work!

[@sactrained527]

Great information and at the end it's always funny with the out takes...

[@OpaKnows]

At one time I used an ammo can for an emergency gear container, but I found that it was too cool, and I didn't get to use it as much as I wanted to, so I replaced it with a cardboard box! I took the ammo can and painted it up (see my video on that). I love these rugged, inexpensive object-carriers. Nice collection of stuff you got there, brother. Peace on you, my friend.

[@drudetube1]

Great kit. Depending on your vehicle may want to consider a plastic/polymer tool box. Esp if you have a trunk. They are durable, lightweight and you can throw a padlock on them. Also may not bang around as much or hit you in accident/sudden stop. The tool box is affordable and holds a little more stuff.

[@LevergunXXX]

Great Kit Sootch. I would add a few small fishing lures and some line.

[@SurvivalCitizen]

I prefer netting... If survival, who cares if it is illegal. Actually, if I am in survival, I hope they find me! Please, find me and arrest me... :-)

[@theirvingfamilytube]

I always have Duct Tape in mine. Might be something to add. Thanks for another great video!!!

[@MichelleJustPlayinwatts]

I learned alot from this video...thanks so much for sharing!

[@leemcneil9758]

Got a couple of great ideas for additions to my in-car kit.....thanks for the video!!!

[@rokhedjo]

Excellent video , and not just for "preppers". If you live out-of-town or in a more isolated location, this could save your life. I am in awe of what you got squeezed in to that ammo can.

[@pauljnolan1000]

I liked your emphasis on not "raiding without replacing." Perhaps you might consider adding a real compass. I suggest a marine hand-bearing compass for serious navigation. Also at least two tourniquets, the simple rubber cord type with its own locking mechanism. A canteen (fill it at the beginning of each summer. Add two drops of bleach.) and canteen cup. The canteen should have a pouch so you can carry it on a web belt. When I think about it, an ammo can is too small. You need a real rucksack full of real equipment and a real aid bag. Probably the best place to start is an army field manual. Thank you for a video that stimulates thought.

[@colleenmcgraw]

i appreciate all you videos. My family teases me about having an earthquake kit living in CA! as well as small scale prepping.... I use a couple of water tight empty big cat litter buckets that hold a lot: one for medical/emergency supplies, one for food/water/fire/cooking, one for sanitation.. they can be used as honey buckets, use the litter for sanitation or chemical spills/fire suppression, and they are grab and carries.. my dad always had his Korean ammo box full of papers which I use now as well.....This Momma is gonna be prepped! I have a disabled daughter and I am her barrier to the world if we have a natural disaster or hazardous situation .Why wouldn't people take some basic care for food, water, shelter, hygiene and protection? If you never need it then great but it's too late if you aren't ready and something happens.....i have friends in Red Cross and 1st Responders and they warned me that i need to survive for a minimum of 2 weeks without assistance. My family thinks we will all band together, probably true but i could be out on the road when the 'Big One' hits or cut off from family for some period of time......Bet most folks are only ready for 3 days....So easy to prep cheaply and have peace of mind... Thanks for all you do and I learn a lot watching your videos. They won't be laughing when we get a big earthquake or disaster and I have myself and my kid secured to the best of my ability...

[@garyhuelsman5313]

Sootch00: Love your sensible survival videos. Comprehensive list of needs both for home (shelter-in place,& on the road.you have almost all contingencies covered.In your lock safe bag, emercency contact list. in case your cell phone with all your information not available. Great job

[@oneeyedpatriot]

Very well thought out. I am going to downsize mine but I do carry either a roll of toilet paper and/or hemroid pads that are individually wrapped which makes them compact. (not for hemroids but the witch hazel makes a great cleaning item in a pinch)

[@mike48632]

Great kit , I am going to my local army surplus and pick up some of those items I wish I had thought of such an idea !

[@GlockumOllie]

Load list, prior service. I like to see someone prepared due to preplanning. Good job Sir.

[@madmadmike5]

Really great kit. The only thing I saw missing was something to store water. In the Marine Corps, my Staff Sargeant recommended using unlubricated condoms, because the store very small, but the latex will expand alot to accomodate water. But since this is a Car Kit, and you have a whole ammo can, you could easily fit a water bottle of some sort in there.

[@uscray]

don't forget to put it back in your car ! really appreciate you putting out everyday common sense videos.

[@sherman614]

I've never seen anyone make a survival kit in an actual ammo can.. And it's so simple. Great idea, I honestly want to try this!

[@paulmcmanus9603]

You need to include some candles. If you are caught in a blizzard, and slide off a lonely road in say Kansas for example, a candle provides light, heat in the car, and you can melt snow for drinking water.

[@thenrylee]

Someone already suggested toilet paper. I suggest small liquid soap, hand sanitizer, and had sanitizer wipes (to wipe down public conveniences). There are some ill equipped restrooms out there. Suggest 2 of the nylon tow cables, long jumper cables, good book, playing cards. gallon of water, electric air pump, seasonal items ( rain, mosquitoes, + sun are the big ones on the gulf coast), and a change of clothes. I could go on, but I'm running out of space. Lol

[@AlwaysSullied]

Excellent video to help get other people started on their kits. I might have to start one with an Alice pack

[@fastacker2]

Same in Texas. I leave the bag in the house, unless going on a long trip. Candles melt, food goes bad really fast, tape melts together, anything like a spray can or fuel canister or lighter is likely as not to explode. Even my platypus turned brown and went rigid. For hot weather I have an insulated bottle carrier from Condor and throw a magnesium bar, compass and a few other things in the little pouch. Have a tarp and a few things in the car, like insect repellant (not pressurized)

[@CharlieForbes524]

The other thought to think of which I don't know the answer too is what can go wrong with your car? Emergency supplies to fix a potential problem so you ARE NOT STRANDED. Thinking of the ways cars go wrong: Electrical - fuses, jumper cables. Spare lights. Fuel - gas can? Tires - Heavy duty lug nut wrench to supplement cheap one in the car kit already. Fix a flat goop, Overheating - bad hoses & radiators. tape, sealant you add to coolant to fix holes on radiator or other parts. The idea with this kit is to make it so you can get to a repair garage on your own without having to depend on rescue or tow truck. Finally pack a bottle of hand sanitizer to clean up with after. But in a survival situation, you also have bottle of jellied alcohol to start a fire with. Any time you can multitask a use your saving space and giving options.

[@TheEndeavoringFamily]

I am glad that you added peanut butter. Very hard to focus under stress without protein!

[@1AbominAble1]

Good idea using the ammo can, I use a rubbermaid action packer to hold all of the gear inside an inexpensive back pack, just in case I end up having to travel with the kit. The action packer keeps it discrete and almost weatherproof.

[@dannyrobertson5448]

Thanks for the video. People that don't keep a survival kit in their car are crazy!

[@tonysmith5465]

very well done friend, thanks a lot. keep up the great videos. SC Navy vet.

[@doctorbobdc]

Extra ammo is a good idea, and you will squeeze a little more room from your Survival Kit if you ditch the box and put those cartridges in a zip lock bag w/a note for quick ID.

[@CharlieForbes524]

If your're stranded in your car a water supply and means to transport it would be important. Also, when stranded chances are you'll need jumper cables or have to fix a flat. Which I would say to supplement cheap tire iron/wrench that comes with car with a four way wrench that can fit yours and a variety of other lugnuts. With those you can get more leverage and help others. Finally VISIBILITY. On the side of the road, especially at night a $3-$5 hunters orange vest to slip over your coat to help you be seen. If you can find a small clip on strobe or flashing light for the back even better. For cold weather, In boy scouts they talked about taking a used tuna fish can and tightly coiling a strip of carboard inside this. Then filling it with paraffin wax. It makes a large candle that can supply small amount of heat. However have to be real careful inside the car with it.

[@0391cc]

A packable backpack or tightly rolled pull string bag is a good addition, carrying all of that in the ammo can would get old fast and you may need your hands. Also The handle is a useful spot to clip more gear, just a thought.

[@ppatrick61]

Maybe a few garbage bags, the thick ones, you can cut open to make a make shift tent,and 4 tent steaks, plastic ,lite weight or metal, and a few power full magnets, and a small fishing kit, and in the first aid kit, some needles for wounds.

[@richardcorral4405]

Love it. Love everything about it.

[@thauser777]

Great video. I would add a nylon bag. Bags are useful when you're on the run or gathering things. Also great for off loading your can if you need to use it for something else - like water treatment.

[@epspecialist]

Great presentation thanks for passing on the information.

[@SCATTactical]

Great idea using the ammo can for the car kit.

[@903lew]

Only thing I'd say is that maybe put a table of contents and tape it to the top of the can itself. That way anyone who's not you can have a quick peep and see what's there. Not a biggie, but it always helps to be extra clear. Good vid!

[@00Klingon]

I recommend a candle and a small jar. Not only can it be used as fuel for fire starting, it can also be used to heat a small space like the inside of a car if you become trapped in the winter.

[@TommyRibs]

Safety glasses are good to have in there or in the toolkit, just in case you have to go trouncing through the woods at night.

[@agoogleuser4354]

You know what works GREAT on the gaskets? Pure silicon grease, like what you use on scuba diving equipment.

[@KeiferMarcus]

I carry 200 to 300 shotgun shells at a time in one of those .50bmg cans, they are completely waterproof and great for what you use it for! great for a hunting camp kit too!

[@lukesgametime89]

I freaking love my SUMA. Best survival "tin" out there.

[@pockEclipse]

very cool. possible suggestions: magnesium block and firesteel, surgical tubing (multiple uses in a serious survival situation), bandana/cotton scarf, roll some of the dryer lint in petroleum jelly or dribble with wax, as already mentioned - heavy aluminum foil, film canister of salt (body needs some salt to sweat properly), snare wire/piano wire if you're worried about being stuck in the boonies... i hadn't seen those particular plastic bags before, so thanks for that

[@reddevilparatrooper]

Dont forget to get a GI stainless steel canteen cup or an aluminium German Army mess kit to boil water or collect it when it rains.I used the German mess kit for years back in the Army and the Guard in the field,soon my soldiers started getting one to cook ramen and make coffee with.Just a couple of suggestions.Its an Infantryman's gear tested through combat and time.

[@AlexanderWolf]

The Jetbeam PC10 have an output of 550 lumens (30 min) only with a RCR 123 battery. With one CR 123 you have 265 lumens (1h) . Great video.

[@angryagain68]

nice kit . I know you said you didnt want to carry a water bottle but, i added a "tin cup" in one car kit and a GI canteen cup in my other kit . Because it could be used to boil water to sanitize it or , it could be used with a candle to melt snow. If you got stuck in a snow bank. Or were somehow stranded in your car in winter .It wont use much space in your kit,if you place it at the bottom and place other items inside of it. The canteen cup is a great survival item. for me its a must have.

[@357lockdown]

Some great tips there my friend. Thank you.

[@michaelcrabb3049]

A little Vaseline on the hinge pins and gasket does it for me. It's also a good multi-purpose item for preppers.

[@Hidframe]

Thanks. Very good information. If there's anything i would add to that it would be some insect repellent, some duck tape, and an emergency fishing set.

[@konradterlikowski8788]

I don't know if you have one 24/7 in your car, but a radio in such a kit would be a good idea. You never know what could happen and as long as many people have radios, not anyone would react to a flare in the sky.

[@876Crash]

Depending on the situation, you may wind up with alot of time on your hands. A deck of cards, and/or a paper back book might be helpful while waiting for rescue. If stranded in your vehicle during winter, a lit candle would put off enough heat to keep you from freezing to death.
