One thing I always do is to keep a clean pair of socks in every pair of boots that I have. I usually go barefoot or in sandals and don't usually have socks nearby. That way I don't have to hunt around for something in an emergency and I always keep at least one pair of boots in my vehicle.

[@donnabacon4681]

Great idea!

[@nzbrotrev9028]

A handy item for your go bag is an umbrella, put a cheap tarpaulin over it and you have an instant pop up shelter , can be used as a wind break , to light a fire , shad form the sun or hail , a walking stick , a basic weapon , ( better than nothing).

Great idea! Love it! Thanks!

[@leiag201]

Bugging out is a death sentence for most of us. I found a tiny enclosed parking lot that is fortified and defendable. That's it!, if I have to go to plan C, it's pretty much over

[@megbrown825]

Bugging out is not an OPTION when we have animals

[@leiag201]

@@megbrown825 that's why I didn't get another dog after the rescue I had for seven years passed away at fifteen. Just didn't want the emotional obligation, and I'd rather worry about myself. Much easier

[@tinaingram885]

I'm retired and really don't have room in my small trunk of my car for most of these items. We barely have room for groceries and a case of water. We live in the south, NC. I do keep a blanket on the back seat, but would have to put some things in a small duffel bag in the trunk. 😊

[@CandC_Farms]

So in the northern climates a tarp makes really good sense to cover broken windows incase of an accident. I had to work on a guy with a possible neck injury when he rolled over his truck. If was -20, his truck was off and the windows blown out. Really helped me maintain his body temp while we were waiting for EMS.

[@janetbrown3349]

Excellent post! Most people don't think of this while preparing. I am in New England and am a former EMT and retired Law Enforcement so this is a great reminder to everyone. No one is asking you to do surgery, etc. but to keep accident victims out of the wind and snow while waiting for a response is simply ideal! This will get people thinking... maybe I should learn a bit of first aid, and pack a tarp, etc.

[@texiannekitzke1440]

Love your channel! My “man of many talents” recently had a stroke so I have to learn a lot.

[@robertcritchley1338]

Hi JR. Good tips. For everyone, keep on getting into it, prepping that is. This world is just getting more agitated.

[@diypreppertv]

Thanks for watching and commenting Robert!

[@donnabrown1518]

One thing that would be great to keep in your car or truck is a folding wagon (or a sled in the winter). If you have small children with you, you will have a way for them to travel if you have to leave your vehicle. Also could be used to take additional gear or supplies

[@ericarnaud7983]

Evening JR. Your point on being ready is spit on. Look what happened with hurricane Otis that hit mexico, killing over 2 dozen. The people did mot jave advanced warning because it was expected to be a tropical storm that came in, but suddenly intensified into a cat 5 hurricane literally within hours and no one was prepared. Being able to just go, without taking time to grab everything you will need, will save your life. Thanks for all your information. 👍

[@diypreppertv]

Thank you Eric!

Thank you JR, this video has reminded me to sort out my winter carry for my car.👍🏻

[@Liquid_People]

Need a similar video for people that are not legally allowed to drive (in my case medical reasons) and have to public transport everywhere

[@diypreppertv]

Hello Rob. The best thing to do in that situation would be to have a solid EDC and EDC bag. I did a video on that earlier this year, and you can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHfIaHWcpsZqZtE Just be careful with certain things that I mention in that video. I don't know what the laws are where you live.

[@gavinburnett5641]

Good list. With winter coming, don't forget to get your car serviced and check the tyres have a decent amount of tread on them and are inflated to the correct pressure. A 12V air compressor is a handy thing to have in the boot.

[@Lostinthesand]

I ask my friends, “how far to this place you are going?” They always answer with, time, not distance. How many miles? Home to work? Home to bug out location? MILES. How many miles can you walk, in a day? Now hours are days! Weeks! Months!!!

[@BigBlue1026]

Thank you JR, some great advice. I'm old and don't travel too far from home, but I do keep a get home bag in the car. I probably don't spend more than two hours a week away from home.

[@banana_bread_at_work]

I work out of state for months at a time. This has definitely been my focus.

[@davidblanchard5252]

Thank you JR, I learn new survival techniques every time, I watch your series.

[@lockpickingparamedic2136]

I'v got a very small car and a Dog crate in it but I always have a BOB under the seats equiped for ~72h. This should last for my way home or the case I must bug out. In case of a evacuation my first stop would be our Restaurant to stock up on supplies and then I would leave in direction of the Mountains to avoid people.

[@Daja_Vu1986]

Here is a list of what I keep in my daily driver. Lifted 2003 jeep wj. I have a case of water,couple knives including 2 good fixed blades.i have a survival bag has fire starter mylar blanket ect. 1st aid kit. Extra cloths,boots hoodies 9mm pew pew mags x4.power bank for charging flash light and phone. I'm sure there is something I'm not thinking about but basically I could survive 5 days in just my jeep. I keep 20 M.R.E... even a hatchet. My survival bag has to much to list here and my med kit has anything from band aids to chest seal,would packs. Tourniquet ect.

[@The_Fat_Controller.]

I have been feeling like our society has become a house of cards for 30 years, so the only thing that surprises me is that the house _hasn't_ come tumbling down yet no matter how many new cards we keep piling on top. Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst is how I have lived my life. Unfortunately, failing health from getting older is seriously limiting options for responding to SHTF. So now I am relegated to preparing to turn my home into a fortress when things fall apart.

[@babyj610]

I’m always looking forward to your videos for great ideas on things I need to get !😁

[@ToddTamm]

Good video no one mentions to have a compus and a laminated map of the state your in incase of a bug out and a striker to start a fire

I made a basic car kit and was double checking my work against your video. :) You make a great point that sometimes you might not be able to go home and get the rest of your preps. We are going to beef ours up even more now. One question: someone told me those wire saws go dull really fast. How is yours holding up?

[@markcoraa]

Perso al opinion, I'm not fond of uco candles in the car. Great for inside the house, bugging in, huge safety risk in the car. A question, I guess, or observation. You do the same thing as I do, and many others. Recently listened to one who says he likes to keep identical items in each bag. One reason is that he gets separated from one bag, he grabs another, and it has identical items in it. No need to try to remember what type equipment is in which bag. Fair point. I keep different knives in each, for the purpose of the bag. I have different cook set in each, again based on the purpose/mission of the bag. That's me. Any ideas, similar cook set based on purpose. Get home bag purpose is get home. Move, move, keep moving, stay moving, and move more, get home as fast as safely and practically possible. I wouldn't stop for dinner and a movie. Then move on. Bug out, I would cook once in a while just for hot food, moral etc. Would you agree/disagree, any thoughts.

Great information. Do you have any information or knowledge on the Emp Shield for vehicles? Based on the information found on Emp Shields website, they sound pretty useful in the event of a EMP. Thanks

[@diypreppertv]

Hello Mark. I’m undecided on those. They sound great, but I’ve heard conflicting information as to how effective they are. I’m not sure if one device would be sufficient to protect all of the electronics on a modern vehicle. Thanks for watching!

[@christopherleubner6633]

The main issue is that any wire in the vehicles system would become an antenna. The device goes across the battery and the vehicle chassis. The battery would be seen as a dead short to the pulse, however the pulse is likely to fry the SKIM and some of the sensors like the MAP and lambda sensor. Also it might fry the computer's fifo buffer chips that read out the sensors. It would likely protect from something more mundane that charges the frame rapidly such as a nearby lightning strike or power line falling on your vehicle, but an actual EMP it's not gonna work.
