Emergency Preparedness TOOLS

[@DonO1970WNY]

I love the organization (I’m also a little jealous of the laser cutter 😊). One thing I would change, is you have pruning shears in the top part that you said could be used to cut a seatbelt. But you have a glass-breaking implement in the bottom half. In an emergency, the last thing you want is to be fumbling around with opening a case and moving foam to get someone out of a vehicle they are trapped in (not to mention getting yourself out). I would get a rescue tool with a glass breaker and seatbelt cutter in one, and keep it within arm’s reach of the driver’s seat. Aside from that, it’s a great kit!

Good video definitely a good idea to have a car kit. I love pelican boxes I use them in EMS and the fire department for years. The only things I would add to my kit would be a tow rope, some matches, a few flares and a few glow lights sticks, and a Leatherman Multi-Tool, an emergency survival blanket which doesn't take up much room unless if you keep that as your first aid kit of course. However overall it is a pretty good little kit. That is the great thing about being prepared is everybody gets to personalize it in their own way to suit their own needs.

Totally agree. A "strong quality" tow rope (recovery strap) could be beneficial. Definitely some way to stay warm over night (ie. at least a space blanket). I'd add some sort of container for water (ie. canteen, metal water bottle, a small pot, oven bag, etc...). Signaling options are always a good thing. Perhaps add some sort of portable cellphone battery charger for extended battery life as an initial go-to option. Of course, all these options are better than nothing when you have the ability to bring it along. I suppose we'd need to know if you also have a first-aid kit, separate survival kit, B.O.B, etc... to see how these emergency preparedness tools would complement what else you may have. What really comes to mind is an old TV episode of "I Shouldn't Be Alive: Science of Survival" called "Lost In the Snow" S01E02 (2006). An eye-opener for me, at that time, I never would've considered cannibalizing the vehicle for survival if I had to consider leaving it. Survivorman Les Stroud did an excellent job demonstrating options if you had to abandon your vehicle and go on foot. There were 2 episodes, 1st episode showed how the young couple essentially did everything wrong, the 2nd episode where Les Stroud showed how they could have improved their situation had they known some basic survival knowledge.
