When each of my sons bought their first car I put together a kit like this for them to keep in them. I also gave them jumper cables as we all need those for our first cars😂 a wool blanket, screw drivers, pliers, a gallon of water and a magnet key box. Plus $20.00 cash to put in their glove box to only be used in emergency. My oldest son has told me he's used almost every before except the $20.00. growing up we always had such things in my parents car. It amazes me how few people prepare for unexpected situations. Life is never ever going to go as planned so plan accordingly as much as possible.

[@SK-qc6fb]

I would recommend keeping the batteries separate, tapped up. Also a good idea is use conductive grease on the pos/neg terminals....will help keep the batteries from corroding.

[@frikkiesmit327]

Agree with both of you. Yes life takes unexpected turns. My supervisor joked about me usually having a can of bully beef on me. Well i wont easily go hungry. Since beef is already cooked and perserved in can. You can eat it straight out of can. Or mix it with other food and eat. One can also warm it in oil in a pan or metal container . So it happend that i worked far from home and had to sleep out. The company made the bookings but didnt pay for dinner at the guesthouse and the money for my eating allowance wasnt in the same day. So for just in case i had beef, noodles and just had to buy smalp bottle of oil. I also had small gas camping stove and well a bic lighter, ferro rod and so. So i made a meal with the noodles and beef that night!!! Yum yum.

Nice kit. I first built a survival kit for my car back in 1973 after a sad story of a couple and their infant that got stranded in the Oregon Cascade Mts by an early snow storm. Also you don’t need survival items just for the woods, recently in the US Midwest people have been stranded on the Freeway by a blizzard and rescuers could not get to them right away.

2000 calories of food per person is also great. That’s 10 power bars. Use the ones without chocolate coating because the coating will melt and make a mess when opening.

[@helterskelter156]

A large black garbage bag (preferably construction grade) is a really great item to have, as well. I also find that duct tape can repair clothing, shelter, etc. so I tend to have more than just a tiny piece. A lighter in a ziplock bag is good to have, as well.

Good info. Cold is the enemy of membrane water filters. If they freeze with any moisture inside, the water will expand and ruin the effectiveness of the membrane. For urban, add a skillcock key and a multi tool, then good to go.

[@ecospider5]

I had not thought about that, it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the info.

[@najroe]

yeah, up here around the Arctic circle those are unusable in winter, even few seconds at -30 will cause the membranes close to the sides of the filter to be compromised, even if you store it inside your clothes, I mean throwing boiling water into the air will nearly instantly turn to icem so barely liquid water still trapped in the filter second use will freeze solid quickly. I have even seen sharpeningstone break because the person soaked it in water, it broke in two then one piece broke again, imagine that with microscopic filaments...

[@talesfromthelab]

[@groverearp2600]

Do not leave the batteries in your head light or flashlight !

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

I completely gave up on one major brand of batteries sold here (US) - they virtually ALWAYS leak if left in a device, whereas other brands seldom do, at least not in the short term. I check mine often and replace them in the Spring and Fall, whether they're still working or not. If I go on a hike or camping, I bring along spare (new) batteries in a plastic bag, or in their original packaging.

[@andrewcoates6641]

Hey Lily, just checking in, my in vehicle kit has a handful of six inch nails strapped to the outside of the can, with duct tape, for use as strong tent pegs on stoney ground or if I’m using an open fire I can use them to make a stand to put my cooking pot on by just knocking three into the ground in a triangle formation. If I only knock them in 2 or3 inches it means that I have plenty of space to stoke my fire. My can is approximately the same as the one that you are using, mine was originally a tin of dried potato granules and it came with a snap on/off plastic lid to keep everything inside.

[@harrymarsh8477]

Hi Lilly, AZ Harry here. A couple of things: 1-do not forget to change out the batteries (headlamp), or just put the batteries in a small plastic bag. If they leak they'll destroy your headlamp contacts 2-your signal mirror will be scratched by the ball-link chain that is in the bag next to it! 3-the filter straw will be fine at high inside-auto temps UNLESS it is wet from use. Most filters need to be flushed if they sit wet, not sure how to do that with a straw type.

I have been using Eneloop (Panasonic) low self discharge NiMh AA and AAA cells for about 15 years. They maintain at least 70% charge at 10 years and I have never seen one leak. I can't tell you how many things I have seen destroyed by Duracells.

[@Graybeard_]

I taught survival to an outreach program in North Central Washington state for three years. What I learned was to substitute a Bic lighter for the flint and steel. It just takes too long for most people to become proficient at it, and you don't want to be learning a critical skill in a survival situation. In the survival class 90% failed to start a fire, even after many attempts and being shown and having an instructor present with them. A Bic lighter gives you the flint and steel (I've demonstrated many times lighting a fire with an empty Bic lighter), but it comes full of fuel. Used sparingly, Bic lighters can light hundreds of fires quickly, provide an emergency light source, is available everywhere, and costs 99 cents US.

Great kit. I've used two 5 gallon buckets with lids. One bucket has change of clothes for me and my wife, insulated tarp, wool blanket & roll of toilet paper secured in a gallon zip bag. I place some cedar shavings tied up in a piece of nylon hosiery to protect the wool from moths. The shaving are always dry so they can used to start a fire. The second bucket can hold a myriad of survival items. I subset my gear into shaving kits that are appropriately marked for ease of access.

[@samstewart4444]

I saw a t.v. show some time ago where it showed women how to survive a vehicle breakdown in a remote area. One of the items was coveralls (like Carharts) with a hood and a pair of insulated boots. The show portrayed a woman with a breakdown in a snow storm. She put on the coveralls and boots, called for help and then hid a short distance from her car. The coveralls kept her warm and dry while she watched for road service. If some creeps show up before road service she would be safely hidden.

Using a regular coffee can with a snap on lid will work, too. Depending on what brand of coffee you drink, the can may be metal or plastic.

Yeah, it's getting harder to find a 'Metal' can now days. You should have a metal one though, for this purpose. Makes an excellent Hobo grill! Just take an old-style can opener. The type that cuts a 'V' shaped hole, not the rotary type.. and punch three or four holes around the Bottom of the can, leave the floor inside alone. You're just making breather holes.. then fill it up with dry matter and it makes a great little cooker/stove/heater...

@@maxwell9734 You are right. Metal coffee cans are almost extinct. However, we can still buy beans and other veggies in larger cans, including #10 steel cans, which make an excellent hobo stove, in addition to holding half a gallon or so of water for boiling. The plastic coffee "cans" work pretty good for keeping stuff dry, and they may keep mice out for a while.

[@TrialAndError8713]

I've never heard them called hobo stoves before. When I was in Girl Scouts (a bazillion years ago) we called them "buddy burners".

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

@@TrialAndError8713 What's called a "buddy burner" these days is a small can, like a tuna or catfood can, lined with long piece of cardboard cut into a strip and loaded into the can like a tight spiral. Then, short pieces of kite string or similar cordage can be inserted into one or more of the holes that show at the top. Melted parafin or bees wax is then poured over the cardboard until the can is full or nearly full. When the wax has hardened, the strings can be lighted as wicks. Before long, the entire top surface of the waxed cardboard will be ablaze - plenty of heat for boiling water, cooking, etc. Buddy burners such as this produce a lot of soot. Bees wax burns hotter and cleaner than parafin, but it costs a lot more.

Nice kit! Although, given it's designed only for a few days, I'd think you'd be better off with food and water. The car is your shelter (unless you have to hike out -- and they always say 'stay with the vehicle if possible'), so really what you need is food, water and a way to make fire. As for cars getting too hot -- wrap the kit in a blanket or coat and hide under a seat. The floor of the car is much cooler and the blanket keeps the heat out.

[@ecospider5]

For keeping something cool in a car water bottles work great. I need to do this with my medication. If the temperature drops to at least 75 at knight it works great. I also put a small chocolate bar next to my meditation. If the chocolate melts then the meditation has gone over 95 degrees. Wrapping all of that in a blanket will add extra benefit.

Hi Lilly, - I'd punch two tiny holes at the top of the can at home in controlled environment before packing this up, rather than in wildness, tired, wet, and dark. It is easier, more accurate, and you will not tell the difference whether they are there or not if you never use them at all. - You may wrap 3 stripes of White-Red-White tapes next to each other on the can's body, the device will be much more clearly seen, this way you will not loose it in the the grass or in the car if this thing moves from its original under-the-seat position. - Most important, I'd keep flashlight in the glove compartment, not in can. This way you'll know when batteries are running low, because you will be using flashlight much more frequently and be far better aware of its latest condition. :) Keep up Good work!

Nice we used to make coffee can kits and you can wrap cordage around the outside. Keep extra candles for heat in winter inside the can in cars.Have fun stay safe.

Can i suggest a small folded bag to put all your stuff in while you use your can to boil water, or just an extra bag... can be a plastic bag. Or if you want to spend money, you can get some extremely small foldable backpacks.

[@adambacker8178]

The sawyer water filters are fine in the heat however. If you use one and it freezes when wet they get damaged. After you use one in freezing conditions you should put in a ziploc bag and keep close to your body warmth in an internal pocket, that way it will not freeze and break

O. K. Lilly no more of these Iridium 242 hand only posts. I'm used to seeing your smiling face. Let's keep it that way!! One more thing, I think you do a great job on survival kits, they really are the most sensible. I have made my kits to mimic yours with a few additions. the primary addition is food, the stuff we all need to survive. Lifeboat rations don't taste that stupendous, but they'll keep you alive & each little bar in a pack of 9 SOS emergency rations contains 410 calories. A few of those in your kit will go a long way towards keeping up morale & mental acuity.

Sehr gut und sehr praktisch liebe Lilly!

[@marry9894]

Always great ideas!

[@D.E.Middleton]

Thanks Lilly.

[@pierolefebvre5302]

my kit is ready. 🇨🇦✊

I really like the Bic Lighters that come in different sizes and last a good week...💯

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I buy tiny Bic lighters from Poundland. There's packs of 3 in pastel shades for £2. I buy about 6 packs a year for bug out and SHTF.

[@paulrotledge9276]

i think you have enough space to add 5 small items. Water purification tablets, a bandana, mole skin, a 1 gallon freezer bag to carry water and some cotton balls soaked in Vaseline.

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

Nice little kit. I would probably add some first aid items, a lighter, and a little bit of food. A couple of teabags or some instant coffee might be nice, too, just for the morale boost. I have one of those JustInCase kits in the trunk of my car that I have oriented more towards survival. I added more first aid items, a multi tool, two ponchos, a lighter and matches, a couple of flashlights and batteries, a fishing kit, cordage, and various other items. Behind it, I put two tarps and some bungee cords for a makeshift shelter. I still need to add a couple bottles of water to the trunk, a better knife, and a cooking container.

[@michaelschauperl172]

Well I'd suggest to put a small hand chainsaw into such a can in case a fallen tree blocks the road. And to put sealed batteries into that headlight. So there is less damage should they run out.

[@lavendersky4324]

Thank you for the reminder. I need to go through my vehicle. tidy it up and replenish my emergency supplies. I am sorry to hear about your long covid. I hope the rest of your family managed to avoid having lasting damage from covid, assuming they were also positive. Do you have POTS now?

[@lanecountybigfooters5716]

If you're not wearing shoes that you can walk a long distance in, then put a pair plus socks, in the trunk just in case. Hope you're feeling better soon, Lilly! "Make a survival situation into a camping situation: GREAT way to look at an emergency!

[@KathysTube]

Thanks Lilly 😎👍👍

[@Rotfuchs]

I recommend to set in the middle battery wrong way. So the headlamp doesn't turn on accidently and runs empty in the pack without knowing. The battery in the middle you could feel with your fingers in black night and turn it right way.

[@dennisrecktenwald386]

Awesome video, you have some of the best ideas ever. Best on KZbin. Thanks!!!

[@namelesske]

This is a great small kit, but I think a multitool like a cheap Ganzo or SOG would make this 10 times more useful for a car. And don’t forget cable ties as well. 😊

[@ecospider5]

This is the wilderness kit she keeps in the car. Zip ties will be in the actual car repair kit in the car. Also I really like the stainless steel zip ties. But you can not pull them as tight so having both are good.

[@zou6492]

Hello Lilly,🤓 Another interesting video 👍👏 Thanks... Friendship from Belgium Europe 😉🇧🇪👋

[@RNX001]

You're great Lilly!!🤙🤙🤙

[@BillyBOB-sm3rl]

Neat little kit. If it fits. You might want to put some seasonal items in there.

[@BrianJMader54476]

@SurvivalLillys. Good county’s in Wisconsin USA 🇺🇸 for country land are Taylor & Lincoln county’s.

[@BladeObssession]

Great emergency survival kit Lilly. I suppose you could put all that in a wide mouth Nalgene bottle too.

[@edi9892]

I would have a leatherman and a full size blanket, plus water and a shovel. The latter is only for places where you can get snowed in...

[@oldie4210]

One great edc carry is keychain seat belt cutter with a trip hammer that breaks glass. The high impact in a mva can lock the adjusters or if you are upside down your body weight can impede release, plus the bonus is a great cutter for jeans etc in order to dress wounds, cut plastic .

[@ecospider5]

I have those in every car. A couple years ago they started requiring laminated glass on side windows. You are not getting through that. The back window is your best bet if the side windows don’t break.

[@paulhayes9765]

Great video. I would add a few first aid items. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers
