This Box Could Save Your Life. The Winter Car Kit

[@retroelectro1190]

NOCO Genius Boost GB70 is what I recommend for portable jump starter. Would also recommend quality AA/AAA rechargable batteries with a good solar charger.

Nice kit ! Some stuff I have in mine: headlamp, glow sticks (great for kiddos), assorted size hose clamps, kitty litter / sand for grit, a pulley to go with the shackle, a lighter / fire starter kit, reflective vest.....

[@design2survive]

Kitty litter would be great to add, also I found a spool of wire that used to be in this kit, and wandered away over the years.

[@carolinagirl3110]

Great info….definitely helps to prepare my car kit….thanks for sharing!

[@zachstuff]

Nice travel kit!! Really like those small totes!

[@design2survive]

Every other tote will seem annoying once you get an action packer. :)

[@cenewton3221]

I have cables (not particularly long ones, 6' maybe?) and a box (Super Start 1000 amp AGM battery) for jump starting, just in case I guess. Both have come in handy at different times. I also have a multi-use fire extinguisher, hunting knife, mulit-tool, hand/foot/body warmers, sleeping bag, tool bag with various tools for possible automotive issues, spare serpentine belt, yadda yadda yadda lol. Most of the time I only have a handful of basic things, putt-putting around town or whatever. If I go on a trip of any kind, or off-road (2012 Yukon) then yeah, I kinda load up for stupid possibilities because they have all happened to me or someone I know at some point in time.

Good kit; in addition to the tarp I would add some kind of pussy pad to add as protection for insulation on the cold wet ground. Also some kind of tire aid such as snow chains or cables. As far as jump starters, I use the jump and carry 660 which has a sealed lead acid battery. It's heavy, it's huge, but it has never failed me. I have used it to jump diesel pickup trucks, a front loader, various cars and trucks. I recharge it twice a year, if I'm lucky and that thing is awesome. I will always carry a sealed lead acid battery because I don't think the technology for lithium ion type batteries are up to snuff yet for cold weather reliability. The only caveat is if you keep it in your coat when you go inside and then you come out, it will be ready for action but to toss it in a box and forget about it for the season, that might be risky.

Soft shackle and a small kinetic rope is a must have as well. I used to use straps but bad things can happen and they are a hassle some times. Also dangerous if ya have to tug. Also keep a can or 2 of beef stew or ravioli and some hand warmers in the trunk.

[@design2survive]

Need to upgrade at some point.

[@MykeHunts]

You can get the for around 100$ online as a kit. Just keep in mind ya get what ya pay for and some things are worth paying the extra $ for

[@design2survive]

@@MykeHunts yankum or bubba?

[@MykeHunts]

@@design2survive I started with a cheap Amazon one and it lasted about 2 years then started coming apart. I've got one of Matt's yellow yankum rope now. Been about a year. But I seen the abuse he puts his through and decided to grab one and help support his channel

[@MykeHunts]

Yankum in general seems to be really strong. Nothing better then being able to see the product get abused daily and it holding up strong. The soft shackles need replaced after heavy use but overall great company

[@ToyoteroMundial]

I have an "Anker" battery jumper. It has worked very well.

[@design2survive]

I’ve heard of the brand..I’ll check them out thank you!

[@westonhuffman7908]

Well, I don't know if you'll need that with a hybrid type vehicle.

[@nomaddynamics]

Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries will keep working down to -40 without issue, perfect for winter headlamps & flashlights.

[@allanmartin7898]

I use a Noco GB150, it might be an overkill for some people but I live out on the sticks and sometimes I'm far from home and out of cell range

[@timberwolf0327]

The only thing i would suggest is some reflective heat blankets, some food and water.

[@InGratitudeIam]

Best dead car battery jumper? Project Farm has the answers. Good recovery equipment is less expensive than waiting for a tow truck. And there's that wait... a long wait.

[@ericmonahan6580]

Did you turn that jump pack off? It looked like the light was still on.

[@design2survive]

Good catch..it doesn’t really turn on until you plug in the actual terminal clamp “system”. More of a battery status check.

[@vanishingfox1339]

I keep most of that. But I also keep a bandaid box that I swap out every few years.

[@timmyI115]

salt?
