We often all ride in our mini van so we have that kit stocked for both of us and Jordyn. Beau is the only one who uses his truck so that bag is only stocked for him. (we just move the bags over if we all go in the truck)
We change over our bags twice a year. We have a list for Summer or warm weather and one for Winter or cold weather.
Emergency Supplies in the Car, but not in the Bag:
- Jumper Cables... Duh!
- Fix a Flat
- Ice Scraper / Snow Brush. Just got this one off Amazon!
- Extra Winter Coats. We are both pretty bad about not bothering with coats if we are just running to a drive through or just running a quick errand so we keep some older, out of style coats in the back.
- Cell Phone charger
- Rescue Tool. We got this one off of Amazon a while back and we chose this one for a few reasons. One because the reviews were great, two because it also has a seat belt cutting option and three because it is a bright color so it is easy to find.
- Road Side Assistance Card
- Snow Chains
- Small Box of no clump cat litter
