    Ogmios, in 1994 I kept a small orange bookshelf in the back seat of my 1965 VW Beetle.
    It was my brother's childhood bookshelf, and I was searching for the right place to donate it. He'd left home, and it was no longer needed.
    I didn't mind it being there, in fact it gave a cosy atmosphere to my journeying.
    I missed my brother.
    It was the only tangible link I had to him.
    It took me a few weeks, maybe longer, to let it go. I realise now that rather than being lazy, I was being respectful towards myself, by allowing time to process my emotions.
    Wise.
    Nowadays in our modern vehicle, we keep tissues (for tissue emergencies) and a phone charging lead. We've had flat phones far too often, and eventually learned the lesson that our phones were trying to teach us.
    From memory, a chamois cloth is helpful for wiping the inside of the windows, so I'll do my best to find ours.
    Thank you for this lovely, thought provoking video.

    I too have emergency poncho for poncho emergencies. I have a blanket for "oh no, the hotel check in is closed so it looks like I'm sleeping in the car" emergencies too. Plus about 100 bags for life - the cumulative effect meaning I may now be immortal.

    My must haves in the car: tooth brush, spare glasses, water. Also I have two of those Chinese chime balls in the door pockets. I call them, inertiaphones. They chime nicely if you drive smooth but clunk, if you’re harsh.

    Hi Ogmios. I haven't looked through all the comments but you need to carry a small piece of wood, approximately 6" square. If you get a puncture whilst on wet grass or boggy land, you can use this to create a firm surface on which to jack your car up. No worries.

  • @joannahill6029
    @joannahill6029 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Beautiful Ogmios. 😌 I'm happy to learn that I have most of the items in my car that I need to survive. I also have a thing that puffs up tyres using the power of the cigarette lighter, in case I meet someone with a tyre that needs puffing. You should add a nice woolly blanket (car boot sales are good places to buy them) for the back seat in case you have a pal with a muddy dog who needs a ride. Of course a woolly blanket has a myriad of other uses too & adds a cosy vibe. ❤

    My elderly hatchback became incontinent in the radiator department and so had to be topped up a couple of times on long journeys, or when the planets took a certain alignment or because it was was a nice day and just relaxed. Water in the boot for her and drinking water under the passenger seat for me were essential for felicitous progress.
    We also had stowaway special pebbles, and pinecone fidget toys. The mighty fir gifts us the most tactile and non-toxic of sensory digital accesories. Very handy for standstill on the M25.

  • @benrampling812

    I have a lil emergency kit in the boot at all times. Hydraulic jack, lighter port tyre pump, tyre sealant, oil, premix coolant, bungee strap, 2L water bottle and some wellies. Also on board is a LED Projector torch, first aid kit and DPF cleaner. Admittedly the DPF cleaner could probably stay in the garage. But if it fits it stays

    I always suspected you were a bit weird, but now I've seen the contents of your glovebox, I've changed my mind - I KNOW you're weird. I guess the Gorilla tape is handy, as it appears to be keeping your radio from falling onto the floor of your car. I can't wait to see the content of your boot - no, strike that, I CAN definitely wait - I will watch the rest of this when the effects of the incense have worn off...
    Only joking, mate, you are totally zen and an example to us all - enjoy your journey my friend.

    You have covered so many potential emergencies here, but I can't help feeling you also need some old matting to provide tread for your wheels if you get bogged down in a muddy field; and a small shovel in case you need to dig your way out of the snow, or to bury roadkill, or a secret.

      If it's a boot leak, you could check the compression arms are bolted in correctly, sometimes they undo. a boot not sealing properly can cause that. And also - it's often a rear light seal. I admire your instinct to help @kenneth

    Thanks Ogmios. 12.5 minutes of zen bliss! I matched you on a few items including gaffa tape and an A to Z even though I drive in London about once every two years these days. My additional recommmendations would be a road atlas (because you never know when google won't solve your navigation problems) and a thick blanket for when your navigating goes so wrong that you're stranded overnight in the middle of nowhere. Positive greetings to you from a former resident of your patch of North London.
