- FULL LIST BELOW
If you've seen my Car Emergency/Survival Bag, you'll know I built it around my own projected uses. This kit is built with a focus on how both I and my wife would use it. Sometimes other people drive our mini-van - people who have little to no training in survival or emergency situations - so this kit is made to be easy to use while covering some of the most likely needs that might occur while out on the road. Check it out.

I like how you're the only TH-camr who makes practical kits, not those end of world bug out bags
Ha - not the only one, but that is something I try to do.
A couple of Sterno emergency candles (smokeless and non-scented) will help keep the car interior warm and can also be used to heat up soup, tea or coffee until rescue arrives.
In earlier times a standard emergency kit item in any older car was heavy but workable steel wire. It has many MacGyver type uses. The best one for me was when I was able to open a car by snaking the wire in through a cracked open window and tap the door unlock button. The young lady who had locked her keys in the car was very grateful.
I would recommend adding a moisture absorber in each pack.
Have some bottled water just in case you can't purify your water or you need it for a night. Also, keep a little more food just to keep you going longer.
Dried fruit, nuts, energy bars, veggie chips, etc are all compact, long-lasting items, yet full of nutrients.
Great Kit. for added traction you may wanna ad a 1 gallon ziplock bag full of cat litter.. can be used in both mud and snow..Thanks for sharing
Nice - good idea.
there are now some wires made like a tire chain that are a lot easier to put on that i have heard about but not looked into yet. I have to deal with chains for a semi and they suck lol. Use anything like the kitty litter or even use salt for water softening, many over look this because all the salt for ice gets sold out and they don't think about this option and it works the same. if you have good lugs on snow tires and things are extreme I have used really tiny screws with square heads screwed into the lugs without puncturing the tire, this is for extreme ice and used as a last resort
joe king Thanks for sharing, Joe.
Great idea. What ever people can afford is better then nothing . Thanks for the share.
Agreed. Thanks for the view.
+Luisa Green Many thanks, I've been looking for "urban survival checklist" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Landonfen Disaster Genie - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
I have spent months researching into survival and found a fantastic resource at Survivor Crusher System (check it out on google)
I've used fix a flat to seal a leak and raise a tire enough to drive on it to get off the highway. Yeah you ruin your stems and air sensors. It's not my go to but as a back up to a back up it works. Just let the repair people know because it can ignite during the tire change
In winter months I toss 3-4 bags of traction sand ($3 at my Lowes) in the back of my truck. At 50 lbs each it gives a little extra weight when driving during the snow and if I'm on an icy patch I got the traction part covered too
Nice kits!
+Jeff Purcell Thanks for sharing Jeff - good info.
I like the organization! User-friendly, practical, and cost-effective!!! Thank you.
Extra batteries and a seatbelt cutter, would complete this gear
Great setup
seatbelt cutter really needs to be in reach of the driver when behind the wheel for obvious reasons.
A good car kit is always overlooked, but so important!
As usual, my mind is blown by your level of organization and thought that you put into this. One item that I have seen in several other car kit videos and that I keep in my own trunk is a selection of bungee-cords.
Joseph Saetveit Yes sir - those are in the car (under my trunk). Thank you for the kind words.
+EverydayTacticalVids stored under your Trunk! I would love to see an elephant driving a vehicle 😋
Any tools for actually fixing a problem with the cars? Socket set, pliers, zip ties, pry bar, wrenches , torx and Allen wrench sizes common to your vehicle. A couple of emergency candles warm up the car (use with caution), and wool blankets to replace the fleece one.
Like the vid. I work for a tire shop and fix a flat is a quick fix just be carful it is an ammonia based product and can ruin your tpms sensors if your car is newer. You might want to get a tire plug kit and mini air compressor to get you by. I actually have it set up for my jeep and it has got me out of jam several times. You can get it at harbor freight for less than thirty dollars air pump included
Thanks for sharing.
Some great items. I like the idea of an extra towel. There is one in my truck after watching this. Thanks for that idea. I would definitely add some fuses in there somewhere. Just the other day, my 17 year old daughter blew a fuse that controlled the speedometer in her 95 Bronco. That same fuse controlled the shift points in the transmission, which made for a very uncomfortable ride home from school. I few quick lessons in basic mechanics and a box of fuses in her glove box solved that issue. Great videos.
You probably have a fire extinguisher somewhere in your car, I didn't catch if you said you did. Other ideas: solar battery charger; CB walkie talkie with weather radio channels, you can also get external antenna & cigarette lighter power accessories; and I always keep a roll of shop towels handy. I'd also keep a summary of your families' medical history and blood types with the first aid kit. And maybe a can of Ballistol, you can do just about anything with that stuff!
Very nice setup, like the organization.
Thanks David.
Thank you for the Video, I have used fix a flat in the past. It can help if a tire is completely flat to get you going if you cant put on a spare tire, one thing to note is you can only really use them once and then you have to pack a new can.. it also does not put much air into the tire so if you don't have an air compressor I wouldn't recommend driving on it for very long.
That is just my experience using it in the past though, others might have had better luck then me.
I am working on several emergency kits, nearly finished with my bug out bag. For my car I'm also including a biofuel stove and some cookware as well as food and water for emergencies.
Thanks for the vids, good ideas, very useful set up, i think everyone should have a setup like that just in case.
Thanks again for a great video. You'll have to forgive me if what I mention is elsewhere on your channel. I like having food related things around. You probably have these but didn't talk about them: Plates, cups, utensils, paper towels - Excellent for impromptu picnics or when you get drive through and your missing a fork and napkins (not really emergency scenarios) Buy cups, bowls, and utensils are handy for survival scenarios. Easier to divvy out clean water in cups then to drink from the main container. I loved your pencil sharpener idea! Take care and thanks for the vids!
Nice add-on.
We are planning a move to Oregon and this topic was covered last night with My daughter and son-in-law. I also recommended a sleeping bag and a tarp, because a disabled auto becomes a freezer in the winter time! Nice job. Good idea to have a tow strap or Snatch em strap so a fourXfour or pickup can get you back on the road. I think a break down snow shovel might be more useful than an e-tool in the winter conditions. ALSO a good idea to show attachment points for a tow out so the bumper doesn't get ripped off. Seriously this is a good idea!
Yes, from Oregon and winter kills
Great setup. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate it.
Really nice car emergency kit. Over here in Germany, a first aid kit, a reflective safety vest and a triangular safety reflector are compulsory; you can even get fined if you don't have these items in your car. . Besides, I'd put some basic parts like common fuses for your car, a small role of electrical tape and some hose clamps into one of your boxes. You can fix a lot of smaller errors with the help of these and they don't take up much space.
Keep up the good work & greetings from Germany!
Great kit; I found that having a Wagan Tech Battery Jumper with Air Compressor has helped me in the past not just for the vehicle; but it has various outlets to charge cell phones etc and work light. I also keep some books and games added to the truck EDC for the kids in the event I'm stuck and waiting for emergency services.
Nice - I've seen them before - never used one though.
That was very Practical, and user friendly. You know all the cool, stuff in the world does not mean shit when a" bic" lighter Vs a 65 buck cool fighter starter fails you and the "bic" lighter works. In a pinch if it works. it's all you need.
Great kit! It actually reminds me of mine in my truck! I love the idea of extra New Testaments to hand out. What a great witness. I've used fix-a-flat and it held until I got to a tire repair place. Just be sure if you do use it, to make the tire technician aware of it because the aerosol that is in the can is explosive and is now in the tire as well. That way they can be safe (or just more cautious) when repairing the bad tire. I keep fix-a-flat in my kit as well and only use it as a last resort.
Thanks for checking it out, TangoTexan.
My favorite. I just updated mine
Good kit...mine is very similar. Always ready!
Awesome set up man! I love videos like! It's thought provoking and helps me think of new items/ways to set up my kits with.
Glad you like the video
same here
Awesome kit. I also live in NH, so I would suggest checking your flashlight batteries often, the cold drains them very fast (have had it happen many times)
great video. you thought of everything!
Maybe a tire pressure checker, battery terminal wire brush both cheap and will fit in top of tool box. Also if its winter a bigger shovel is needed. Maybe a picture guides on safety for jumping a car and changing a tire. Cash or prepaid card for gas or a thank you for helping. You have a lot of good ideas. Stay Safe.
Nice, especially the tire gauge. I was trying to find one in Walmart the other day, but believe it or not there was a small crowd in that aisle.
Lip stick especially the brighter colors like yellow or pink are great too: Write things on virtually any surface even concrete/ Bread crumb your path ( if you have to leave the car) it don't dry out and works even under water.
Great video, really good ideas. I have used the fix-a-flat stuff, a few time. Only in an emergency situation. It works great. It allowed me to drive to a tire shop and get a new tire. I always tell them if I have had to use it. Once my spare tire set up, was out of commission. The bolt actually rusted and I could not get my spare tire down from the underside of my vehicle. I could not drive on the flat, so I used my fix-a-flat.
Good to hear that - thanks for sharing and for checking out the video.
Some great ideas here, thank you!
Glad to help out.
Great kit!!!
Fix a Flat works great! I also heard not to use it but when you are far away from a gas station or late for work... cant go wrong! Great kit, gallon of water or 2 would be great
Your right , I tried 3 tire places, the 3rd shop said they would fix the tire. The other 2 shops would touch it.
Nice vid some good ideas I will use for sure. Thx
you asked about the fix a flat. Most of the time I've found that the tire that goes flat is beyond help when I stop. I've had to use a can of it though to inflate a spare once when I was going over LaVita Pass. Middle of nothin and about 12 am. January wasn't very warm out and took a chance on the flat spare. I won't recommend it, but it got me to a place in Walsenburg that got me a tire so I could get home. To inflate a shakey spare that I didn't think would make it a mile, it worked pretty well. The rest of the times I've tried it, I was sadly disapointed in the claims they make. Very nice set up for your boxes though and I'm using your ideas for my own. Thanks a bunch
Thanks for sharing your story, Joseph. That's good info.
Thanks for the video. GREAT IDEA with that old phone. Never even thought or heard of that. That is gold. I might throw in a slightly older smartphone with helpful apps or e-books / pdf manuals too.
I have skimmed some of the comments and would like to add a few things. I saw that you do have more water, but it is not in the video - that's good. Since you have a family, I would throw in a day's worth of food for your family and if you need more than that, you can always ration. Might be good to throw in an SOS bar for a longish-term scenario (a few days). Throw in some Mountain Houses or MRE's (MRE's get a little difficult to store in sub-zero temperatures though). Trail mix is great to keep on hand and great to keep kids busy chewing on something that is tasty and nutritious. Maybe more jerky too.
I also second the idea of cutlery - even if disposable. Also, a small roll of paper towels can be gold too. I don't know how many situations I've run into in my car where I pine for any kind of cutlery and / or a napkin. With kids, this has to be a must.
Thanks for the video. I have been researching the car emergency kit and wanted to make a hybrid kit of sorts. One that would fill the role or Emergency car kit, grab and go get home kit and light outdoors/ camping kit. I have looked at various videos and this by far is the best video I have come across you have given me a solid knowledge base to work off of as well as the random tips and points of consideration I have picked up from your other uploads in the playlist. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.
Glad it was a help, CB.
For a traction I use cat litter and bleach. Take the bleach and pour on the tire, then spin it a little to get the tire sticky, then apply the cat litter and it will stick to the bleach and help give traction. For flats I use tire slime and I really like that over fix a flat. I have it in my tires for everyday use.
i like having one of those little "licorice stick" tire puncture repair kits in the truck for flat repair. of course, after that some way to refill the tire is also necessary.
like this (no affiliation with the seller, first hit on a google search):

This video is why I subscribe to your channel. I can do this and cut down on the weight of my BOB. Thanks for the ideas.
Glad to have you on board, brother.
I would never cut down on the BOB due to having the car kit. Remember 3 is 1 and 1 is none. Always keep the BOB ready with everything needed.
Love the setup! Looks like we keep pretty much the same things in our vehicles. You may find an air compressor handy if you happen to find your spare tire flat or the fix-a-flat doesn't fully inflate your tire. Some times it's just a simple nail in the tire. A quick inflate would perhaps get you to a safer location.
If ya go with one stay away from the cheap ones though, they tend not to put out enough psi to inflate larger tires. Great for bikes, not for cars.
Nice add-on. Yes.
3rd video of yours that I have seen tonight. Great videos!! Fix a flat can work on slow leaks. Can also inflate tire enough to get a few more miles down the road. I have used it a dozen or more times.
Thanks for checking out the vid.
Very well put together, yeah of course you can do some "upgrading" but I love it and definitely a great idea and set up. Appreciate it 👍🇺🇲
Thanks for checking it out!
Good video! Awesome kit too!
Thanks - glad you liked it.
good stuff!
Great plan, I've used fix a flat before but a plug kit and 12v air compressor is a better option. Educate! Basic car care can save everyone!
I've used fix a flat on my mums company car and it worked great. It got her to the garage across town easily. She didn't have to worry about the cost though because it is a company car, they deal with it so ymmv
My emergency setup is quite different. Tool selection, parts selection, and first aid kit (first responder kit) more extensive. Equipped my 4x4 pickup with a winch, so have more/better rope, straps, and similar. Aggressive all-terrain tires, with additional traction devices. Tires, including spare, fitted with pressure monitors. Air compressor & small generator under hood. And so on. Aluminum gull-wing toolbox over the bed carries everything not fitted elsewhere.
Nice setup.
Great kit bro, thanks for sharing.
Welcome. Hey come join us in Meeting of the prepared Minds on facebook bro, it's fun.
I like the idea of using the tool box (with a small empty backpack) to organize the emerg. car kit. I have a 25L. emerg. backpack for my wife in her Minivan (also a Honda Odyssey!), but the odds of her leaving her car and carrying that for any distance are nil.
One thing I would suggest for the clear box is a couple of small tubes of toothpaste and some (CVS) travel toothbrushes and a couple of hotel soaps in a Ziploc sandwich bag. And maybe a pair of smartwool socks.
I also have $100 in cash ($20s and $10s) and an updated paper road map of our area in my wife's kit (she loves paper maps and has a built-in compass in her brain - sure wish i did!).
I like the old cell phone idea, and I'm going to put one in my wife's car... Cheers Mate and Semper Fi.
Great ideas for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Your video gave me some great ideas. My wife's Honda Pilot has storage compartments that can fit most of what you listed. Thanks.
Glad it was a help.
Nice setup and a good video!
I recommend having a reflecting vest or vests in the back pockets of the front seats. Sometimes you need to have the vest on you as you get out of the car. Just telling from personal experience.
Here in Europe it's law i many countries to have a reflective vest, warning triangle an a fire-extinguisher in the car.
(Maybe it's the same in the US?)
Keep up the good work/ god bless!
Agreed. I have it set up like that in my other car. The nice thing with a mini-van (for this kit) is that I can get to the vest without getting out of the car.
I like all the genius ideas u have for equipment! I just started an EDC bag and a bug out bag and i get all my ideas from you and David from the "Ultimate Survival Tips" channel here on youtube.
Nice man - David's a good guy and a buddy of mine.
Awesome video, about the fix-a-flat; i heard that some car dealship's won't accept the tire if you put that stuff in it, but in older cans, apparently they improved their formula and now its ok, i would say that is always better to have a spare and change it, and then have it fix by a professional.
Awesome kits!
Thanks Dave.
Suggestion, place skater tape on your 2X4's for more traction, you can angle 1 end 45% to help car drive on as well to get out of a bad situation.
Nice - thanks for that.
I don't know why there are no comments. I would think people would answer some of your questions such as the Fix-a-Flat question. I would give you my comments, but I don't know either. BTW, I think this is a great video.
Keeper Oath Appreciate it - thanks!
I've used fix-a-flat when I was stranded with two flats. I had a spare on one and used fix-a-flat on the other. It lasted long enough to get me home (twenty minutes) and get new tires.
Also, I suggest adding menstrual pads, tampons, and a menstrual cup. Pads can double as large ABD (abdomenal pads). I once pulled up on an accident and we were in the boondocks, outside of cell service. This guy had a bad cut on his leg, very deep. I used pads and tampons coupled with duct tape and sealed the wound, at least enough to get help.
Menstrual cups work well in emergencies, as they are reusable, hypoallergenic, and have zero risk of infection.
Just a suggestion.
Road flare, safety triangle and hi-vis vest should be kept in hands reach of driver. I keep triangle in front passenger door so if i stop behind a crash, passenger can assemble the triangle in safety of the car, exit on roadside and deploy the triangle, while I can focus on moving my car aside to clear the way for emergency services. If i'm alone I would put hi-vis vest before exiting. Also no packaging, everything is ready to go in 3 seconds. No use of safety gear if it's retail sealed behind Holy Bible in box in trunk. Trunk is for spare gear. Also proper Mag Lite should be kept in glove box, C or D LED, so even at night and heavy rain you can quickly illumine 200 ft around car from inside the cabin, maybe a biker lies in a ditch in dark. Blanket kept in back seat or under seat, if stuck in line on cold day and low on gas, you need to be warm to be able to keep quick reaction time.
Fix A Flat works Great. I've used it quit a few times. It lasts a couple of days. I was on a trip, had a can in the trunk. It was about 3am, stopped got gas- noticed my tire low. Filled it up. Little later checked it again, tires low again. Put fix a flat in it . It held air, the whole trip. I did get the tire fixed.
Thanks for sharing that - appreciate it.
they actually fixed your tire with fix a flat in it? most places I know of will not touch a tire that has that in it. Good to hear someone will attempt it.
fix a flat is a great option for getting by. i had driven on one can for a month before replacing tires. towards the end of that month had to use a 2nd can. it sealed the leak but developed a lopsided deposit of fix a flat in the tire and caused a slight wobble at 70mph.
I have an older vehicle and a few years back I use fix a flat and it worked great I always keep a can in the trunk.... Here's another though.... keep a come a long in the trunk and some rope, it can get you out of some situations....
did not know that cellphone thing. I have a bunch of old phones. Thanks!
+garrisonboobs Yup - gotta check them often. Thanks for the view.
Awesome!
Thanks sister.
awesome video!
Appreciate it.
Cool tim
In my Sears Craftsman Tool Bag have the Jumper Cables and also the jigle siphon to siphon fuel from the fuel can to the gas tank (not good for removing fuel from the tank...). And water is also great to have in NM-deserts and mountains... But not much surface water. Also have a 2" X 6" 24" wood board to mount the jack on. tjl
good video...Thanks
Thanks man.
love fixaflat had to use for a slow leak so I could get home
Scraps of carpet are always good to have to out under tires to provide traction in snow or mud, jerry can and siphon are also extremely useful
Nice - good additions.
I would also highly recommend having a mini-compressor, a good hydraulic jack (some factory jacks just suck) as well as a portable jump-starter in case no one else is around. And the blankets i would swap out for something like wool blankets. And i definitely recommend a Tow Strap and a come-along. As well as a portable DVD player, they are cheap nowadays and come with car chargers; might not be survival gear, but sure as hell are nice to have when you have kids lol
a jumper cable or self starter will be great
thank u for this great video , i have a humble advice which is to add some water and candles
ahmed bk thanks for watching and for the ideas too
I has almost been a year since you made the video. Any updates or lessons learned from the past year? Great videos. Thanks for what you do.
Thanks
Good One...!
For me, The first thing you should do is to be always keeps an emergency first aid kit in your car at all times in case an accident occurs when least expected. The emergency kit will help you out when you or the other driver have minor injuries due to the car accident. I suffered from a car accident two years ago and thankful to www.emergencybugoutbags.net whose advice of keeping emergency kit helps me a lot.
A very nice video with very helpful ideas! Thank you! My two cents? If you have kids, you need warm/waterproof stuff for them if you all need to walk anywhere. You need more food and snacks, Ramen packs with beef jerky, or easy to open Progresso soup tins. If you are going to camp or stay in car, some little games. You need several gallons of water and warm fleece blankets, less pointless survival gear and more real world stuff. you can't eat all that cordage. There are better straps available for winching if you need to be pulled out. Work with your wife on this and also check out Pintrest for Mommy car storage plans. Stuff for kids to do keeps the whining down. A pop up tent for six would be a good idea and warm sleeping bags. collapsible chairs in bags and a fold out table with mini benches. You have nothing to support a sprained hand, knee, or ankle, all of which can happen when trying to get out of a crashed car, or change a tire in a ditch. You need some magazines to support a broken wrist, arm or limb and you need some kind of large bandana to make a sling for a broken arm or wrist. You have no tool for breaking windows if the car rolls into deep water, nothing to cut seat belts quickly if the car is on fire, both of which need to be up next to the drivers seat and next to the front passenger seat. If your kids are big, add two of those in the backseat as well. You don't have anything fo contain water or make food in?, Research tailgate dinners gear, its very useful.
great kit.......... just thought I would throw in thoughts below......i see now that you have some stuff i mentioned.
You could put one of your blankets in a trashbag, so you have something to place your knees on when changing a tire.
I'd dump the tape measure and add a candle, as a candle inside a stranded car can raise the temp inside to at least 50 deg without too much risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Have a comparable size metal container for the candle so it doesn't tip, start a fire etc. Consider a Life Straw or Sawyer water filtration in lieu of purification tabs. Fairly cheap through WalMart. I love the labelling idea. Next weekend, sets of labels coming up!
You may want to swap your jumper cables with an Acker Power Core Jump Starter 600. It allows you the benefit of being self reliant. Plus, you won't have to jump anyone off of your battery.
Never used canned inflator on a car but have used it on a road bike in the middle of the night, Allowed me to do the 100+km I needed to get there.
Good job on the car kit. But one change I would make is to replace the 2x4s with old floor mats for traction. Because, a piece of wood on ice under the wheel of a vehicle could become a dangerous projectile. An old floor is durable , can store flat, and if becomes airborne won't be as hazardous as piece of solid wood. Just an observation..
Danny - good idea - thanks for sharing that.
Watched several of your videos. Good stuff! I think "Slime" makes a fix a flat that shops are okay with. Washes out a lot easier than other brands.
Thanks for views, and good to know - Slime will be something I'll look into.
Sits right on the shelf next to Fix-A-Flat in the store. I buy Fix A Flat everytime, fuck the whiney tire shop guys
nice videos!.....you should include some Can food & jerky
Looks like a pretty good kit you have there. One though I like to keep flares in my car. Not only are they good for keeping other people from hitting your car but they don't go out easily once lit, and provide a great way to start a fire if you should need.
Got em - 14:35.
EverydayTacticalVids Jeez, I have no idea how I missed that one haha sorry man. Great vids though keep em up, they are super helpful!
Jackson Price Glad to make them. Thanks for watching.
ty
TOW STRAP! That rope just might not get it done. Speaking from experience; do not assume the good samaritan with a 4x4 capable of pulling you out will have one.
How about adding one of those cheap solar phone battery chargers? I found them on Amazon, just check the reviews for the best deal. A case of blue can water isn't cheap but has a 50-year life (not in a car I'm sure) but it'll outlast anything else I reckon.
i would add some more fire kit stuff
I've had two flat tires at the same time, knowing how to change a flat would do no good as it's usually only one spare tire. At last with fix-a-flat you can put the spare on and get the other up enough to get to a garage
i think instead of the car charger for the phone i would rather have a power bank that uses batteries in case the car battery is dead, what do you think?
In cold weather that bank will be dead sooner

Fix A Flat definitely does work, mechanics just dont like it because when doing a tire repair, it is very difficult to remove the residue inside original puncture or lining. But for an emergency tire repair it is good.
