The NOCO brand jump starter has done me well.
@@samparker8024 That seems to be what everyone says is the best
For the battery jumper, after getting stranded, I asked the AAA driver about his booster. NOCO gbx75 2500a it will jump everything short of semi trucks. It holds a good charge and has saved my bacon a bunch. It's definitely a buy once cry once type of item, like quantity traction boards over knock-off types or good tools of any type. I highly recommend it.
Just buy a new car battery if they 2018 or older. 12volt
Cant agree more. And a booster works as battery pack to recharge a phone etc as well and most have a flashlight also.
Growing up in Alaska and my dad being a SERE guy he always emphasized on the importance of having a winter kit. Still to this day I keep a kit in my wife’s car, my car and even a smaller one in my work van.
@@andrewwagenaar5483 awesome stuff man!
Good video Build yourself an alcohol heater with a small paint can , roll of toilet paper and some alcohol. The cans are cheap . Make sure to get a lid with it . Have a good one
Halo battery/jumper. Always keep it charged and never had a problem jumping my F-150. Used it 3 times in 5 years. Prob not the best jump box but have used it often for zero turn tractor and charging a laptop a great many times
You never know when crazy stuff will happen . It's good to be prepared
I know the impression of harbor freight stuff but battery jump box I got has impressed me for $60.00 has been great last year. Didn't know you were HVAC guy also.
A pretty solid kit!
I'd suggest keeping that extinguisher toward the top of that box until you mount it because that's something that if you need it you need it NOW. Also, keeping the water in the box is fine but maybe not IN the bag with your extra layers because it may not freeze but could leak. I actually keep some water in my truck inside an insulated bag. Many use them as coolers to keep things cold but forget they can also insulate a bit against the cold and keep a warmer temp inside to prevent liquids freezing in winter (and I'm in Wisconsin so I know winter lol). And yeah, as another person suggested, the NOCO booster is GREAT to give yourself a jump -- I have the old ROAV/Anker one in my truck and the NOCO in my car. Biggest thing is some of those jumpers are not rated for engines like my 5.3L V8 in my Tahoe so that could be why you blew through a few.
I have a Chevy Suburban with a big V8 engine. After leaving the Suburban sitting for 6 months the battery was completely dead. I have a Weego Power Pack 70 and it started it no problem. Highly recommend.
I was stuck in a deep snow drift yesterday. I had all I needed until a very nice farmer neighbor saw me and pulled me out. I had a poop bucket but was lucky enough to not need it....there was a lot of yellow snow around my vehicle for some reason 😂
@@timburks1598 I’ve heard about that lemon flavored snow😂
The one DeWalt makes that is the size of a brick is a very good one I have used it dozens of times jumping side by sides and 4 wheels and also several vehicles
Great information! I wish more people would take the time to equip they're vehicles for emergencies. Couple years ago I was on a road call in a massive winter storm (I'm in VT so it was no joke of a storm) and my service truck slide off the road along with about a dozen other cars. I had nothing and was without proper clothing, food or water! I was out there for 4-5 hours! Lesson learned! I now keep a proper emergency kit in my vehicles!
Do you remember you talk about another batterie i have small booster pack very effective
Man, you didn't leave anything out. Great kits.
@@busyboy7635 Thanks for watching!
Stresses me out to see everything getting snowed on! Hope it all got spread out to dry, later. Anyway, new sub. I don't even own a vehicle right now, but I took notes. :)
Wolfbox 4000A is the jumper I have and had no issues. Used it several times for other peoples vehicles and on my truck when my alternator was going bad
Thanks. Your recommendation is more compact than the one that I listed. I may buy one for myself. The 893
@@Bushcraftnbaseball I’ll Definitely give that one a look
Nice, this one looks like a power brick as well as a jumper. Good recommendation!
Awesome video brother! I carry a lot of the same gear! I Should make a video as well. Never even thought to do so haha
Gooloo jump starter has worked multiple times for us!!
Great video !!
I second GOOLOO, they make multiple models but the 100 dollar yellow model will be sufficient. Also is a power prick to charge stuff. Also if the $330 is in you're budget the noco charger mentioned above is top dog for a reason.
I have a tote in my car too, but you gave me something to think about as far as what im lacking. Thanks, from Wisconsin
What a timely video. I also live in Ohio and I was just thinking about this very subject today and up pops your video. Gonna get busy assembling kits for our four vehicles. Thanks!
Good advice and kit there! Extra layers and a full change of clothes are the key to staying warm in the cold. If you’re wet or sweated through, you can remove the wet layers, dry off with a towel/cloth and put on the dry layers. Making a fire might not be an option. Knowing how to fix/maintain/repair your vehicle is a definite plus, with a toolkit and knowledge you can get back in the road if you don’t have extremely serious issues (the major stuff-transmission slipping or clutch blowing out, or major engine damage you can fix on the side of the road), but you can swap a bad tire for the spare, and do some other repairs. I’ve learned to carry a few extra snacks (the equivalent of a meal or 2) with me daily, wherever I go. I’d be mindful of water if left in the vehicle-it could freeze and burst the container if not enough space is left inside for the expansion of freezing. Same thing with any water filter and treatment tablets-if the temperature gets below the “safe range” of the tablets, it can compromise them, making them useless, and will not treat water properly to prevent you from getting sick. 🤢
Great kit. Thanks for sharing.
It’s called Raynaud’s disease. I’ve got that as well. OCOOPA usb c hand warmers really help.
Glad to see the video brother, thanks for sharing.
Great advice ! I don’t go anywhere without my kit,so I always have a headlamp but for the people that are just building a cold weather car kit throw a headlamp in that tote,so if you have to repair your vehicle or hook up that tow strap assess damage you can see what your doing I also have a spot in my engine bay for a second battery so I added one to give me plenty of power for charging my devices should I be stuck for any length of time and I have a small Coleman 12 v heater that runs off my cigarette lighter and I can make a small micro climate that I can make with blankets or plastic/tarp. I only have to warm up a small portion of the vehicle instead of trying to warm the entire Yukon xl interior and by doing that I save a lot of my vehicles battery life the opinion with these car kits are endless.
Noco gb1500 ,best booster pack out there
Happy to see you posting videos again.
@@jnasty_og1641 Thank you for taking the time to watch it!
Great video and very good kit you have. I got some inspirations to improve my kit. Cheers.
@@Wastelander13 I’m glad you enjoyed!
Your fire extinguisher and orange reflexive vest should be on the top layer of your tote. Life safety and rescue are top priorities among everything else you are prepared for in that tote. Have you considered mounting the fire extinguisher on the top of the tote lid?
@@stephendockery8417 I would mount it on the lid but I feel like that’d be more of a hassle than anything. They make side mounts for them to go on the inside wall of the FJ. As far as layered in importance, when you open up the tub you can pretty muster see everything inside of it, so I’m it to concerned with that.
How dare you tell him how to carry his gear….
The nerve you smooth brains have….
@@hiramhaji7813😂😂😂😂
Your fire extinguisher already has a mounting bracket. Just needs to be mounted!
@@stephendockery8417 I’ve got backing plates on the way for the inside. I’m gonna mount it on that rather than just screwing the mount straight into the plastic.
As soon as a video starts I check if there is a list with links under the vid.
Or list. That's the most helpful.
Enjoyed your video, thanks for making it. Made me think about some additions to my basic vehicle kit, which is mainly clothing. All the best 👍
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
GO BUCKEYES !!!!!!💪💪😤👏💯
Storm readiness above and beyond organizational well
Good luck with HVAC career welcome to the trades Jake
@@williamjaggers5569 Thank you sir! I love it!
With today’s modern vehicles I find that there is not much an old mechanic like me can do on the side of the road, I carry enough tools to replace belts, hoses and a water pump, and of course I can change a flat and have jumper cables. Most of my other stuff is about the same as you.
I like your focus on cover, layers, warmth! Most of the time it will be a matter of waiting it out. Did I see any calories/food? Maybe some “travelJohns”?
@@enriquediaz7547 I usually hav stuff laying around in the car, but I’ve got one of those Dextrak food bars in the warming kit.
The dextrak is like emergency lifeboat rations.
A good brand battery jumper: Norco.
In the comments, I’m seeing everybody else call it Noco; so, maybe that’s the correct name. Anyway, I agree. Happy trails. Be safe.
Just left Oklahoma we got about 9” of snow
@@williamjaggers5569 same here, with another 4 tonight
Hey I just thought of something cuz I was doing laundry.... I always throw out the dryer lint!... But wouldn't dryer lint make excellent fire starter?
And if you have a vacuum sealer... You can vacuum seal a bunch of it into small packs!
@@budboggess5575 You can definitely do that! Although I have found that cotton balls and Vaseline works a little bit better. I think it’s something to do with the synthetics in the dryer lint
The lint is free!😆
@ I know I know, just an observation of mine lol. It definitely still works!
I appreciate how quick you responded man!! Love your videos!! I'm in Florida! And I know how cold it is right now in your area because originally I'm from the middle of West Virginia!!
I can't afford a car kit. I just barely make it paycheck to paycheck.
@@JohnnyMillion-y1d That’s fine man, extra blankets and some food will go a long way.
Piece by piece you’d be surprised what a spare blanket some water and a ration bar does for you in an emergency
I feel you man. Look around the house fo things you can use, garage sales can be a great way to stretch a dollar into three if you look hard enough. Try finding one thing at a time and building up.
Find ways to make money not excuses why u can't.....
@@addicted2toolsthat would mean this person would have to take Responsibility for his actions….
What was that brand of wool jacket?
@@jaymecarter7425 WeatherWool
Sorry i missed it jake
Schumacher 2000 amp . O'REILLY'S auto $200 .
Thanks Jake be safe
Noco
Comment!
👎👎👎Hey Jake, This COULD'VE, WOULD'VE been an EXCELLENT Video, IF you provided viewers with a LIST and/or LINKS to the items in your Winter Vehicle Kit!!! For those reasons, I am giving you a HUGE THUMBS DOWN👎👎👎THANKS ANYWAY!!! Better luck next time!
I think you'll find the items I used are fairly common and readily available.
An $800 jacket ... REALLY ?!?! I always assumed you were a common man, like most of us. Seriously considering unsubscribing and blocking your channel. Maybe it's just cheap me, but that REALLY rubbed me the wrong way Bub!
Why does me choosing what I spend my money on rub you the wrong way?
Who cares what his jacket cost, how does it affect your daily life?
Do the community a favor and stay away….
Also he doesn’t give AF about you subscribed or not…
He has way more things to be doing than groveling at your comments…
Wtf is a fj.....
@@sonniali5241 The off road vehicle a jeep wishes it was.
Ooohhh lol educated
@@sonniali5241 Lol, nah it’s basically Toyotas version of a jeep. The quick making them in 2014 unfortunately. I really enjoy it tho!
