- Jason builds a compact survival kit for his wife’s car. If it is to stay in the car and not be removed for extra space it has to be small. Jason packs a med kit, fire starters, shelter, a cooking pot, maps, ammo, a pocket sized survival kit, multitool, wool blanket, water filter and more.

What would you add to this kit? Watch the gear being tested by Jason’s wife in this video th-cam.com/video/dS7eTOb0sgw/w-d-xo.html
i would add a couple headlamps. at least one. i have a couple put around the visors. easy to find, and also can be used as a map light. mine have red and white led's. maybe also put a few puck style road flares in there if she breaks down with the battery jump starter/tire inflator.
Putting headlamps on the visors is a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
@@libertyg4402 you're welcome! wish i could say it was my original idea, but its one i stole from my brother-in-law.
I'd go ahead and throw a few bottles of water and a few mountain house meals in. Also a flashlight or headlamp. Maybe a small tarp, 5x7 or something small.
Thank you, Jason 👉 I'm driving solo all the time so this will greatly help “add things to complete my car kit”👌Not only are you helping your wife have things she’ll need “but you're also helping the rest of us (females out here) & in my case minus a good man around 👉 Grateful, Brynnlea from North Alabama
A headlamp comes in handy at night when you have to crawl under the car or check something.
Gives use to both hands and is multipurpose.
I had to unwind a mangled metal piece under my car once and thank god I had my headlamp 👍
@@viscousmartincarey7031 +1 vote for a headlamp.
Need a ham radio for communication. Very handy when the phone is out for whatever reason
GMRS would be my preference. No license necessary.
I usually build my own kits because I have tons of training and experience but I will say if some aren't I bought a mymedic car kit when it was 70% off on their website and it's pretty solid as far as anything you need in an emergency, especially if you can get it for the price I did, besides that we have trauma kits, and the little jumpers/chargers and self defense, also luckily my wife used to be a medic so she was emt certified so she knows more than me in that realm.
That's a good point I need to add a map to mine I have garmins but if dead or EMP or something those are no good.
If you do like I did when we went to Canada in 2019 no one will mess with your stuff. I locked down our Honda EU2000i Generator to our rack on the back of our camper and wrapped it up in a big black trash bag tied at the top and bungee the top of the bag down. No one even gave it a look on a 46 day trip. I keep my Get home bag in a black garbage bag tied up in the car too. Just carrying off the trash folks. Nothing to steal in here. 😊LOL
Button Compass... That's all Rambo ever had.😂 Great video
I want to add, your car can get broken into or get stolen, so have something you can take out with you, because CRIMINALS DAMMIT.
yeah I had all my good stuff like this in my car, and guess what? Some @$$hole has it now, and I'm never getting it back
Yes. This is something often not thought about.
Yeah that’s my concern. I use a pilot’s flight bag, then take it out of the trunk at the end of each trip. It can be a pain in the neck but why risk losing good kit. I also have a couple of those fold up small backpacks that are used in promotional materials.
@@tonyelbows8045sounds like you and whoever stole your property should have a private meeting in an elevator 😏
I have a rigid plastic storage box with a lid that clips on, Plano or rubbermaid do them. You can put a padlock on them and I attach a steel cable which is fixed to the chassis of the car. Yes, if you had the time and the tools you could smash or cut it off but most theft from cars are opportunistic and are smash and grab type thefts. Anything that increases the time, effort and noise or requires anything more than a rock to smash the window works against the thief. Not perfect but better than nothing.
Some dry wool socks,
in a dry bag.
Cordage & a tarp.
Stay safe folks!
A few "lady products" might be a good thing to throw in. Stressful situations can bring things on earlier than expected and it always good to be prepared.
I had lady things in my glove compartment 10 years after the change of life. You never know when someone else is going to need one.
@@nmr6988 Yes Ma'am.
In the car I do not leave batteries in flashlights. I package them separately.
Over the years I've given tow straps, diamond sharpeners, space blankets, ferro rods, knives, flashlights, kubotans as stocking stuffers.
I've never seen the trunk of a Subaru, but most spots for the spare have extra space. We keep a complete tire repair kit, 4 way lug, jumper cables, and the wool blanket in with the spare. We also keep the $1 rain ponchos and some simple tie downs.
It's good to be able to create fire, but for a automotive kit, it's just as important to be able to put fire out. Along with a jack, spare tire, charger, etc, add a fire extinguisher. You can get a small one with a mounting plate to keep it secure and easily accessible. You may never need it, but you will be glad for it if you do. I was.
A fire suppression blanket would be good too! Smaller extinguishers can't always do the job in getting the fire out.
Comms, a GMRS or other radio. Signaling, road flares and/or flare gun.
Headlamp, work gloves, and a small ground tarp? Nice to have for changing a flat.
I place essential tools, fuses, fluids, hygiene, snacks . . . . . . into my wife's/daughters cars (its in a medium sized tub) and when I have to rescue them, I use their kit to impress upon them the need for the kit (even though I have everything needed in my car. I just never know if ill be arriving in my car). This has happened several times, so the point had been made and the leave the kit alone until they need it. And, they tell me when they've used something that I need to replenish. My son however, ate all his snacks, drank all the water and lost halve the tools. He's on his own. He's a boy.
Great pack and full of useful items. You have a way to pump up the tire but no way to patch it. A tire repair kit would be good. Better to patch the full sized tire than put the donut on that the Subaru comes with. Also a rechargeable headlight so she can go hands free if she needs too.

I'd ad a couple bottles of water and some cliff bars.
A vehicle ends up needing several different kits:
(1) You need a car kit - the things you need to fix a flat, change a tire, jump a battery, tools to change a battery, a means to siphon or fetch gas, spare oil, some cleaning rags, road flags/flares and reflective vest, etc. The things you need to get your car going (or help out someone else).
(2) You need a first aid kit. It needs the usual aspirin and bandaids for soccer practice as well as the big stuff (tourney, clot, gauze) - and it seems you had all that stuff in there. The upside is that if you are dealing with car wreck level trauma it means that the cars are still running and an ambulance is on the way.
(3) You need the "camp out of the car" kit. Sufficient water, snacks, warmth, cover, etc that you can "shelter in place" at your vehicle for 3-7 days in any situation from middle of the barren desert to buried in snow during a blizzard. Most survival situations from a car are best solved by staying with the car.
(4) You need the "get home bag" with the essentials needed to walk from the furthest distance you regularly travel (not necessarily long trips like vacations, but the usual work, church, store, etc). Much of that overlaps with the "camp out" kit - so long as you have a suitable carry bag to put them in.
(5) You need the "life happens" kit - with fun happenings (towels and suits for the family for swimming, a picnic blanket, a spare soccer ball/frisbees, etc) and the not fun happenings (toilet paper, paper towels, wet wipes, trash bags, diapers if you have littles, etc) for when someone has a bathroom emergency, pukes in the back seat, etc.
I keep most of these in one massive backpack with the understanding that if I need to walk away I can remove the things I don't need to walk with (car stuff, some of the first aid, extra water, towels, etc). Some things sit on the side (I usually keep a sack of cat litter for getting out of a mud or snow slick). Wife was NOT happy when I took half her trunk for her car's bag, but since it was a single bag that could be removed easily, she relented and let it stay. After she got used to raiding it when she needed something (a pair of work gloves, aspirin, flashlight, fishing line, glowsticks, etc), she grew to like it.
I also keep a party bag with body armor and a rifle caliber pistol (state laws make that necessary rather than an actual rifle) - but that is due to my particular preferences and situation - but that is not really something needed and is something I would leave if I had to walk out (I have other armor and firearms at home, after all, and would not want the extra weight while bugging).
Looks good 👍I strapped my family pack to the back, of the back seat. Its up out of the way and not rolling around!
Button compass is fine
I have a hot weather kit and a cold weather kit. A large umbrella because I'm very fair skinned is always in the car, and I always have snacks/food for me and my dog. There's other stuff too, but the aforementioned items are in the car 365.
I’d add a flashlight with batteries. A good one. In winter I’d throw hand warmers in it. Also might include $100 in small bills a few $20’s and 10’s and 5’s, and maybe 5 $1.00 bills. I also would like to have gloves like leather or mechanics gloves to protect hands, then since it’s for your wife maybe pepper spray or bear spray? Then the life boat emergency food bars.
Add a whistle for Sach family member.
Growing up in California in the 80s and 90s our dad insisted we have a emergency 🦺 kit in our cars.
Plastic milk crate
Water
Tent
MRE military ration 🪖
Flashlight 🔦
Radio 📻
Blanket
First aid kit
Jumper cables
Basic tools
Gas can
Except of the survival ulu and the Leatherman Wave there's no cutting tool in the kit - a Mora Companion and a 10"-folding-saw IMHO are essentials. As a car-kit, there should be a digging tool as well as a lenght of Dyneema rope and a pulley to get it unstuck.
Gloves and good walking shoes depending on what she normally wears. Cash.
Forgotten items. At least 1 gallon of water, could be 8 of the 16.9 oz water bottles too. Back up cell phone charging stick and car charger. Ideally a GMRS radio and spend the 35.00 to get a license. Program repeaters into it along her regular route to Atlanta. Look into getting a decent 50 watt GMRS base radio and a good antenna and coax at your house. Remember it is line of sight so get the antenna as high as possible with as few obstacles as possible between the house and receiving station. Again area of horizon towards her regular route. Lots of TH-cam videos for more information. Thanks for the video!
a phone. i carry 2 all the time. one average every day use 2nd is just emergency so only 911 just back up if problems with phone 1.
I might have missed it but you can add some money. Because you might need to buy something..... And you know that bad luck always comes in more than 1 nes...... If the power is down then you will need cash.
cOLLAPSABLE SNOW SHOVEL
Excellent info!
Thanks for hat info. Your vids rock bro!!!!!
Add a suture set and toiletries
I had the same issue as you. My fiancee is a make-up artist & photographer, so she always carry a lot of crap in her trunk... I realized that for her, less his more, and settled for a small, compact kit (sling bag) with just the basic necessities... Focusing more on communication/signaling (a.k.a. getting help), because sadly her survival skills are lacking (although I'm working on it, but it's a slow process). Skills are important, but I do believe that today, 90% of problems can be solved with a charged smartphone.
No survival stuff but how many phone cords and chargers?
@@Nunya9876 Just what's needed. Battery, charger, phone, etc... And yes, Survival stuff as well, but my hope is that in 95% of the cases she won't even need it... (We live in Switzerland, we're never far from civilization)
Great idea, since space is an issue, every considered, breaking the pack up into smaller sections & storing them under the seats? We all know how it miraculously swallows cellphones,french fries etc...
Carabiners and some paracord. Anything would be better than a chair cover, please.
Headlamp(s) at least one, phone charging cable, and charger.
🤪Aaaa! You put the reflective -safety -blankets in the pot and no one will find them there!! Please pack it in one of the outside pockets. As a man, you obviously didn't think about it, but your wife definitely needs menstrual pads and feminine hygiene products. Additionally, every car should have at least one high-visibility reflective safety vest. 🇩🇪🇩🇪By the way, in Germany this is an absolute requirement by law for every person in the car. Instant drinks, instant coffee, electrolyte powder are also always good. The most important thing in the cockpit is a seat belt cutter and a tool to break the window. really always good videos and ideas,👍👍
Talvi, kylmäilma, vaihto vaatteet, alusvaatteet merinovillaa. Jos joutuu nopeasti siirtymään autolla niin todennäköisesti joutuu olemaan jonkinaikaa ulkona ja sään armoilla.
Have you check out pull start fire staters. I took one out a couple weeks ago it had rained 3days straight so it was a great time to test one. I was amazed out some small pencil size and then some thumb size then some wrist size mist was damp and pulled the string for the thing to start it started the fire it burned for 20 minutes or so. It would be good for those time when hands are so cold hard to move them. On just need a fire NOW. They work
I'm sorry I know you're probably good and I know you're probably good at this but if nothing else pack the same thing that you do for your family because if you go they'll be stuck without you and you got to think about that so pack heavy
Hi Jason, Would add a headlamp, poncho and a couple 4" glow sticks. I love your videos, keep up the good work.
See ya on the next one
I saw you add para cord into the mix however you might want to consider Bank Line. I have two types #36 Tarred Bank Line in case I need or want to be more stealth. Yellow #18 Bank Line from Home Depot because this is what they have. I often use the yellow bank line on various projects large and small. PS You would probably tell me to go home. I wish you were my neighbor!
I like bank line, too. However, I just added 30 feet of Kevlar 300 lb. test to my pocket carry. Small and strong. Have a good one!
Bank line is too thin and will cut into your hands. Paracord is ever so much better.
Great video buddy
Everything is a compromise. Distance to travel, weather conditions, possible vs probable situations. You have the water filter but not a container. Are "you/wife" going to be cooking on the side of the road in an effort to get home? Generally after car troubles/accident staying with the vehicle is better than venturing out, so what can make the situation easier? Good stuff.
Jason - please hang the flag, don’t use it as a chair cover!
God Bless America!
I’d really like to. I don’t have a big enough open space to hang it. I don’t want it out in the elements. I might come up with something.
Let us know if she tosses that kit outta the car too ! ! !
Everybody can get the very best of equipment..... But the thing is if you don't know how to use it..... Then it's just weight.
Would you consider gloves for your wife for the cutting tools, Jason?? God forbid she’s cold and shaking and trying to cut something and gets her hand or digits. 😮
Tire plugs
Who else can relate to arming and prepping the women in our lives just for them to leave the gear at home 😂🤦🏽♂️
Perfect desinated water bottel
my spider hat is missing Jason, Please let me know where to purchase them, Great Vid!!!!
I think that's a Wazoo hat. Check out there website.
It’s the Timmy Hat by TRC Outdoors
zip tietake no space/weight.
Lipstick
99% of women are unprepared. For example, my ex-girlfriend: USMC, 2001-2005: Kuwait and Afghanistan. She can't change a tire. Most important kit for women, IMO: a good phone with fully-charged power bank.
most women will be a liability, because their mantra is utilize men for their gain. Shed unwanted pounds!
I’d add some female products.
Socks
Always need extra socks and skivvies, and for my girls... girl products.
Not part of the survival kit, but a spare set of clothes in a waterproof plastic bag would be useful.
These videos are interesting and informative, but I think the gun tucked in the pants might not be a good look for your international audience (and some say YT algorithm would agree). I know a lot of prepper types in the US wouldn’t get dressed without one so this will be a controversial comment, and I’m not commenting at all on ownership here, just visibility. I’m sad to say I’ll be clicking the don’t recommend button. I know I don’t have to actually put it in the comments, but might be food for thought, Jason (or not, I guess).
I am just being myself. I carry a gun often. I don’t t take it off or put it on for videos. Typically I conceal it with my shirt but it has been so dang hot around here I didn’t want to sweat all over it. I really appreciate the feedback very much. I can’t spend my time worried about who I might offend. If someone is offended by the sight of a gun then this may not be the channel for them.
@@SurvivalDispatch Exactly! I'm a woman and I carry as well!
@@SurvivalDispatch All good, I wouldn’t want you to feel that you can’t be true to yourself. Kudos to you and your community at this point that I didn’t immediately get a pile of hate mail! It’s maybe a pity that your channel could lose a few viewers as you seem to have some sensible ideas to share, but probably not a great loss to you in the scheme of things. Hopefully TH-cam is clever enough not to show it to kids too, most likely. All the best to you, and I hope you never have to use it.
@slippery999 thanks for hat info..TRoutdoors!
