- Essential life saving items for Preppers who drive! All items should be within easy reach of the driver yet secured so they don't cause harm on impact following a road traffic accident. Don't become a statistic!

It's interesting what is considered vehicle emergency tools in different countries. I grew up in Canada and emergency parka, gloves, hat, boots and sleeping bag were essential. Other essentials included flares, shovel, 30 inch hatchet, a few knives and a radio (2 way).
First aid kit and fire extinguisher were secondary and we normally opened the windows when driving on a lake, but there were always plenty of things available to break a window with.
@@rich7447 our winters are rarely that bad to justify carrying a hatchet, knives and road flares. Much more likely to be involved or caught up in an RTC than anything else. Cheers for watching, enjoy your day 👍
@@p2snetwork I had one incident where I didn't have the hatchet and had to finish off an injured ground hog with a snow brush. It's better with a hatchet especially for larger animals (deer etc).
A torch within reach is also useful, my fire extinguisher is mounted on the passenger seat base at the front, I can reach it seat belted. Buy one with a gauge so you can periodically check it.
The torch, more importantly a head lamp is 100% required. Thank you
Cheers Mate. Great content as always. I'd just add two items to the "kit". Both are also useful in case one needs to abandon the car, for whatever reason... 1) some means of a Audible Sound "alarm" in case an accident renders the electrical system inoperable... Lifeboat/Sports Whistle, or compressed air Air Horn, 2) Two Road Flares. Again in case the electrical system is inoperable. Also good for emergency Fire starting.
As for location of the Fire Extinguisher, when I was with the police department (civilian & military) they were attached to the front seat floor immediately below the driver's knees (not to interfere with the seat movement or operating pedals (brake, gas, clutch). One way to "mount" a first aid kit is to attach a shoulder strap and hang it over the headrest of the passenger side front seat, facing the back seat. I retasked a British Army MTP gas mask haversack into a trauma kit and hang it as described. ATB !
@@baronedipiemonte3990 cheers mate and some excellent points👍 My extinguisher is mounted on the floor, just Infront of the passenger seat. Love the idea of the FAK hung from the head rest. Trouble is, in the UK some spotty oink will put the window through to nick it thinking it was a handbag 😞
Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.
Hi DV. Yeah I have a good first aid kit and it is in the boot. Shall sort myself something near me at the front. Good ideas..... on it!
@@TeaOutdoor cheers for watching mate and enjoy the weekend. Stay safe 👍
Personally, I keep my fire extinguisher, first aid kit, un-lubricated condom water carrying device and signalling mirror mounted underneath the brake pedal.
No one’s stealing my stuff!
@@iCozzh glad you don't keep them wrapped around your little ends with copious amounts of HMP grease 🤣🤣🤣
Nice one, Allen . Cheers, mate. Hwyl, Taffy Nige (yeah, we lost!) 🤘✌️🐑
