Your Emergency Car Kit

What do you guys keep in the car as must have emergency supplies? Trying to build one for both our cars. We’ll also at times, have a family member riding with us, who has a heart issue.

Seen a bunch on Amazon (like this) but some of the stuff may never be used/needed but thought I’d ask here what you guys are using

Can’t go wrong with a Kirkland 40 pack of water bottles for starters. Especially in the summer.

Unless you’re in Texas where the Sun of Hell is beating down on your car - even while garaged LOL

Your water becomes tea :slight_smile:

I’ve got a first aid kit and a bunch of diapers/change of clothes for my daughter.

And way too many baby shark toys.

diapers/change of clothes - you’re a parent.

I’ve got a portable potty - just in case.

Also a parent :slight_smile:

Beach blanket, cliff bar, some trail mix, and a tire inflator in cars without spares. In the taycan we now carry a spare charger up front.

I also keep a duffel with a spare change of clothes and a toothbrush @perdana

I have a similar kit that I get from Costco for $30 on sale. ($40 regular price)

I use the air compressor and the jumper cables the most, although I have used the electrical tape.

got stuck in snow twice in Midwest Blizzards so my winter kit is kinda my emergency kit

5 Gal Gas
Portable Shovel
Blankets
One pair thick fleece sweat pants and sweatshirt
tire inflator
Battery Jump
at least 20k mAh battery pack for phone charging
traction boards (helpful if you have a truck or 4x4 to get outta snow during tow bans)
ibuprofen, water pack, energy bars
tow straps which double as tie downs for cargo in the truck bed

my emergency kit is very winter recovery focused - might be wise to add first aid kit but usually most cars come with one so never really bothered

I am a big fan of the led flares. We give them to our truck drivers as well. Quality ones, not the cheap knock offs tho.
