Get Prepared With An Emergency Car Kit: The Ultimate Car Survival Kit

[Backdoor Survival 14]

We all know what a bug out bag is: “A portable kit that contains the items one would require to survive for seventy-two hours when evacuating from a disaster.” You will hear such a kit referred to by many other names, including “72 hour kit:, “go bag” or G..D (get out of dodge)bag. The exact term you use in not really all that important since the whole goal is to have basic essentials for survival readily available should disaster strike. A couple of days ago I wrote about the myriad of things that could happen to put you and your family in a bug out situation (see “A list for those that think it will never happen to them”). Some, such as a earthquake or tsunami, are natural disasters and other, such as a nuclear melt-down or civil disobedience, are man made. The common thread with all of these disasters is the need to mobilize quickly and to have everything you need ready – really ready – with no scrambling around or afterthought. So imagine this. You are on a road trip and you vehicle stops. It is early evening and starting to get dark but you are pretty handy around cars so you open the hood, move a few hoses and wires around, the try to get things going again. You are alone and there is little if any traffic on the deserted road. As much as you try, the engine is deader than a doornail and you are stuck. It is now dark and there you are in the middle of nowhere. Darn, you forgot to charge your cell phone battery so you can’t call. And man oh man, it is starting to get cold. You are hungry and your are thirsty.
