I would also suggest adding some food to snack on like hard candy, breakfast bars, but nothing real salty. If you are worred about shelflife Lifeboat Rations can be purchsed from places like Ebay and Amazon they have a 5 year Shelf Life, Non-Thirst Provoking and Withstands Temperatures of -40° F to 300°F (-40°C to 149°. I would also place a litter or two of water in the front of the vehicle before I left the house.

I myself use to have a couple packs of vacuum pack Ritz crackers and a jar of peanut butter in trunk during winter months as well as candy and some snack bars.

A few weeks ago when Atlanta got shut down by a storm I suggested such a kit and was not so much surprised as disappointed by how many FReepers thought that carry such a kit was foolish. Just goes to show that there are even some FReeppers who rather depend of FEMA or the National Guard to bring them a bottle of water, a MRE, a warm blanket and a kiss for thier boo-boo and maybe even get thier picture on the national news rather then to take any precautions themselves.

that “I don’t need to prepare” mindset is largely responsible for the mess in the ATL two weeks ago. People have become too dependent on the guvment telling what to do and when to do it.

The trouble with my keeping a well-stocked kit in my truck is that a “helpful” family member keeps taking it out while complaining that I keep too much stuff around.

(Same one who keeps throwing out my preps if I don't hide them well enough.)

As always, thanks Kartographer for the information.

I have to do some checking to see if there is duct tape in ALL my packs! Water straws were finally available locally so that is now covered too!
