Erik,
Good job preparing.
You may need to schedule a seasonal rotation if you have extreme variations.
I did not see gloves on your list; definitely include these in a car kit.
Also a headlamp will supplement the Innova with a hands free option which may be very important while working on a car in the dark.
Not to sound morbid but do you have any expedient weapons?[/b] A broken down car can often be a target for thugs. Maybe keep a D-cell maglite (I know it is a dinosaur but..) and a LARGE tire iron in the trunk. Having two large tools in your hands while disabled is both legal and discouraging to thieves.
[b]In this day and age I assume all your drivers have cell phones? Todat this is a total must have. If check out a prepaid emergency option like Tracfone.
forgot to list them but the tool kit also contains pigskin gloves and 2 emergency ponchos
i havent found a good deal on a good led headlamp, but i'm looking. Suggestions? cost not an issue.
for self defense i rely on my EDC folding knife and two years of MA training, as i'm not of age to purchase a handgun and a long gun is impractical for car use.
yeah, prepaid cell phone with 1000 minutes is part of my EDC.
