My main emergency kit lives in my car:
  • Technology / lighting / battery module
  • Knife / saw / tools module
  • Warmth / shelter module
  • Medical module
  • Admin / reference module
  • Navigation module
  • Comms module
  • Water / Food module
  • Hygiene module
  • Defense module

This is in one (fairly heavy) bag that's "wife-portable" for shorter distances. In the unlikely event that a longer walk is called for, we'd need to divide the load or dump some of it.

The winter module is added on to that:
  • Snow brush / ice scraper (heavy-duty, extendable model made of stainless steel
  • Voile Telepro avalanche shovel
  • entrenching tool
  • extreme cold weather sleep system
  • Work gloves
  • Extra cold weather gloves
  • Extra parka
  • Dry clothes

There's a car-specific kit that has some relevant components:
  • Good spare tire
  • Working jack and lug wrench
  • Two feet of steel pipe to use as a cheater bar for lug wrench
  • Tow strap
  • Thick jumper cables
  • Costco "jump pack" jumpstarter/compressor/area light, charged monthly
  • Galvanized wire
  • tire plug kit
  • Alumaseal
  • self-fusing silicone tape
  • Assortment of auto fuses
  • four hose clamps
