Perhpas, just perhaps, we have programmed our brains too narrowly on what is considered "emergency". And then, its only in what we consider "emergency" that our subconsious kicks in and trigger the rememberance of the "kit".

What I am saying is this: either we program our minds for "urban" , err.. less dramatic, less hazardous events, as "emergencies too, or we fnd a ways ( or ways) to make forgetting the EDC impossible.

You can have another kit in the car.
