I don't if anyone is all that pleased with them. But they are what they are and happen to be in the Corporate bag. I can't change them out there but I would like to change them in my own car kit. MEC has some good matches but cannot be shipped so on a future travel trip I could pick some up. I consider matches to be my backup, in case the lighters and the cigarette lighter in the car don't work. :-)

No, I didn't have a sleeping bag but I did have 2 fleece blankets, one in the trunk and the other as combo seat cushion. A good sleeping bag takes a fair bit of volume but if I ever get around to replacing my 0* down bag with a -7* down bag for regular camping, I will consider putting the 0* bag in the car.


That's an interesting idea, I already have candles as supplemental heat in the vehicle but a bit of TP for other purposes :-) may come in handy.


Yeah, sorry about the length of the post but I want to think about the survival gear in it's entirety instead of just the on-person gear or just the car gear. There is a fair bit of redundancy, but that's OK as I have the extra room in the car kit. I want to start thinking about what might be a better subsitute for inclusion in my BOB vs what I already have.
I've taken Standard First Aid classes but I want to further that with a Wilderness F/A course and also some wilderness survival courses to broaden my abilities/knowledge. Knowledge is always a good thing and it takes so little space to pack it in! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
