A herd of deer, swerve and an unimaginably horrific five-day ordeal. She has a lot of guts and had a lot of luck.

Gives me the heebie-jeebies thinking about it. Just got back from the mountains today. Me and the pup.

Sounds like the essentials should be in a single bag, secured adjacent to the driver. Perhaps in the passenger seat if traveling alone. Secured by seatbelt?

In a rollover, I'd be lucky if I were not killed by all the stuff in my vehicle.

Death by bottled water - there's a case of it in the back. Unsecured.
