An entire roll of toilet paper.
Depending on what you are trying to be prepared for - a good set of bolt cutters.
That one time you came home with only one sock?I always have toilet paper in my vehicle now. Ever since that one time...
Hummm... I guess it might be a bigger emergency then expected.
I also have: a Sawyer mini water filter, tubing , dirty bag and 2 liter clean bag; sling shot and ammo; a couple of Mountain House meals; and dryer lint or cotton balls with petroleum jelly in an old film canister.
Film canisters were great back in the day, as you get older empty pill bottles will take their place.

Regarding a tourniquet, you have paracord you have a tourniquet.
Major tissue damage. 550 cord is way to thin to use as a tourniquet. Ideally you want at least and inch to inch and a half in material width. Last resort is spot on. Just carry at CAT tourniquet and you're good to go. I carry one on my person and at least three in my truck.That should be a last resort. The amount of pressure required would damage alot of tissue.
I snap up pallet bag that show up clean and undamaged at work.Surprised no one has mentioned big trash bags, cut holes to make a poncho, lay on snow when chaining up, spread out in the trunk bringing home plants, etc. etc..

Yea CAT tourniquets don't feel great but they sure work good. When we would do training you never wanted to piss off your training partner. Extra crank or two and you're really feeling it. Haha. A lot of people don't know how to place or correctly apply a tourniquet.I think everyone should try on a CAT where it's tight enough that you can't feel a pulse in that limb. It's not comfortable at all. I couldn't imagine a piece of cord.
