What is in your car?

[Mathias]

I took a CPR class from a veteran firefighter. Asked him what he carried in his trunk....he said "medical tape and baby diapers". Any accident where people are so cut up need absorbant pressure. I've added a tournaquet and wound pads since then.

That's a fake list. @AndyinEverson would never carry anything as cutting edge as a .45 unless it's a .45 Ye Olde Duelling Pistol.
The rest I believe.

[MikeInOr]

I keep a Leatherman tool, adjustable wrench, an old heavy down winter coat, a couple clark bars and a few zip ties.

When I lived in Texas one of my customers went after a wild hog with his 12 gauge, slipped on a wet log and blew his heel off. He was able to crawl back to his pickup and stop the bleeding with a zip tie which saved his life. It was never said but I always assumed beer was a contributing factor to the accident.

A can a cheez wiz.

This is a two fold approach. If you eat enough of it you won't need toilet paper for several days. We call it "heine biny" or binding agent, lol!! Maybe I should toss some cans in my car "just in case!"

 

[jrd541280]

If it's a half ton town truck, a quarter ton of ammo a few rifles and a weeks supply of food and shelter for you and yours. If it's a 3/4 ton or 1 ton full size diesel, a half ton of ammo and rifles and a weeks supply of food and shelter for you and yours, a trailer hitch, a 19' boat full of gas. Fishing gear. Camper is good. 120 volt adapter.

What is the planned use for the empty sand bags?

Can fill with earth and use to fill in a small ditch, or help get up over a rock.

I understand that in an apocalypse, Twinkies are like gold- better, even. This I learned from a smallish, whiny Jewish kid who was in seemingly endless angst about getting laid...

 

[American123]

I like to keep a couple of mags for my most frequently carried pistol in the glove box. A tourniquet, and something to start fires with. "Mountain money" - toilet paper and Flash light in the vehicle.

Besides that though. Jumper cables, entrenching tool, campers axe, flat tire repair kits and air compressor. In addition to a backpack of spare clothes and shoes in the trunk.

I don't like to keep anything in my car that financially would be difficult if it got stolen, but those "few" items allow a lot of situations to be remedied self contained.

"And all this stuff is now in my new truck."
But will you keep track well enough to know what you have should you need it?

A bunch of napkins from fast food restaurants. Apply directly to the wound.
One side effect of the heart meds I take is runny nose, in addition to life long sinus trouble. I really hate to blow a payload of gelatinous snot into my hand when a Kleenex disintegrates, and Burger King napkins hold up to such abuse. And they're FREE!! Statistically speaking I have to deal with an impending snot rocket a lot more often than I have to soak up a firkin of blood with Burger King (or Wendy's) napkins. Since I don't eat fast food any more* the only reason I go there is for the napkins.

* After surviving a fatal heart attack I had to make some lifestyle changes to avoid a replay. It's amazing what a motivator dying in agony can be to convince one to change one's ways.

Buy a 24' motorhome and tow your truck behind it.

I have all kinds of crap in my truck, but my commuter car only has a small space that can be hidden from folks that want to break windows and steal. Thus, I have my most comfortable running/walking shoes, a water filter, a N95 mask and an empty crushed flat gatoraid bottle in my Bug out pack. In the car in various pockets I also have flashlights, Leatherman, binocs, maps and knives I can toss in should I choose to. But the 4 things are the only thing in my pack.

I've got a box of Tactical Twinkies

True story: A bunch of us helped a friend move a while back. When we picked up his couch, someone saw a full unopened box of Hostess donuts, the chocolate covered kind. They grabbed the box and buddy laughed and noted that he had wondered where those had gone, as he'd lost them when he'd moved in 7 years back. We put the couch down, opened the box and all sat around on the couch eating the new find much to everyone's satisfaction.
