Travel Emergency Kit

You may keep track of essential things with you car like checking tire pressure and the oil level. But how about having survival items on hand if you are stranded on the road due to a break down or some other emergency? Would you have any water or food on you while waiting for help to come along or if you must abandon your car?

You should at the least have water and you can carry a lot in your car, you can never have too much. If you have a family of four traveling and you break down in a remote area you should have enough to get you bay for at least a couple days till help shows up. You can not get by without water so make this a priority.

Food should be the next item on your list. You can get by for a while without eating, unlike water. But you should carry something in your car. If you want to leave some food in your car at all times check into those food bars that can take extreme temperatures and have a long shelve life. Other wise you can just remember to bring some food with you when you go on a road trip.

A first aid kit would be an essential item to have. You never know when someone may get a cut or abrasion that needs some care. You can buy yourself a ready made first aid kit or put one together yourself. If you do it yourself you can customize it to you or your families needs.

Other items you want to carry can depend on the time of year such as summer for umbrellas or rain gear or blankets and sleeping bags for winter. Flashlights are necessary and maybe a small tool kit for minor repairs. Make sure you have good batteries for the flashlight.

You can keep everything together in a box so you do not have to dig around for anything. If you have a backpack in the car, you can transfer any essential items you would want into it if you have to abandon your vehicle.
