just emergency kits for the cars. Doesn't include tools, they're separate. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa265/HumbleGuy_photo/CarGear.jpg I'll add an inventory later if any one is interested. |
| Yes. When i was putting all this together I realized we didnt have cables in the cars either. I have since realized they aren't the best quality, but will probably do in a pinch. May upgrade in the future, but I really don't like to buy things twice. Live and learn: sometimes its better to pay for quality. |
It looks like a kit for 5 cars if you look from top to bottom in rows starting at the jumper cables Maybe it is for different family members that will likely be in different locations |

Thanks all. Yes, 5 cars...me, the wife, 3 kids in college. First Aid Kit Various Bandaids/Gauze,Pain relievers, etc 1 tube Carmex 1 bottle Eye Drops 1 roll Rolaids 1 bottle Hand sanitizer 1 Toothbrush 1 tube Toothpaste 4 Tampax 1 pack Cleansing Wipes 3 ea Allergy Pills 1 tube Super Glue Main Compt 1 Tarp 1 Blanket 1 Pullover Hoody 1 Jumper cables 1 pair Socks 2 pair Cotton Gloves 1 Wool Hat 1 Metal Cup 2 bottles Water End Compt 1 First Aid Kit 1 Flashlight (wind-up) Several Vinyl (rubber) Gloves 1 can Bug Repellant 2 squares Aluminum Foil End Compt 1 roll Duct Tape 1 roll Elec Tape 1 MultiTool 2 Rain Ponchos 2 Light sticks Front Compt 1 roll Toilet Paper 2sm, 2 lrg Ziploc bags 2 Food Bars Little End Compt 1 sm bag Vaseline-cotton balls 2 Lighters Good idea on the leather gloves...although I was thinking more warmth than work. No snow shovels in TX. And i have zip ties in their tool boxes, but more in the bags is a good idea. Need to put in Emergency blankets, or better yet: Heet Sheets. probably could use a little cash, too....$40 in small bills should be good. And shoes....told them to put some old but good walking shoes in there but I bet that haven't done it. But the thing I'm most proud of.....I remembered the Tampax. In times of need you could be a hero with those. By the way, without the cables the bags weigh about 10 lbs (those tarps and the water add a lot of wieght). Recomendations or improvement would be appreciated. |

throw in some 550 cord, or at least some of th cheapy clothesline cordage. this stuff can prove invaluable from simply tying down the rug they bought for a dorm or apt. to the car roof to stringing up an improvised shelter, to a tourniquet, etc... also some 55gal contracts grade trashbags, or a couple square yards of 4 mil plastic, impromptu emergancy poncho, drybags for gear, temporary replacement of a carwindow if broken, etc... |

i scanned your inventory and did not see: Anti-diarrheal medicine. 550 cord fixed blade knife heavy duty trash bag small bottle of water purifying tablets compass bandannas ( sling, ascot etc ) Head lamp ( LED) (so you can work on the car with light hands free) Oh yeah and it looks like the leg on your ottoman is crooked.Can you fix that it's buggin' me.
