Roadside Emergency Kit

Imagine that you are taking a road trip with your family, and you have decided to “bite the bullet” and drive late into the night hoping to get to your destination as soon as possible. You’ve been driving 80 miles per hour for 15 hours straight when suddenly the power starts to waver and suddenly the car stops dead in the middle of I-95 in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, the actual problem with the vehicle could be anything and could take days of tedious work in order to uncover, the one thing to do is find a way out of the situation and that requires that you have a Roadside Emergency Kit.

The first thing to know about a roadside emergency kit is that it will never work for all situations, so you need to constantly be prepared and keep it stocked for the different places you are traveling to. Furthermore you should check the supplies often, because if the 2 liter bottle of water leaks all over everything, or the flashlight batteries are dead there is really no point to having the kit with you. So in keeping in mind that the kit is supposed to help you in any situation you find yourself in you should make a check list in your mind about it. First, will you be able to find help if something happens, do you have a cell phone with an extra battery or remote charger in case the batter dies while you are on the road. Second, will you be able to keep your own vehicle and yourself safe from other motorists on the road if you are stopped in a place with heavy (or light) traffic. And finally will the kit be able to help you get past any of the small challenges that might present themselves to you.

So here are the basic things you should keep with you. The cell phone should be the number one thing to keep with you because even if all else fails you can call for help, moreover you can do something as simple as call AAA to get the car towed or call the police in the case of an accident. Then there is the first-aid kit, dealing with small cuts and burns can be common if you try to mess with the engine of the car yourself when you break down. Then there is the fire extinguisher, which can save you time, money, and even save your life. Car fires typically start small but because nobody ever has something to put them out with they quickly spread to the oil and gas in the car, a simple fire extinguisher could save you from the expensive replacement of the entire vehicle. Next you need anything you think could keep your car visible to other motorists should it break down. And finally are all of the tools that you know how to use when the car breaks down, a jack and lug wrench, tire gauge/ air pump, tire sealant etc… So long as you keep the vehicle well stocked and keep the checklist in mind you should find yourself prepared for all situations.
