Flashlight

One of the most important things you can keep in your car is a flashlight. If your car breaks down or becomes otherwise inoperable at night or when visibility is poor, you should have a flashlight. Keep a battery-powered flashlight with you and extra batteries (checked monthly) or a crank-powered flashlight.

Road Flares

Emergency Vehicles are most likely to find you if you have a road flare. If you can’t get road flares, collapsible high-visibility street markers may be of use. In much the same vein, you should keep a few high-visibility vests with you in case you do need to get out of your car at nighttime.

Protein-Rich Snack Food

Want an excuse to store some delicious snacks in your car? In an emergency, you will be glad you did. Just make sure you store non-perishable foods like dried fruits, nuts, jerky, and other nutrient-dense snacks. Rotate these out of your vehicle every month or two so they stay fresh. These may be lifesavers if you get stranded somewhere and need energy to get to safety.
