THE SOURCE CAR TIPS WHAT I CARRY IN MY CAR....
First of all , safety and protection should always be your concern regarding anything.and after serving 20 years plus in the Armed services , I learned to be ready and prepared , because , life has taught me you never know.. ??
WHAT I CARRY AND WHY?
1) BATTERY CHARGER AIR/ COMPRESSOR.. why? Because if and when a car battery goes out , I want to rely on myself to charger up my battery ,then relying on a tow truck operator or heaven for bid a stranger with not so safe booster cables.. especially in cold areas,, waiting around might not be a great option..
2) A knife / scissors . or a knife, glass breaker tool - You can buy these at military exchanges or walmart or sporting goods.. stores. Why? because in case your in accident ad your stuck ,, you can cut the seat belts and break the car windows to escape.. like i said,, waiting around for someone to help you , might not be an option, and burning to death , or drowning doesn't sound like something I want to do , so anything that can help you escape is a good thing.. Just something to think about..
3) First Aid kit.. why? Once again, you never know , when you might need a band aid or what ,, they sell first aid kits at walmart or better yet a emergency kit that have items like flares, markers etc in case your car is disabled.. Just something to have.. in case of.. I know it seems like a lot to keep in aCar, but don't most of us spend alot of our times in a car, driving to and from work, sitting , sleeping in our cars before or after work.. In other words , why don't you have all these items in your car ,, I like to be prepared .. Just me.. and I'm hoping you all do the same.. You don't have to but everything at once.. I did it one pay day at a time.. and before you know it.. You have your stuff in your car.. As for me,, I had to do it for three cars,,so do the math or the time.. I want my family to ready for anything and everything should it happen.
4) I also carry a backpack full of crackers , biscuits like Velveeta, and spare water.. Why? I always get hungry or thirsty when i go on a drive,, and having those items can save you from hunger or thirst pains,,, Even though I have a beautiful car with leather seats,,I allow anyone and everyone a chance to eat in my car.. and anyone that doesn't allow that. I wont ride with you.. Just saying..
Oh I also carry flashlights , and spare sweater or hoodie , in case it gets cold.. I live in SOCAL ,, but the weather can change .. and I want to be prepared.. I know it seems like over kill having all these items.. in your car /trunk.. but its the way I roll.. Because I like to depend on someone I can trust ,, Myself.. is the best answer especially if your on a lonely road ,or highway.. I rather try to help myself than others..
5) I thinking about keeping a toolbag with screwdrivers and wrenches ,, just in case ,, you need to make repairs or what on the road.. its a thought. I havent doen it yet.. but Like said... Its great to be prepared,,
6) lastly always carry hour car registration and insurance cards, with contact info.. Its required in CA , if a law man pulls you over,, keep them updated and in your glove compartment for easy access.I keep mine in a registration holder , or a envelope will do too.. Oh I also keep spare health bars in there or batteries for my flash lights..
I hope this is helpful,, and if anything I made you aware of things that can or will happen on the road.. oh by the way. Its better to be safe than sorry.. and above all be safe , and drive safe,, Drive defensively and be alert ,, I hate people that are texting or talking on the phone,, and cant decide to turn or make a turn.. But that's me.. I like to drive fast and I 'm always alert when driving. texting and talking is something I don't like to do especially in the city,, too many things to look out for..red light drivers , lane changers or emergency vehicles.. Have a great year and create your own safe haven in your car.. and develop what you need in your car? For me.. I'm a Independent ,self - reliant person that likes to help myself,, first,, before turning to help..
