work paid - get home bag

[longbow]

The fleet manager asked me and few others what we should have in each vehicle to get us home in a crisis.

That sounds like a get home bag to me. He wants a small tool kit, water, flares and reflector from a safety standpoint.

What other things can we tell him to add to it. Each company car will have the items in a roller duffle bag or back pack with the company logo. We have 40 cars in the fleet and we will order about 100 kits to give to the employees who don't have cars.

Most of us already have guns in the trunk so that is covered already.

The shopping list is wide open, our company is well known for getting real good stuff. Also purchasing 100 items will get us a better price.

fire away and I'll see what I can get him to order.

Well, for the worst case scenario where it might take more than a day just to travel home you might try one of these **Survival Kit, Executive 72 hr.<br><i>w/ Solar Radio Upgrade Nitro-Pak.com The World Leader in Innovative & Affordable Preparedness Gear I have one of these in each of my cars at home. Could be on the "high" end of what you are looking for, but who knows...

Nick kits, I may get one myself. I am going to look around on the site more too see what else is offered.

Are there any other sites selling kits like this that would be recommended? I have three pretty good first aid kits and the knives, flashlights and such so I may piece one together.

New to this so be gentle!

I would just make your own. Way cheaper. You could probably order everything off of one web site.

Some things I did not see included, that I always have.

Paracord
Compass
OTC meds, benadryl, Caffeine, Sudaphed, Nsaid's etc.
Duct Tape
Katadyn micropure tabs.
Maps
Good Gloves
Extra Cell Phone Batteries.

Please check out "Emergency Essentials" at BePrepared.com or call 1-800-999-1863.

They, too, have great kits and additional items to personalize your kit. You can also get a catalog sent to your home/office (if that's allowed).
They also have lot's of instructional links and "bug out list" forms which will help one coordinate.

There are other sites also, but this is the best and most affordable that I have found.
Good luck!
