So I was reorganizing my stuff the other night, and had some family stop by while I was in the middle of it. They saw my breakdown kit and looked at me like I was nuts. I've carried some form of extra stuff with me since I started driving. I got a chuckle because I'm the one they call when their butts are in a sling, but I digress..
Besides the obvious spare tire, jack, and tire iron that came with the vehicle, I have a 25 gal. tub that lives in my trunk. Inside the tub are:
Blankets, head cover, food, water, several types of gloves, hand warmer packs, a tyvek suit (no reason to dirty my nice clothes), duct tape, a full metric socket set, multiple screwdrivers, box cutter knife...Jumper cables, spare fuses & bulbs, 5lb short sledge, propane torch, short pry bar multiple flashlights chargeable by cell cord, and a cold steel kukri machete.
I continue to add things as I come across stuff I think might come in handy some day. Basically whatever I can think of to stay mobile and avoid the need for a tow truck.
This is strictly automotive, middle of nowhere, roadside repair stuff in addition to my normal edc and medical stuff. So what sort of breakdown kit do you guys have? Anything I should add? Well, there's always stuff to add. Whaddya think?
