My car travel kit includes:

- Trail bars, raisins and some of last seasons small Halloween candy bars.

- Two dehydrated meals of choice and 8 bottles of water.

- Flint/steel fire starter and a windproof lighter and a baggie of dryer lint.

- An emergency tube tent, 2 large plastic trash bags and a couple of large space blankets.

- Two pair of gloves, stocking cap, a fleece jacket and 2 pairs of wool socks.

- A compass, flashlight and fishing kit with small baits brings up the rear. Spare batteries and led light, cell phone and spare batteries.

- 50' of parachute chord, whistle and signal mirror are welcome to my survival kit.

- A small frame, large caliber pistol and 2 spare mags is the handgun choice for confrontations but mainly for fighting my way to a AR15 rifle. A Glock 36 and AR 15 provide the firepower.

- Another must is to keep my truck fueled up and ready to get out in the event it becomes necessary.

- A few army surplus blankets and weather radio.

Time constraints dictate your ability to load up with can goods, extra ammo and clothing in a pinch. The more prepared in advance, the easier it is to add a few extras as you head out. Rx
meds, first aid kit and a good pair of binoculars are invaluable.

Hope we never need it.
