Supplements for a good Car Kit

I think the objects the site listed to have in your car are great and are all included in my own car survival kit along with a few other things I'd like to share.

1) A "stick oven" mine is made from an old coffee can I cut the top out of, then filled the bottom 4 inches with sand and reattached the top metal part to the new bottom for insulation, you can use little things like twigs and broken branches to keep your car warm for hours with little effort or need of some heavy item like a saw or an axe.

2) Everyone has heard of the flashlights that never need batteries, the ones you just wind up for a minute and then have light for twenty, well there is another version that also includes a weather radio and a cell phone charger, all without ever having to worry about changing batteries. Along with it I keep an adapter along with a prepaid cell phone that I know fits the flashlight/charger so in a worst case scenario I can keep up to date on the weather and call for help if I need it.

3)Teabags, they take up close to no space and can be stored for a VERY long time along with your other equipment. A little thing like tea can help take your mind off the situation and calm nerves.

Thats it I hope this all helps you folks out!
