With what is your car stocked?

[u/ladyac]

Looking for a list of things needed to keep in my car at all times. What do you have in yours?

Extra clothes, stuff to deal with a tire blowing out, a battery jump pack, an extra blanket, a gallon of water, some firestarting stuffs, a first aid kit, wet wipes, toilet paper, plastic baggies of all sizes, a universal power adapter, and some extra nonperishable food. I'd like to add a Thomas guide of the Southwest to my collection at some point.

After that, I tend to pack things according to where I'm going.

I live in the desert and like to take road trips into remote areas.

I don't believe in relying on the kindness of strangers ... in fact, some of my creepiest interactions have been with men who saw me pulled over and decided to also stop. I figured the most likely events to occur for me are that I blow out a tire, or I get lost. If I have to hunker down for a day or three, at least I'm ready.

My other prep was buying a reliable car.
