I decide to pull the ol' emergency kit out of the truck today and poke through it looking for anything I need to update, upgrade, replace, add or remove. I have the basics; tow rope, flares, work gloves, a first aid kit, tarp, lighters, fire steel, a spare knife and some warm clothes. There's also two wool blankets that have permanent residence in the back seat.
There's a can of fix-a-flat which now that I'm looking at it, may have expired in 08.... yep, I bought this last time we were in Canada. Remember to always check your expiration dates people! (The flares don't expire until 2015 for those of you who are now wondering.)
Last but not least there's a gallon of water, 3600c Datrex and a siphon pump.
What odds and ends do you put in your car kits that you don't have in your other kits? Items you think you may have use for, items you have had use for, boring mundane stuff that could change a bad trip into a good one?
