News you can use

Car survival kits can save your life. I have a get home bag in mine but I’m lacking food and water in it.

    I’m partial to Granola Bars and Beef Jerky in my bag, you just gotta watch the Expiration dates and rotate them. But you don’t get the melted Chocolate Candy Bar Clean Up Detail that way.

    As for Water, I’d go 2 ways. First, some sort of Canteens and/or Water Bottles on the bag itself. Use 2, just in case one leaks. For the Car itself, I’d get a Milk Crate and put in some of that Store Bought Distilled Gallon Jugs in it. But they have Expiration Dates also. Also, if you have to leave them in the Car overnight when it goes below Freezing, you have to dump some so the Ice doesn’t split the Containers. Hope this helps.

    Just pick up a sealed bag of trail mix (or two, if they are small) and a bottle of water. I have these in my bag, and I end up using (and rotating) them all the time.

    Recommend a heavier-duty plastic bottle because it will last better if you end up refilling it a bunch of times.

    Metal canteen will help you if you ever need to use water purification tablets.

    At a minimum, you should throw water purification tablets in the glove box. A little bottle of those can save your ass. You can go weeks without food, but water is tough, and you have to knowledgeable and lucky to find potable water in most of the United States.

    Food’s not as important – you’ll run out of water and be incapacitated long before you starve, even when strenuously active.

    A few snacks, sure – but definitely water.

    I have two 64 oz of Gatorade and some cliff bars, in mine. I try to rotate them every year or so. When i rotate them, I eat and drink them to see how the taste. They don’t kill you or cause any major issues.

    We are talking OK heat and cold (in the interior of a car that is probably close to a 100 degree swing some years.) They hold up decent enough, though if you go two years without rotating them, the bars are hard to eat and the Gatorade tastes funny.

    Anything that you can’t eat could be used to bait snares or for fishing. Of all the traps I have seen Les and Bear set, it has a very low success rate, fyi.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
