Loved opening with the Scripture! As a matter of fact, as soon as youbsaid you were going to open with a Scripture, i subscibed before you even started. Just outstanding sir. And your take on a vehicle kit was spot on in my opinion. Thanks! I hope to see much more of your stuff going forward!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! And yeah keeping the Lord first and spreading the gospel is the main goal while reaching men about being masculine still in today’s world! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! And lots more in the future coming. I got some good stuff planned and in the works!
I used to keep a tote full of stuff but I’ve since then cut back and it’s in a backpack. If I haven’t used it in 5+ years I didn’t need it. Prepare for the common stuff. Dead battery, flat tires, you hit something and have to wait for help. I’ve seen so many “camping” survival kits over the years and 90% of us don’t need to start a fire and pitch a tent. Wear clothes to survive the current environment for an hour outside of the vehicle. I recommend everyone have a spare backpack to haul your extra in car items or for the passenger to carry. Jumper cables, fix a flat, gorilla tape, tow strap, flashlight, headlamp, phone charger, jumper pack, water are my must haves. Buy the best stuff you can afford, know how it works, and keep battery’s rotated.
Definitely good points, my stuff gets switched out based on the time of year. And what’s happening. So there definitely are some more large items in there, but I’ve used them all. Lots of the stuff I’ve used in bigger trips as back ups when something rips or breaks. But I do agree most of the stuff isn’t really useful for common road mishaps. Thank you for the comment!!
That’s how I do it. I keep a small backpack with a full change of clothes that I use regularly- has “emergency” golf clothes to look nice and warmer work stuff too and a beach towel and blanket. I drive an X5 and it has a bunch of great hidden compartments. I keep a bunch of stuff tucked hidden away:small tool kit, first aid kit, jump pack, hatchet, pry bar, tire stuff, inflator, edc stuff, military shovel, straps, spot light, a few smart waters and jerky,, reflective blankets, reflective vest, flares, etc. In my truck I keep all the above and have a tool bo- in the back with some Milwaukee tools, kinetic straps, winch stuff, more tools, bigger shovel, bolt cutters etc. The bmw isn’t setup for getting stuck in the woods- i would take the truck to the woods. The bmw is typically just for commuting and around town. My goal for it is ti help with car crash, and get home from any place around my city area-SF. If there was an earthquake, I wo ant to be able to break into most stuff and shut off the gas, in case of collapse. The truck is used for going ti cabin and has more issues and I’d do towing etc with it.
@@MB12116 That makes sense! Yeah having the set up be relevant to where you go and what your drive is important. That’s why I don’t have tow straps since I can’t tow with my car. But when I used to have a truck I definitely had them with me. It’s definitely good to make your gear purpose driven. Thank you for the comment!
@@TheWarriorsGarden_ agreed. My x5 can tow, but given I have an f 350 I would likely never tow with it. However, I do keep like two ratchet straps for and a tow strap for rare situations. They take up no room and are handy. I also drive the x5 more often as it’s a hybrid and gets much better mileage age and is easier to park then a f 350 crew cab long bed lol. But I keep a lot of stuff in each vehicle and group it into four categories for my SUV 1) daily used items and consumables (sunglasses, phone charger, waters, gum, snacks, hand sanitizer, advil, tissues, jackets/sweaters/hats etc) 2) regularly used gear (flashlight, multi tool, etc) 3) common emergency stuff that is handy but rarely used (first aid kit, jump pack, tire stuff, small tool kit, tow strap, ratchet strap, folding saw, e tool, hatchet, fire extinguisher, pry bar, fire starters etc) 4) nice to haves that are convenient (towels, change of clothes, snacks, etc) Also, I go through a lot of bottled water and beef jerky and protein bars (I like the outdoors), I always keep one full case of each thing packaged in the vehicle. When I run out of the item in my pantry, I go to the store and buy a new case and place it in my vehicle and consume the one that had been in my vehicle for maybe a month at most. Works really well to keep food fresh and be prepared. My philosophy to prepping is to be prepared to get through day to day stuff with comfort and ease, and accommodate what I’m not expecting. In a rare emergency situation I like to be able to survive and be better off than the other people around me. I also like to be able to assist in helping others with small stuff and in emergencies and troubleshoot minor problems. I have a lot of stuff at both my house and cabin so if I can get to either place in my vehicle I know I will be fine (I always keep above a 1/2 tank of gas). With the truck, I like to be able to do everything my suv does, in addition to fixing most things that are not very specialized, get out of any problem, and be prepared for just about everything. Most of the year I keep all my stuff in a weather guard cross bed toolbox and the back seat. For certain trips, I have a cover that I will put over the bed which is handy. But I need my truck to hold cargo, that’s why I bought it so I don’t like too much stuff-just enough. I figure that for most things I will know what I need ahead of time-ie if I’m going in the woods camping I will pack for that, or if I’m surfing I will pack for that. My dad’s philosophy is you don’t think you will need it and a credit card can get you it at a store don’t bring it. I don’t totally agree, bc I think that leads to less than ideal situations with improvising, wasted time, and waste, I think it is true for a lot of stuff. Granted this is coming from someone who works in finance in a big city and most friends only think of me as a guy that drives an x5, keeps it clean, and is generally prepared with his work and proactive, but not as an Uber outdoorsy prepped- I like it that way.
@@MB12116 yeah having a layered system is important I think. And like you said too, planning ahead is big. I don’t always have all that stuff in my car. It does change based on weather and other factors. I have most of it but it is specific to the use of the car. That is good though. I agree with helping others. So many people are unprepared to help even themselves. Let alone others.
Just found your channel with this video and loved the beginning with the scripture reading then saw a comment from a fellow Yooper; I think it's a sign!
@@k87upkid must be haha! And I actually just moved from the U.P for the Army. But I spent the last 4 years up there. It’s a wonderful place! I’m glad you found the page!
I'm definitely glad you said something about jumper cables. I think every single vehicle on the road should have a set. Even if you don't need it for yours there will undoubtedly come a time when someone else needs a jump.
I used to carry jumper cables but for the last 4 or 5 years I've been carrying battery pack jumpers in each vehicle. They're much smaller, lighter and take up significantly less room than cables and they can be used as chargers for phones, etc. I just bring them in the house overnight every six months, give or take, and top off the charge. I got ones that have enough juice to jumpstart most of the larger deisel pickups on the market just in case someone with one of those needs a jump. I've needed them twice in the time I've had them and they're so much more convenient than bulky tangled cables.
Good advice about the full size shovel!! I've had to dig my car out with an ice scraper a few times and that is not very fun - a shovel would have worked much better!
Good tip with the toilet paper! I'll be adding that to my car. You can pull the cardboard tube out of the center and then store it flat in a ziploc bag. For the seat belt cutter, I strongly suggest mounting it to your car somehow. I usually cut two tiny holes in the side of my center console that are just big enough to get a zip tie through. That's an item you'll probably only need in the event of an accident, and loose objects get thrown all over the place in an accident. Make sure that device is exactly where you expect it to be during an emergency.
Good thought! I’ll have to do that with the Toilet paper. And that’s smart for the seat belt cutter. I have mine on a Velcro patch. But I do like the zip tie idea. That’s a little more secure
You never know when your going to realize you've got a tire that's nearly flat or you go to change a flat and realize your spare is flat also. I bought a couple of inexpensive 12V air pumps that plug into the cigarette lighter port for each vehicle to air up my tires. They're not the best or fastest pumps on the market but they're light, easy to use and are smaller than a shoebox. I also keep a tire patch kit in each vehicle to fix a flat tire so I don't have to put the spare on.
What no 100mph tape? I hunted in Montana with guys that would tease me about my old LBE preparedness kit until we were caught in a blizzard, and it snowed 2 feet in three hours. GPS was useless. We were lost. that kit, compass and map kept us alive, relatively warm and made navigation to the highway for help in the morning possible. I even had coffee, which was not up to share:) One of them couldn't get his truck out until spring because it was 2 wheel drive. MRE is awesome when it's cold, dark and things aren't going as planned. I did share that.
That’s awesome that you were able to put it to use! I’m sure in the moment that wasn’t fun. But it definitely shows the importance of being prepared! You never know when or how!
Lift your hatch cover and see how much space there is above the spare and on the sides of it. 3 inches above spare and huge spots to put most of that stuff all safely tucked out of sight.
Wonderful idea! I keep my jumper cables under there and then I keep the jack and tire iron under there. I probably could keep some other stuff under there. Thank you for the comment!
As far as I understand they can’t be frozen after use. Because the water that’s left in the filter will expand when frozen and render the filter useless. However if they haven’t been used I believe they are ok to be in freezing temps. I may be incorrect but that is my understanding.
I do keep an aluminum water bottle in my car. That would be used to boil the water for the mountain house meal if needed.
