Make a Glove Box Emergency Kit Car Emergency Supplies Essential Survival Tools emergency survival kit
hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper we spend a lot of time in our vehicles cars trucks jeep traveling to and
from work going to and from the store even traveling on adventures in the out
of doors in all times of year all kinds of weather we go camping skiing snowmobiling all kinds of
things hiking fishing you just never know where your vehicle will end up
taking you how to stay safe prepping so the chances of you being stranded at some time in your car are
pretty great you may have a breakdown you may be involved in an accident you
may get caught in a winter storm you may have a traffic jam where someone else
has had an accident even a flat tire can leave you stranded for a little while
one of the things I decided to do was make a small emergency kit that can fit
right in the glove box of my car I started with the Life Bivy from Go Time Gear
gotimegear.com which is a very large survival type bivvy shelter sleeping bag for an emergency situation
Life Bivy emergency sleeping bag is over 7 feet tall it's 6 feet around it can shield you from all kinds of wet
windy weather and also you can climb inside and the reflective side of the Life Bivy reflects back 90 percent of your body
heat and helps keep you warm in an emergency situation this doesn't have to
be a shelter you just use outside if you were stranded in your car you could
crawl inside the Life Bivy bivvy bag it'll reflect 90 percent of your body
heat and help keep you warm and in an emergency situation then because the
Life Bivy comes in a nice little drawstring pouch there's actually room
in here to include more emergency survival items it has some paracord with a barrel clasp
attached to the Life Bivy drawstring sack is an emergency whistle of 120
decibel 100 decibels can be heard nearly a mile and a half so if you needed to
call for help you could certainly blow your whistle so you could be heard
there's actually room in here to include more items I was able to add several
other tools items that I would want in an emergency situation the first item I
included is a multi-tool a multi-tool is better than a knife because it has all
kinds of little gadgets on it that can help you perform all kinds of tasks it
may not even be larger than a knife but it's certainly more versatile the next
item I included was a flashlight my new favorite flashlight is USB rechargeable
it has a little gadget on the end you can plug it into a USB outlet including
one that might come built in your car or you can use a car charger it has a
bright a low light and a flasher that if you needed to signal for help the
flasher could help you do that you may want to start a fire so I put in a
cotton ball doused with Vaseline and a lighter I also included a votive candle
that I could light and set on the dashboard which would give me a little
bit of light and a tiny bit of warmth in a cold enclosed vehicle make sure you
carry a written list of your emergency contacts lots of places we travel cell
phone service is not available and having a paper copy of your emergency
contacts and your most important information can be vital all of these
items fit right inside the little pouch that comes with the Life Bivy you can
see you can load the emergency tools supplies right in the Life Bivy pouch and there's even still room if you
wanted to add a few other little things maybe a granola bar maybe a hand warmer
there are lots of things you could still decide would be most important to you
your little car glove box emergency survival kit don't take chances with your safety make
an emergency kit for your car that's small enough to fit in your glove box stocking disaster survival supplies
it's a good idea to have a Life Bivy for everyone in your family so that each of
you can shelter in your car in an emergency situation
