summer car kit summer emergency must have supplies prepping vehicles emergencies
hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper today I wanted to share some tips with you for your summer
car kit you already have your survival gear your get home bag your first-aid
kit bug out bag and all the emergency supplies that you need in your car but this summer emergency car kit is an emergency DIY kit
that you're going to put together for a day out your little outings where you go
out with your family and you might need to save the day in a fun way we know
that we have the things we need in an emergency but there are things that crop
up on a day to day basis that are minor emergencies and if you have your summer
car kit you can avoid some of the disasters that can ruin a day of fun the
first thing you want for summer emergency car kit is some sort of a container a box or old pool bag something
that you could store things in in your cara and you're going to fill it up with the
things that you need into your emergency summer car kit make sure you have a
beach towel a swimsuit some flip-flops what if you arrived somewhere and
somebody invites you to swim or you're passing by and you see a lake or a cool
stream it's great to be able to dip in and enjoy those hot summer days we might be
out hiking or we have an ice cream and we make a mess or fall in and get wet so
also include a spare set of dry clothing then summer days means sunburns and
mosquitoes so make sure you pack sunscreen and some bug repellent you can
find mosquito repellent bracelet bands and those are all handy to just pass out
or use and have them as you need them I like to include an extra pair of
sunglasses from the Dollar Tree they're only a dollar and if mine sunglasses get lost or
broken I don't want my day to be ruined because I need my sunglasses so I have
some in my summer emergency must have supplies car kit there for emergencies then you want to make sure you have a supply of water
bottles that are in a size That's easy to hand out to your family and some easy
snacks that you can store in the car during hot weather I like little nut and
fruit packs little juice pouches granola bars even little packs of things like
tuna and crackers stay away from foods like chocolate because it melts
I also remember years ago I had at least three kids in the car and we had a big
old bag of gummy bears and when the kids got back in the car they pulled it out
and it had melted together into one 16 ounce gummy block and you just never
know your car gets hotter than you think the kids at least are good sports and
they tore it all apart and ate it up anyway but you always can be surprised
at what kind of things can happen to the snacks and food in your car so make
sure you're checking those frequently and try to avoid snacks that you know
are going to be a disaster when your car gets really hot I've included a little
pouch that I have extra cash and a copy of my ID
make sure you carry small bills so that you can get an ice cream bar you can
stop and get some fruit at a fruit stand and you just have cash whatever you need
even if you find that you need gas and you're far from home you have some extra
cash on hand and the identification and like your insurance information in case
you have some kind of a medical problem no car kit is complete unless you have
an extra roll of toilet paper and store it in a ziploc bag because
these things tend to get dropped and you don't want it to get muddy or wet so you
can then pull out what you need and the rest of it stays dry and clean have some
baby wipes for quick wipe up emergencies and a stash of little garbage bags then
you'll have a place to stash your trash or your wet things if you don't have a
first-aid kit in your car already that's a very important element to add to your
summer car kit think about the problems that could arise on your outings whether
it's you want to swim you got muddy you spilled your ice-cream cone you can
prevent mosquitoes and sunburn you can have food and drink and a container to
keep it all together put together a summer emergency cart kit for your family so that
you can save the day in a fun way and enjoy the times that you have together
