Well Designed Auto Emergency Kits

By Eric Holm


Every vehicle should have auto emergency kits in it. An emergency can happen at any time. It can cause a person to be stranded for a long time especially if they do not have a kit to help them get out of the situation.

Blankets, first aid kit, food and water should be included in your kit. Energy bars and granola bars are good things to have. Tools that may be needed for repairs are important also. The first aid kit can have adhesive tape, bandages or gauze. It should also have hot and cold packs, pain relievers, scissors and an antibiotic cream.

Emergency flare, flashlights with extra batteries, paper and pens are good things to include in your kit. The necessary equipment to change a tire is also important. Vehicle jacks, spare tire, lug wrench and a tire pressure gauge is needed. A tire pump or a can of air may also be important. You may be able to inflate a tire to get it to the nearest service station for repair. You may also want to include the can of air that has a sealant in it that can repair small holes.

Tires are not the only reason why you could be left sitting along side of the road. This is why other tools may be needed also. Screwdrivers, pliers, vise grips and adjustable wrench and a multipurpose tool can also be needed. Antifreeze, oil, windshield washer fluid, paper towels and duct tape could also be important. In the winter months, you may also want to have a snow brush and an ice scraper. Not every part of the world will need these though. The items that you will need will depend on the climate where you live.

Because we live in an economy that is fast-paced, a lot of people travel. Some people may have a long drive to work or maybe you just want to take a drive. Either way it is good to be prepared. Emergency kits may eliminate some of the time that you will be stranded. It is important that you are prepared for this situation. You also need to know how to use the things in your kit.
