12 Things You Need In Your Vehicle Emergency Kit(1)

Many people already prepared with these essentials, but it never hurts to share this information with those you care about. I am sure we all people we know and love that hardly even carry a jack with them.

Instead of getting into a huge article on all the things you could potentially need in an emergency situation, we’ve decided to come up with a simple, basic list that creates the foundation of your Vehicle Emergency Kit.

We’ll definitely be expanding on this list and topic in the future, but it’s time that you at least get this stuff in your vehicle!

Jumper Cables

One of the best things you can carry with you is a good set of Jumper Cables, this isn’t a time to get cheap, and like your grandfather always said “Buy cheap, buy twice.”

There’s plenty of cheap “made in china” cables out there, so be cautious. We recommend getting cables with multiple strand four gauge copper wire.

Flashlight

Having a flashlight with you should fall under the EDC (Every Day Carry) category for most of you, but it never hurts to have an extra in your vehicle.

There are many different kinds of flashlights out there, but essentially two types of light. Incandescent and LED.

Jack / Tire Iron

Hopefully the Jack and Tire Iron that came with your vehicle are still in it. If not, it’s time to take care of that problem.

For those who could possibly be unfamiliar with a Jack and Tire Iron, a Jack is what lifts the vehicle to change a tire, and a Tire Iron is what you use to remove the bolts that hold your wheel on.
