Before you head out on your summer road trips and camping
expeditions, here are a few things you ought to consider keeping in the trunk:
Extra coolant! You might not always be able to make it to a gas station, and if your car overheats this could be a big problem.
Keep a quart or two of oil on hand.
GPS – any kind, whatever you prefer to use, just be sure you
have it on long trips.
Keep a roll of duct tape in the back as well. It’s great for temporarily
repairing, say, a leaky hose – or quieting the backseat driver in your life.
Get a REAL spare tire, not one of those dinky things that come
with your car. Would you want to be stuck on a doughnut while driving through
unpopulated terrain? We think not. They’re usually only recommended for about
50 miles of driving, anyway.
The Uh Oh Kit – a screw driver, a couple flairs, pliers, vise
grips, and a coat hanger just in case.
A jack…that you know how to use. Before you travel, take it out
and try it a couple times to get comfortable with it, that way you’re not
sitting on your hands when you get into a pinch.
Jumper cables. This is obvious, literally everyone should keep
these in their car.
Cell phone! Cell phone! Cell phone! Payphones are a thing of the
past, and if you get stranded in the middle of nowhere a cell phone could
literally save your life.
A
first aid kit. Always keep a first aid kit in the car.
