Anyone keep a survival kit in their vehicles?

I don't keep a survival kit in my car due to the texas heat. I do usually bring a bag of stuff with me when I go places. Nothing crazy. Spare ammo, water, clothes, first aid kit, trauma kit, survival kit..........

Fraking thieves stol my kit outta my car. Several hundred dollars and years worth of effort.

Oh yeah that's the other reason I don't leave things in my car.

I never had much issues with heat and survival kits, be it Texas or Iraq, a Humvee or a Bradley. I do have travel bags with better gear I bring on set trips.

Hate thieves, and worst of all it was probably things they just threw away if they could not use it or sell it.

I don't know if Texas heat will cause any issues. It's just something I do in general. Prevention. I would hate to need my gear and find it defective.

I keep a box of band-aids, some zip ties, some fast food napkins and a cheap but sturdy pocket knife...

Um, I'm not responsible for you...I'm not a para-medic or an emt...

Do I sound harsh?

Yes, yes I do.

Would I help you in crisis?

Sure.

Am I 'obligated' to carry 'mucho gear' to save your ass?

No

I won't be 'guilt tripped' into carrying such gear....

If you 'citizen' are caught in a life threatening/life ending situation, I'm not your 'huckleberry', but If I can, I'll help, but carry an inventory of life saving equipment...nah..

Oh, I'm a monster for not holding this gear in my inventory...nope, just a regular guy...

No duct tape? You're gonna get kilt in da streeetz.....

Yes.
I have "survival gear" in my truck.
Most of it holds multiple rounds of ammunition.
The first aid kit is for folks like y'all.

Bah. I got my zip ties. I'll be fine. Duct tape gets all gooey in a car in the summer time.

I've covered many wounds and boo boos with duct tape and/or super glue when bandaids don't stick.

That just helps it stick better...

I have had some pretty serious wounds mysef that had to be bandaged on the spot. I have several 1st aid kits too. But what most often gets used,,,,electrical or duct tape and a dirty bandana or a piece of my shirt I cut off. Most of the people I know with first aid kits can tell you everything about it. Eccept how to use it effectively. And that is the most important part of it.

I’m an EMT/FF. I usually keep a bag equipped with wound care items and I still have my o2 bag as well from the squad days. Has a few MREs as well. It’s for me and my own unless a severe situation calls for rendering aid to others. I also keep a small kit in my range bag.

I plan on heading across the border to pickup some survival meds to have on hand as well.

I'm not sure you could pay me enough to cross that border unarmed these days...


Unless you mean you're going to Canada.

There’s no issue with progresso at all. Old people around here cross daily. As safe as anywhere else.
