Tips while creating your kit

While you are creating your roadside kit, you need to keep in mind there is not always a one-size-fits-all kit. Some factors you need to take into consideration while creating your kit are your local weather, whether or not you need extra items for kids or pets, and the age of your vehicle. You will also need to find a good way to contain everything in one space. Some ways include a backpack, box or duffle bag. You will want to keep this bag easily accessible in an emergency situation.

Basic items to keep inside your kit include:

Flares
Jumper cables
Tool kit with pliers, pocketknife, screwdrivers, and pliers
Bottled water
Paper towels
A quart of motor oil
Gallon of coolant
Spray bottle with washer fluid
First-aid kit with gauze, bandages, aspirin, a blanket, non-latex gloves and antibiotic ointment
Flashlight with extra batteries
Phone charger
Pen and paper
Rain poncho
