I'm guessing that would be the other 5% of the time...that's how math works.

11. Their music.

12. Themselves, even if that other guy really was driving like a dick.

First aid kit/CPR mask/first aid book all in its own separate red tote filled with other emergency items like wound wash and bandages

I keep a bigger tote that’s for a jug of water/ box of nabs/ hoodie/sweatpants/sleeping bag/flashlight/ jumper cables/ a small axe

USB cable/battery bank goes with me wherever I go anyway so I always have that on me as well
And the gun in the glove compartment

List is shite without an emergency roll of TP.

No matter what life throws at you, it will always be worse without TP.

2. Fire extinguisher



I had a car catch fire once that would have been prevented with one of these.

I was driving on a small, rural highway with no shoulder and tall grass in a dry August. Car obviously has something wrong- felt like a fuel filter that needed to be changed.
I pulled over, the car caught the grass on fire, and it wouldn’t start to move it (though the only place to move it would’ve been onto the highway or more grass) and my leg wasn’t long enough to try to stamp out the little fire that started. So I watched it burn and explode before the fire department could get there.




Sorry, Dad.
