Greetings!

I am packing bags for our one week trip, and I am gathering the emergency tools/gadgets in it. Here, I am going to share the essential ones with you, but if I am missing anything, then you can share with me.

Vehicle Emergency Kit: Yes, I’ve added all necessary van repairing tools here to avoid any critical situation.

Emergency Road Flares: Yes, we have road flare, but this time, I am thinking to get a LED road flare from here. You can give your suggestion if you’ve used an LED one.

Lanterns: Honestly speaking, since childhood darkness is a weak point of me. Though we have BESTEK DC to AC Inverter that can work without proper power setup but I also include lanterns in emergency gadgets list.

576×576 137 KB

LifeStraw: It didn’t purchase it but planning to get one to avoid any water issue, I will get one for sure.

The other things that I keep with us are army knife, power stick portable charger, medical kit and much more.

Now, it’s your turn to add more gadgets or tools in my emergency kit. I am waiting for your suggestions.

That plastic shovel worries me, not sure it would work in hard ground. I would add a metal one.

Other than that, looking pretty good! I would put that flare thing on the back though, so it gets maximum exposure to approaching traffic.

Cheers!

If you get a life straw spend the extra $20 and get the metal one. Much more solid and reliable.

:joy: careful taking it on a plane. They will definitely pull it out and question you. It is very challenging to explain to security in Bangkok what it is when you can’t speak Thai!

I actually have two folding shovels in my car.

A light plastic/aluminum one that is perfect for shoveling sand and snow but would probably break if I hit something hard with it. Steel one works well on hard ground and breaking ice but sucks for moving soft sand and snow.

Yeah! Important to have folding shovels in all seasons especially in snowy one.
