Blanket

You may not need the blanket to stay warm, but you can use a reflective emergency blanket for shade. If you don’t have a reflective blanket, the blanket from your winter car survival kit will work to shade you from the blistering sun.

A Small Tool kit

It would be nice to have every automotive tool on hand in case of a breakdown, however, this is not realistic. Even so, you should always carry a small toolkit in your car that includes an adjustable wrench, duct tape, a couple of screwdrivers, a utility knife and pliers. In many cases, a simple fix may be all you need to get you back on the road.

First Aid Kit

A first aid kit should be part of every car emergency kit. Include some ointment, gauze, bandages, adhesive tape and tweezers. For those with life-threatening allergies, include an EpiPen.
