very cool guys. thanks for sharing. hopefully others will chime in or will use our cache as a good example of what to have.

First aid kit, tire gauge, air compressor, travel pillows, Triple AAA card.

Just some jumper cables, flashlight, and a tire gauge. When I go outta town I tend to bring my ratchet and socket set just in case. Need to invest in an air compressor.

Thinking of something along these lines...

you really dont keep anything in your car?

What emergency supplies do you keep in your Rogue? While it doesn't get Arctic cold here in Delaware, I've often wondered about how the Rogue would fair as an emergency shelter. Sounds like I need to check http://www.rei.com/

I keep a lighter, ~4k in calories(nature valley bars, dried apricots), a rock hammer under neath my seat(never know when you may see a rock outcrop, annihilate any ice in your way, or break your windows), a heavy moving blanket, some fleece blankets, headlamp, mechanics gloves, and a leatherman ALWAYS on me, empty water bottle, contractor bag, electrical tape, first aid kit, and flares. In the winter I usually always have a go bag filled with ski boots, snowboard boots, snow jacket and pants, winter gloves, extra layers, helmet, and goggles, beacon probe, and shovel. If the worse comes to worse then i usually have a backcountry pair of skis on my roof rack along with 3 other pairs of additional skis so I have the capability of skinning out for 12 miles or so in a day. I dont venture out from the road system in my Rogue and our roads are very well maintained so there isnt much to worry about. This may seam a lot but I just leave that stuff in my car for when I teach skiing or snowboarding all winter long.
If youre going to keep a bag in your car then I would suggest getting a synthetic bag instead of a down bag. Synthetic does much better being stored for a longer period of time and its cheaper. If you wanna go on the cheap side then you can always combine 2 summer or fall bags to make a winter bag.

HERE IS EVERYTHING I HAVE IN MY CAR EVERY DAY:

i carry this with me every day:

Crazy, right! Given that I was a Boy Scout and should always Be Prepared, the only things I keep in my vehicles are jumper cables and a screw driver. I used to keep a Buck knife in the glove box, but it just began to rust from neglect.

I gave up having a life ages ago, so don't drive nearly as much as I used to. I live in a quiet rural area, 15 miles from my job. My longest drive is to my Dad's home in MD, which is 90 minutes away. Funny that when I bought AMERICAN brand cars, I had constant problems (got my first cell phone because of car emergencies). Now that I buy products from the land of the rising sun, I don't worry.

All I have in my car currently is one of these http://www.walmart.com/ip/Justin-Case-T ... t/19526665, a big LED flashlight and obviously my emergency lights (which I am going to add onto very soon). However, I want to be more prepared and I am going to copy many of the things you've got in those 2 vids!

OMG thats so true and funny at the same time. i dont carry tools in my car. no really, aside from a multi-tool and 1 screw driver, i dont carry anything! i dont need too. i have never in 10+years needed tools while owning a Nissan/Infiniti product. that is, aside from a tire hole plugger kit. (now the various fords i have been forced to drive for work, is a different story - but i wasnt tooling around while in uniform - im so meticulous with maintaining a pristine and high-speed uniform, that the slightest stain or wrinkle- and I GET PISSED!, let alone grease from working on a car lolol)

i carry more of the survival stuff. between my Large duty bag B.O.B.(bug out bag) and my small tactical shoulder bag E.D.C.(every day carry):
food, water, sugary snacks, heat, first aid, waterproofing, tapes, flares, (booster pack for others), weather protection, flat tire repair, extra pills/meds, sanitation, extra change of socks/underwear, personal hygiene products, extra electrical connections, photo camera, couple personal protection items, flashlights, matches/lighter, carabiners, nail file & clipper, instant glue, small zipties, note pad, pens/markers, exacto-knife and a Maxpedition Mini Pocket Organizer: pictured below is mine: (hidden inside are copies of my license, insurance, registration for cars & trailer and an extra $20)





and that OD-Green Maxpedition Mini Pocket Organizer goes into my "man purse"(as ms.imstricken calls it lol) but i call it my tactical EDC bag.


i love my bag. carry it everywhere, every day. especially when me and the ms go nyc exploring

galls.com & qmuniform.com can be a great guide for you, if you plan on building a good level 1/2, first responder kit. you dont have to buy their expensive kits. i bought most of my stuff at dollar stores & ebay! i simply bought an empty Dyna Med Mini-Medic Level 2 First Responder bag, and then used the list they have here as my guide:

Thanks alot man! I really like that idea about the tech bag in the car! I'm going to check into some of those ready-made fully stocked tech bags and probably buy that blue empty tech bag and transfer everything over... I'm currently out injured, but when I get back to work I can always stock up on gauze, masks, gloves, clings, etc.... Awesome idea!

HAHAHAH NOW YOUR THINKIN! i did the same, courtesy of my patrol cars! hahahha

also, i found this little white plastic kit in my local dollar store. (but you can also find it for $1.99 at Walgreens) and its got a couple band-aids and gauze. i simply added more band-aids, and the first aid cream that has the exact-identical properties and chemical makeup as neosporin.

I like the blue bag you posted the link to, and I like the 2nd link of the full kit (first link was an empty bag)... I think I may buy both of those and just add to it over time... I was looking at full kits online, but to spend $150 on a kit that is only semi to my liking, I might as well spend less and start out with less and just add to it...

I see both of those ebay links are for equipment based out of BK... You don't happen to sell EMS equipment do ya? lol jk

So what do you think about a "starter kit" consisting of:

nope, i only visit BK for the food, sights, and sounds i used to live there for a little, and still go back to visit once a month

So what do you think about a "starter kit" consisting of:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/First-Responder ... 1e765413ed

listing stated: 10.5" W x 5" H x 8". i just grabbed a tape measure, and 10.5 inches wide is tiny in my option! it wont leave much room for visibility. im sure you will need to dump that bag just to get to the stuff on the bottom. i think you'll out-grow that bag in a month.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/First-Responder ... 4395becd70

21" x 12" x 9"

Heavy Nylon Cordura Construction

Yeah I was thinking of getting the little bag just for the contents inside, and getting the blue bag to transfer those contents into and use it that way.

And a 12V compressor (I need to buy a better one. This one keeps on blowing the fuse of the male plug)

Under the trunk floor, the first aid bag:
