Junk in the trunk: First aid
This is so important, I carry one when I’m not in the car
There is more to this, like what I put in it. Your family may require different things, but here is what is in mine, compiled through experience.
Allergy pills (like Benadryl): you never know when your gonna have a bee fly in your window.
Athletic tape and ace bandage: comes in handy for spranged appendages or when your foot gets run over.
Large bandages: for those fan blade size lacerations.
Hibistat towelette: disinfectant and sanitizer.
Chemical Hot and cold packs: helps keep your hands from freezing up when its cold.
Matches or a lighter: for when your breakdown is hopeless. (might need an accelerant for the entire car)
Burn ointment: for when you accidentally grab the exhaust pipe.
tweezers and scissors: for pulling out metal shards.
Rubber gloves: for the rare occasion someone else actually gets hurt.
There are other smaller things one should carry, but there are some things I don’t; band-aids (there too small) or a snake bite kit. (I ain’t suckin’ on that). To each there own.

Thanks for reminding me. I haven’t looked in my car emergency bag and nearly two years. I need to check it out and see if anything needs to be added or replaced.
Well, I carry a small first aid kit, an overnight kit, and an extra change of clothes. THTHHTTHTHTHTHTHTHHT
Hey, we’re not done yet…
I have one in my car but I really should put allergy pills in it. And gloves- I need a box anyway as I use them in class a lot.
