A lot of you spend as much time in your cars as you do at home (or at least it feels like it). I don’t spend a lot of time in my car because I have a home office, but when I am in my car, it’s usually for one of two reasons…
• I’m on a long road trip for work or a deployment
• I’m on a short trip with all the kids in there

Both of those reasons make it ever more important to have my car ready for emergencies because…
• I’m away from home in unfamiliar or dangerous territory
• I’m carrying precious cargo with my kids in the car

This week’s lesson is on basic car emergency preparedness.

In later editions, I’ll focus on car preparedness for special situations like snow and ice travel, overlanding, driving therough Mexico, and more.

You absolutely need to have an emergency kit in your car because car issues are one of the most common Everyday Emergencies you will encounter.

Don’t just prep your car either.
Prep your spouse’s car.
Your kid’s cars.
Your parent’s cars.
