What are the 5 most essential ‘items’ you should have in your car boot ?
in terms of, an emergency kit – but I dont want you to list every handy life saving device/gadget/tool you can think of – no.
i want 5.
5 items that YOU would choose and have in your car /car boot.
here are what I think most of you might pick.
Rope
Torch
Large Bottle of Water
swiss army knife
emergency flares
mini first aid kit
spare dry clothes
box of matches/cigerette lighter
high energy snack/choc bars &/or biscuits/crisps
those are just some i thought up of, as being obvious choices.
I want to see how the answers differ between men and women or if we both think the same way about ’survival’ heh
so, you may use 5 from that list or add some important ones i missed out. but only pick 5.
Apart from the obvious answers give by most of the posters no-one has mentioned a full fuel can, a hot thermos flask, waterproof jacket / trousers, Hi-viz vest / tabard (in case you have to walk in the dark) & the most important one is a charged mobile phone to call for help
