It’s so kind of Cody to not only share with us things we don’t know, but remind us of things we have forgotten. Being the first winter with my diesel, I’ve been reminded to get a heavier set of jumper cables. Proud to be part of the wranglerstar family.

While Cody nailed it there's one thing he forgot. I never go anywhere without a roll of toilet paper in my van and some hand sanitizer.

Fiberfix can be used as casting material if you need to splint a fractured bone. Also, the emergency "puck" light you showed works best when you are able to elevate it a couple feet off the ground. We use them on our fire department and set them on pylon cones. Thanks for sharing your emergency kit with us. Great information!

One ultimate tool that needs to be in any survival kit is a pair of needle-nose vice grips they're fantastic for pinching off brake lines or grabbing large and small bolts absolutely one of my favorite tools. So super useful.

True. My daily driver is a 79 f150 with a straight 6. Lots of room under the hood for kit. My seat cover IS a wool blanket on purpose.
My son and I will drive around in winter and I show him how to pull people out here in Idaho. It's fun.

I would like to add something small to this list. "drygas" or gas line anti freeze, the red bottle is mostly Isopropyl Alcohol, it can also be used in conjunction with the fire starter to easily start a fire.

Just got to use my jumper cables the other day to get a guy moving again. He was dead in the intersection, and 3 minutes later he was back on his way. Love being able to help other folks out! Always be prepared!! :-)

South Dakota and Minnesota guy here, agree, it’s the close to freezing weather that is the hardest to navigate. Good tires 👌

Would you ever do a video on the cheapest generator on Amazon? I think it would be fairly interesting to see the quality of it and how it stands up to a big name brand generator.

One addition, a roll of silicone tape. It will seal and fuse together to fix leaking hoses. I had the bypass hose from the thermostat housing to the water pump rupture. This sealed the house so I could get to town and fix it.

If you want to protect your road flare you can slide them into a PVC pipe, and cap both ends only gluing one end shut.

20:51 I agree. Im a state licenced fire extinguisher inspector and I see those cheep ones everywhere. so many get recalled and we tell people to trash them and get the good brands. Im partial to the Ansul brand but I like Amerex as well and recommend either of those to customers. Another tip that needs addressed is never use zip ties, string, wire or any thing else hard to remove to hold the pin in, buy and use tamper seals to secure the pin. time is of the essence.

I chose this years ago as my topic for finals during ABIC. (Army Basic Instructor Course) I’ve always had at least a diddy bag with the seasonal necessities for taking trips. Even if it’s just going over the state line to visit my sister for the day. It’s amazing how many people will trust in a vehicle then be completely screwed when they break down. I heard class comments like “oh it’s a short trip, ” or “I never break down.” Once it sinks in that this kit isn’t necessarily for you and that you may very well be saving someone else’s life then it makes a little more sense. Don’t run out and buy the prefab kits either. A bad situation on the road is stressful enough without trying to be Johnny on the spot with new gear you’re not familiar with. I use what I have or become familiar with items long before they have to be tested on the road for real. Great vid Cody, this is real life saving stuff here.

You know what I really appreciate, that you don't cut out coffs or when you miss speak, its like I'm watching a real person, rather than jump cutting everything :) so thanks for that

Those action packers are some of the best made plastic boxes on the planet. My mom bought me one for boy scout camp 30 years ago. Still got it, holding camping gear for me and my son.

[geoffreylohff]

Preach it Cody! Seriously... when you got to winter/summer tires it was like me teaching/lecturing my children! Get a set of ice & snow tires and mount them on stamped steel trims (no need to look nice when your dealing w/ snow & ice). The steel trims are less likely to leave you stranded if you hit something & seasonally swapping tires is much less hassle (especially since you use your spare tire tools from the car 2x a year so nothing is missing & everything works).

Sorry Cody... but I really heard myself in that section...

Cody thank you for updating us on some lighter weight items to carry in our vehicles for our families safety and being a good samaritan to our fellow travelers 👍

When I was younger I was always taught from both my Dad and Boy Scouts to "Be prepared". Most anyone that knows me knows that I am the go to guy for tools or basically most things you would need when out in the field or in a pinch. I really wish more people had the same attitude. If you are capable person to assist someone in need, there is no better feeling than being able to help someone out if the need should arise. I love having all the tools and gadgets to get the job done and be able to be that go to guy. Also as you mentioned, more importantly look our for your family and go the extra mile. Great video thanks for sharing!

[fractode]

Yet another great video. Brings back some memories, and triggers a suggestion.

My Dad had a repair shop on Long Island (New York). Hot and muggy in summer, freezing cold in winter. I worked there, as many hours as I could, from high school, through college. It was the best time of my life back then.

I remember Dad always using rags (which we always had in ample supply on the wrecker), to put on the ground to kneel on, when we had to drag someone in. (No automatic towing then, you had to get on the ground with hooks and chains, and use a 4x4 to put between the chains and the bumper.) Anyway, to your gear I would add a set of tile layer's kneepads. If you're doing retrieval in extremely cold / wet weather, I think you would benefit by having these aboard. (And let me tell you, when you get older, you *NEED* these!)

Thanks again!

Really liked the video. I have a few other suggestions. 1. 9-1 rescue flash light, I bought three for my wife and daughters on Amazon for $24.00 each. 2. Heavy duty wire ties 3. Adjustable bungee cord. 4. Headlamp 5. Triangle reflective road markers6. Good leather man multi tool.
