A note about the road flares. You can boil a considerable amount of water with a road flare quickly in any enviroment. Used them in the military. A ten minute flare can boil enough water for an entire squad to have coffee on a cold rainy morning. My squad loved me, LOL
They can also be used as a defensive tool against say a bear or a coyote or just about anything else, they are quick to light and I'd not want to attack anyone shoving one in my face! Cheers from Tokyo
Dam, we are stranded in the wilderness broken down and there is the rescue helicopter. Were are the Flares. Lt Dan used them to boil water for coffee. Dam we are screwed
@@johnd4348 hahaha, while this is hilarious, you obviously wouldn't use your last flare unless it was absolutely necessary. There can be circumstances that far outweigh the necessity of a flare for signalling.
So can a bic and some sticks LOL. Save the flares for when you need them. Reminds me of that scene in the edge where Alec baldwin(Bob) throws down the matches and says lets stop dicking around and grabs the flares Charles says hey...We need those... But he wastes them. There are a million ways it seems to start a fire why use such a valuable asset to boil water for a day since you are only limited to the amount you can contain usually a 1 maybe two bottles. A flare could do what you say sure but is that wise, no. Knowing a BIC lighter or 100 other means of making a fire and some sticks can do the same its not worth it.
About the breaking of glass most car manufacturers make their headrests to remove from the seat to be used for breaking the glass out of a vehicle. Just a little something to know.
I used to think so too until The last two or three newer cars that I’ve had. On my Chevy Trax, The headrests don’t even come out. Same with a few other cars that I’ve had. It’s always good to have a window breaker tool, And a seatbelt cutter, and make sure it’s a good one… And just have it in the car just in case. Depending on the emergency, you might not be able to get your head rests out even if they do come out, and honestly, having one of those window breaking tools as long as they work properly, is much easier and more preferable. They’re small and much more easily accessible if you keep them in your glove compartment or wherever.
1. Multi Tool (pliers, screwdriver, knife, etc) 2. flashlight 3.adjustable wrench or vice locking pliers 4. electrical tape 5. tire plugs 6. jumping cables or jump starter 7. band aids 8. 9mm handgun 9. lighter 10. rope or zip ties 11. water
Here's another secret. If you do get stuck and you don't have anything, if you have floor mats in your car, you can put them under your drive tires to possibly give you traction to climb out.
You know what would be a good idea, I think a little card with emergency phone numbers with some clear tape on it so it doesnt get wet. I hate to admit it, but I dont know a single number. Good Video :)
One cheap item I would add to this kit is a small steel wire brush! Sometimes cars won’t start because their battery terminals are so corroded that it can’t supply enough power to the starter. Cleaning them up might be all that’s needed.
@@deangary15 Like the jumper cables, it's so you can help someone else. The wire brush is a good idea but I've fixed corroded terminals by scraping with the small blade on my Swiss Army knife.
I would highly recommend a wool blanket. I know it would take up a lot of room, but it would help keep you warm while you wait. Or maybe some compressed down jackets.
Fire extinguisher, leather gloves, window breakers, crow bars, Fix a flat, radiator stop-leak, JB weld, hose tape, flares, tow straps, jumper cables, spare qts of oil, jugs of water, wiper fluid, antifreeze, spare fuses, lock de-icer, saws for trees down across the road, blankets and stoves for cooking/keeping warm while stranded overnight high in the Cascades, been there done all that and used every single item over the years lol. I carry all these things and more now, because ive NEEDED them over the years and learned those hard lessons u can only learn when stranded far outside cell coverage lol. And have saved so many other people over the years. If you go off the beaten path regularly, then youd better Be prepared folks, thats for damn sure. Your always the weird prepper guy, until the time comes to save the day lol then your the most popular man around.
Two things: you should keep the glass break in the glovebox, and you should also pack a small fire extinguisher. I’ve seen a lot of accidents, and when oil leaks on a hot radiator-- fire!
For the emergency hammer/glass breaker, they should be within hands reach from the driver. If you are involved in a crash and want to use them yourself you might be pinned in position by the seat belt (and this might be tensioned by the seat belt tensioning device). Also the hammers don't work under water for that you need a spring loaded one, you can get some small ones like the resqme that you can keep on you car keys so they are within hands reach.
Thank you Cody for sharing this video ;) I really appreciate you taking the time to share some knowledge to help those men who like you saild , did not have fathers or any strong male influences in their life. God Bless you and your family.
My mottos for life are as follows. Be prepared, Always Faithful, and If anyone references the good book and has a cat in their video it’s an automatic favorite.
I'm not very mechanically inclined but I highly reccomend a car manual and socket/wrench set. Helped me troubleshoot why my car was overheating before it was even cooled down enough for me to touch anything.
Cody, Cody, Cody I love this video.... You have me building on a kit like this from last winter 👍 I really enjoyed this one and loomi g forward to the next one. Like I said in a previous comment, being prepared is always key and like you just said I end up helping someone else more than I need the items for myself. 👌👌👌👌
I have used kitty litter. It has bentonite in it. It works pretty good for soaking stuff up but it can get slimy and really nasty in water. Instead I like to carry sawdust with me. It is lighter than kitty litter, It works better as a traction aid in the winter, It soaks up oil and is biodegradable. If it gets damp it does not turn into a slimy mess. Down side is it can be flammable. Of course if you need to start a fire that could be a good thing I suppose. Use it to soak up some spilled or unspilled oil and it makes starting a fire really easy. Just another option to consider that can help keep the weight down.
Thanks Wranglerstar! I just built an ammo can emergency kit for my Polaris Side by Side. I just put a couple simple things in there like a UNIVERSAL SOCKET... I know they are terrible, but it works. Anyway, I put some duct tape and electrical tape, blade fuses, nuts and bolts I may need, a few switches for the light bar, a torch, solder, lighter, cat litter for traction, some rubber gloves, hand sanitizer, and an AC adaptor for my cigarette lighter.
1:43 Loved the video, but the only thing I'd be concerned about with packing all of my stuff in a container like that is if it would be a little hard to get to something specific. I love all of the stuff you included but I can just picture myself now needing something towards the bottom in a hurry and having to dump the whole thing out in my trunk... it would still be better than not having it. Best of luck, thanks for the great video, and God bless.
Cody, road flares or any pyros will eventually fail as they absorb moisture & oxidize. If you seal them, vacuum bag if you have it, wrap with inexpensive mylar hvac duct tape, or find other ways to hermetically seal them (tin candy box?) you can get a reliable 10-15 years out of them. But out loose like that? Paperweights as they age.
I carry about 10 road flares as well as a couple of the red LED types. I use flares quite a lot for starting fires on job sites during the winter. Throw a flare into a scrap pile and go back to work for a few mins. I dont care how wet the pile is, Fire is waiting for ya when u come back lol. I carry basically everything your saying but also a few more things based off my own personal experiences, loved the JB weld, i have fixed an oil pan before way back in the mountains. Which is why i also carry 3-4 qts of oil as well.
This is great, definitely need to set up a tote to keep mine more organized. This did inspire me to buy my wife and I both some legit glass breakers. Thanks for the info!
Love your channel, Wranglerstar! I watched you regularly a few years ago then got away from youtube. Sure glad you're still here! Warm wishes from the snowy Ottawa Valley, Canada!
I have something similar in the trunks of both my daughters cars packed in a good quality ice chest for double duty one thing that I added to both of their kids is one of those small handheld battery jumper boxes where the battery pack is the size of a large cell phone and it comes with Clips to attach to the battery it recharges from the cigarette lighter but that's small battery will jump a car and they're available from Amazon or from the Walmart automotive center from around $40
Had to get someone out of the snow today. I only had a shovel, leather gloves and a axe. I'm getting this kit, because I see the need of one. Great kit! Love the philosophy behind the gear and the reason you have it. Thank you Wranglerstar!
Don't forget good tires and and tire chains for all 4 tires. And as far as an anchor point, they make anchor points that you can drive into the ground to hook the winch to.
I recommend an OBD-II sensor and a print out of OBD-II code list. Sometimes you will be driving and that check engine light comes on. It's good to know if that light is signaling a serious problem with your car or something minor.
I picked up one of those cheap Chinese Bluetooth OBD-II readers for about $15, it pairs with a free (Android, not sure if on apple) app called Torque Pro 2. plug in make and model and it'll pull up the codes and tell you what they are. And if it doesn't have the fault code description you can just google search it. (print out would be good for when Cell service is down though)

Speaking of the good Church: Annual church meeting and Pastor and his lovely Wife pronounced they were due with their to-be 5th child. One of the church Elders stood up and stated that it will be a bit more financial struggle for the congregation to assist the Minister’s family, but it will work out. The Pastor stood up and thanked the congregation for their acceptance and understanding, and concluded by saying, Children are a gift from God”.

As a former smoker i can tell you butane lighters such as bics, sciptos, etc dont work very well when theyre cold. Most likely the pressure in them drops. Better off with matches or a zippo. Or just keep it close to your body, not on a knife sheath. If you dont believe me, try an experiment; when its like mid dec, leave one in your car over night then go out and see how easy it lights in the morning, how large the flame is
I think taping that glass breaker to the underside of the lid would be beneficial. Since that’s the one thing in an time sensitive emergency you would want to not have to dig through the box for first. And he mentioned having one in the glove box outside of this one.
Kits depend on the area and shipping fuel can be a pain. Where I live water is much more important then a saw as the trees here are not tall enough to touch the street if they get blown over but with the summer heat the 3 day rule is cut in half.
Or a better idea (Which i was kind of hoping for) amazon affiliate links. So he could build a kit (show us the items and what not) and we can just buy everything online using his link and he can get a share of the profit. There are few people I feel comfortable about taking product advice from. Cody is for sure a dude I would trust to tell me the ideal car kit items/brands to buy.
Maine here. Cat litter does nothing for ice and snow anymore. It dissolves into a sludgy mess. It's not a sand nowdays. However, I'm sure it does work for oil spills.
I'd be carrying all of this out in the backcountry someplace and get stuck in a winter storm, but I'd be bringing a survival kit with food and camping gear just incase and extra tools
I grew up North of Chicago, but moved to Southern California. My brother's CA friends were mystified by the simple wood-and-plastic snow brush/ice scraper in the car (they were in junior high at the time) and had no idea what it was for. As I first learned to drive in California, I fear I may be terrible at driving in the snow should the need ever arise.
Another fantastic emergency item. Cheap bar of soap. Its saved my ass 2 times before as its so good at stopping fuel leaks if you put a hole in your tank. Used it once on a motorcycle and once on a vehicle.
Pro tip with silky saws that I don't see many people talk about is they are excellent for Flint and steel fires they light char cloth easily! Better than most dedicated steels.
On the subject of making fire..throw on a used dry sos pad and a 9volt battery..the battery will die in time so batteries from a flashlight will do in a pinch or a power pack or extra power for cell phone etc. It’s a real easy one to light up a good fire.
I would love to see you do a video testing the Fiber Fix tape, you could cut a rad hose and see if it will actually work to fix it. It is always good to no if it actually works.
My truck box is different. More tools and different oils etc. Blanket and candles of course. Tow strap, hitches and the like. I should have an MRE in there
Hiya Cody, please recommend to Rubbermaid to include some kind on securing device. I have an idea as far as making a recessed loop etc. Cody, please let me know and I would be happy to send more details... Forester from Western Canada.

These are the best Wranglerstar videos. The ones where he goes through a bunch of kit explaining what each thing if for.
I wish they made more containers that are just rectangular like a cardboard box instead of an odd shape that wastes space.
The Cat Litter needs to be the old fashioned clay litter. The type that clumps becomes slick and sticky when wet.
Great kit!
I always tell people to keep a glass breaker handy.

Well thought through kit, some of the things are not applicable in south africa, but my kit are more or less the same but adapted to our temperatures
I used the JB weld to fix the harmonic balancer on my tacoma for a year before I had to replace it.
You might want a mixing stick for the jb weld
Things to consider. Nice Tuna btw!
Radiator hole use needle nose to remove the fins around the hole. Then take the needle nose pliers and crimp the body of the radiator close
Back to the old school classic video style, nice!
Another fantastic emergency item. Cheap bar of soap. Its saved my ass 2 times before as its so good at stopping fuel leaks if you put a hole in your tank. Used it once on a motorcycle and once on a vehicle.
Pro tip with silky saws that I don't see many people talk about is they are excellent for Flint and steel fires they light char cloth easily! Better than most dedicated steels.
On the subject of making fire..throw on a used dry sos pad and a 9volt battery..the battery will die in time so batteries from a flashlight will do in a pinch or a power pack or extra power for cell phone etc. It’s a real easy one to light up a good fire.
very helpful , thank you
I would love to see you do a video testing the Fiber Fix tape, you could cut a rad hose and see if it will actually work to fix it. It is always good to no if it actually works.
Good stuff, looking forward to part 2
I would like to see Mrs Wranglerstar's vegetable garden now. I haven't seen a recent video of her garden and I am interested in where it is up to now.
Nice always looking forward to your videos.!
Can use pepper or a raw egg to stop a radiator leak. Pepper more suitable for storage. And more handy if forced to cook up road kill
Dont forget the fire distinguisher which you will need to use before the fire extinguisher, to make sure it really is a fire.
Good stuff and info.
My truck box is different. More tools and different oils etc. Blanket and candles of course. Tow strap, hitches and the like. I should have an MRE in there
Hiya Cody, please recommend to Rubbermaid to include some kind on securing device. I have an idea as far as making a recessed loop etc. Cody, please let me know and I would be happy to send more details... Forester from Western Canada.
What brand of space blanket do you recommend? Couldn't find one in your Amazon store.
Thanks for reminding me to bring in the hoses and cover the outside faucets.
Great advice! Love you videos
