With the unpredictable weather lately you never know what you might encounter while driving. What are some of the things you should have in your emergency car kit? I know flashlight and flares but what else????

Cellphone Book Glock 9mm extra ammo Snickers Coke
I can use the cellphone to call for help. I can read the book while waiting. If I gue hungry/thirsty I have the snickers and the coke. The Glock 9mm is for any problems. The extra ammo is in case the problem has friends.

I agree with all of these. I also keep water in my car. (To drink, or in case my engine overheats .) I keep an "emergency" bag for my kids, too. Diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, maybe a blanket or jacket, and powdered formula if you have a baby. Plus, of course, toys to keep them entertained.

You know....that is an excellent thing to: WATER
In my area, when your break down in an emergency there is usually snow....but in the summer....or in the USA.....water would be very important. I will consider that suggestion. One bottle will last a long time and takes next to no room in the back.
