2 gallons of water, a few granola bars, a few cans of potted meat, crackers, and some hard candy. I bring a cooler of stuff as well when on longer trips, especially with the family.

I just keep some cereal bars, coffee, sugar, water, and some single serve kool-aid packets that go with the water bottles in case I need a sugar boost.

After several years being stationed in Minot. I carry a survival kit in every car. Military chow kits, folding stoves, #10 cans, candles, blankets-wool, sleeping bag or two.

Jerky, dried fruits and soups. Usually several packets of oatmeal. Crackers and canned meats.

About a case of water scattered around the car in different places. Tools kits, tarp, shovel. Jumper cables, booster, lights, cold lights, tow straps.

OK I know I'm paranoid.

yep.....try to keep it fully stocked.......has a 65 gal. fresh water system and a built in bar w/ice maker....

I keep a small 3 day emergency kit in the car with thermal blankets, candles, flashlights, etc. Heavy winters here and some ppl have been known to be stuck in snow banks on the highways for a couple of days or more. for food I have some homemade MRE's that I put in vaccuum sealed bags. Nuts, dried fruit, jerky, and high calorie emergency food bars.

The heat and humidity here ruins everything...and red ants like to eat, too.

I do keep kits ready to go, but I stay pretty close to home

I find that hard to believe since i am from florida and still had food in the truck in FL

My truck inventory is as follows
canned meats 6 packs, tuna fish 10 cans and any other canned meat I can find from time to time
oatmeal 2 large containers repacked into heavy duty containers.
5 lb powder milk 4 cans milk.
10 lb flour, 2 boxes biscuit mix pancake 2 boxes. yeast for bread making.
mac & cheese 5 boxes.
2 big zip lock bags of hard tack.
10 gallons of water
several cans of fruit
soups and crackers.

Does stopping to pick up roadkill count?

I keep water and some bags of beef jerky that i rotate out on a regular basis.

I keep three fully stocked kits in the car at all time,

1) The maintenance or in case I break down kit, with jumper cables, flashlight, tools, duct tape, spare parts, air pump, tire sealer and inflator, etc
2) The Emergency Kit, fire extinguisher, medical supplies, small back pack, rope, swiss seat, road flares, chem. Lights, portable 40 channel CB radio, small two person tent, emergency blankets, etc.
3) 72 hour food, water and emergency kit, 3 3600 calorie life boat emergency rations, water, water purification pills, water bottle, fire starting kit, wire saw, multi-tool, knife, emergency poncho, snare wire, water proof matches, wind up flashlight, regular flashlight and batteries, emergency survival tool, handgun, ammo, etc.

In the family vehicles - not unless we are going on trips. There is just not enough room and too much potential for mess (we already keep a first aid kit, spare belt/tire/top off fluids, bag of 2-way radios, cb's, and who knows what else in the main family vehicle). Now when we get another conversion van (on our want list) that may change as there will be more room lol.

In my service truck I TRY (I'll forget from time to time)to keep extra water and dry snacks (on top of my lunch that I usually bring) for in case I get stuck somewhere or get hit by some hypoglycemia while working out in the middle of bfe.

I have jumper cables,flashlights, tools, duct tape, air pump, tire sealer,
rope, road flares, chem lights, emergency first aid kit, water, emergency rations, insulated copper wire, lighters, permanent marker, winter warm leather jacket, pillow(one likes their comfort), sturdy shoes (in case I am wearing heals or sandles etc.), extra pair glasses, trash bags, zip ties, hatchet
There may be more in there I am not sure. I have not driven in a while. I ride my motorcycle mostly.

3 instant oatmeal
2 hot chochoalte packets
2 instant coffee bags
