Great stuff captain spaulding. I'm stealing some ideas, hope you dont mind!!
This is what I have in mine. I worry most in winter time, so my gear is directed towards those cold months.
This is why I love this place, everyone's needs are so unique and diverse, it's giving me some great ideas for my own kit.Quote from: Chako on July 01, 2014, 11:46:08 AMThis is what I have in mine.

Oh I just remembered something else I always have in my car. A roll of toilet paper. It's saved my ass more than once.

I always snatched napkins from any restaurant I went to, same with toothpicks, but yeah, napkins saved my @$$, if I didn't have any that's where the paper towels came in handy, grant it not that comforting, but they could be used in more ways then one!

I have in the back of my Suburban a 25 gallon Rubbermaid bin which contains:- Sears Portable Power battery jumper. Aside from jumping my myself or others, it provides a backup power source for the cell phone and other electronic devices. Recharged monthly. Has air compressor.- a DC to AC power inverter, which lets me run AC devices off of the vehicle cigarette lighter or Sears battery jumper- military ammo box with tools, fixed blade, WD-40- large coffee can with lid, containing a roll of toilet paper. When you have a sick kid in the back seat, you be glad to have a container. Could also transport gas or water in pinch.- heavy duty universal lug wrench; those little ones that come with the spare tire provide no leverage- seasonal backup clothing for teenage boys- trailer hitch - comprehensive first aid kit with CPR mask- small PSK, basically an Adventure Medical Kit's Pocket Survival Pack which I have augmented- spare umbrella- Maxpedition Malaga, black. Contains misc items, and can be emptied and used as required.- paper towels- tow strap- anti-bacterial wipes- bottled water in ziplock bagsI have been carrying bottled water, stored in a gallon ziplock in case it leaks. I think I need to lose that, because it will freeze. Not sure what the alternative is, when the temp is below freezing.In addition to the contents of the Rubbermaid bin, my Man Sack also rides in the vehicle and is available to take with me when I exit. It is not so much an EDC bag, but more of a "just in case" bag containing convenience items for the most part. It consists of a black Maxpedition MPB, which I have chosen because it has a lot of volume, and because it looks like a briefcase and flies below the radar. No "Sh*t Magnet" velcro patches for me, thanks. I want law enforcement and security guards to ignore me. It contains:- Bible (NIV Study)- legal pad and file folder- pens, pencils, Sharpies- large Moleskine notebook- Fenix 2AA light- Victorinox Swiss Tool Spirit- quart ziplock with misc contents: duct tape, phone chargers, earplugs, suncreen, lighter, monocular, spare keys to MIL's car, etc.- EMT shears- small first aid kit (scrapes and boo boos only)- nail clippers, dental floss, chapstick, tums, diphenhydramine- advil, anti-diarrhea, cough drops, hand sanitizer- hand lotion- Tide stain pen- Countycomm am/fm/shortwave radio (nice)- spare batteries- pepper spray- Anker 5000 mah backup battery (awesome)(Image removed from quote.)Maxpedition Man Sack with Tupperware container.
Whiskey. Lots of whiskey.
