have you ever actually managed to make fire out of hand sanitiser?I've tried buy never had any luck.Maybe I've found some special non-alcoholic alcohol based hand sanitiser.
but, if the poo really hits the fan as badly as you seem to be prepared of, a complete breakdown of anything .... you would be a prime target with all your stuff in your car.
I'll put a plug in for a large bandanna as a very versatile piece of kit. It can be used as a dust mask, a water filter for large particles, a makeshift bandage, a dew collector, made into charcloth, as sun protection, emergency signal if brightly-colored, etc.
This may be of relevance to this thread:It has lists for items to have and instructions on how to prepare for any emergencieshttp://www.ready.gov/build-a-kitdisaster supplies kit is simply a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency. Try to assemble your kit well in advance of an emergency. You may have to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you. You will probably not have time to search for the supplies you need or shop for them. You may need to survive on your own after an emergency. This means having your own food, water and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least 72 hours. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You could get help in hours or it might take days. Additionally, basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment and telephones may be cut off for days or even a week, or longer. Your supplies kit should contain items to help you manage during these outages.and (Image removed from quote.)
I'm not sure the generalist approach I see this kit going toward makes sense in any one scenario, and it has a lot of fluff for many scenarios.
I have a cool little Maxpedition Micro kit I keep in the car and just last weekend I had to pull an alcohol swap and bandaid out to nurse my sister-in-law's finger cut. That said, I'm not too concerned with soaps, razors, shampoos, toothbrushes etc. What I really need to be able to grab during an evac. is my medication as I would be absolutely terminal in little time without them. I take medication for my bad heart and 2 different bloodpressure meds. I won't get into all the other stuff I need to take but you get the idea.

How about shelled peanuts? Almonds? Trail mix? Foil packed tuna in oil?
