    I keep a backpack in my car with at least two changes of clothes, allergy pills, ibuprofen, sunscreen, and deodorant, toothbrush, and first aid. Worst case I’m ready when shit hits the fan. Best case I’m always ready for a surprise slumber party.

    I just like to be prepared for if I get stranded during a storm or my car breaks down

        I used to do that, but had to take it out of the car every winter. What good is emergency prep that’s not available half the year?

        Does anyone know what to look for in long term storage of something drinkable that could be left in a car over winter?

          You’d want to leave a little space in the containers so they don’t burst if they freeze. I think it’s still worth having at least some emergency water even if you might have to figure out thawing it.
