Angela over at Adventures in Self Reliance shows an emergency kit she put together for their new vehicle, which includes some basic items that would be helpful in event of a breakdown, unexpected stops, etc.

They’re also sponsoring a contest, ending this weekend. Photograph your car emergency kit and you could win a prepackaged survival kit! I’d consider it, but with in-laws coming next weekend, we’ve got a few emergencies of our own to deal with before they come. I’ll be busy with lots of other projects this weekend.
