Emergency Care Kits To Keep In The Car

When you cut your finger on a bit of glass, or you have a bit of a headache, you know where to go. To the first aid box, which is filled with wonderful pieces of kit that can have us feeling just right again as quickly as you can say "boo-boo"? For your car, though, you can have a first aid kit that allows it to deal with the minor knocks and nasties that befall a vehicle every once in a while. If your car has the same recurring problem which is either beyond the ken of your mechanic, or too minor to bother spending money getting it fixed, then there is every reason that you should have a few items that make such problems easy to deal with. 

For one thing, your car like your home should have a first aid box. If you are constantly on long drives with the occasional passenger, it is worth having medication - including travel sickness meds if you are travelling with someone prone to that particular curse, or if you are not sure. It really, really beats having to pull over regularly to allow them to get sick, trust me. It affects more grown-ups than you would think, but most kids get motion sickness at some level when they are younger. All other kinds of medication that you can think of should be provided too, because you never know when you might need them. Although if any cause drowsiness, then it is perhaps wise to refrain from taking them until there is somewhere you can stop. Whatever the case, it should be a bespoke travel first aid kit that allows you to deal with realistic ailments. 

The first aid for your car should be similarly realistic. Things like snow tires, (or for the sake of portability, snow chains), various fluids and smaller moving parts are all things that can come into the equation when you are travelling over long distances. Just to have them in your boot right now means that when you come to need them some way down the line you are not inwardly cursing yourself for forgetting to include them. 

Then there are the other things that do not constitute human or car first aid as such, but can come in extremely useful, especially if your journey is struck by misfortune. In case of an accident far away from anywhere, aside from bandages, what might you need? Water, for washing cuts? Check. Blankets? Check. Food? Check. On a long journey, if things do not go as you had wished, you may find yourself stranded a long way from anywhere. So water is an essential for survival as well as for emergency usage. You may need to sleep in the car, so blankets and a pillow will be useful too. And excessively filling food would be an idea too - for minimum storage but maximum nourishment. 

Anything else? Well, there are as many things as you can think of. The best thing to do is sit down and think of what YOU would need if you had to live in a car for a prolonged period. Reality-check your list - you may really like to have a fishing rod with you, but if it is going to take up space that could be better used, it would be best to leave it behind. And when you have written the list, follow it to the letter. You do not want to find yourself stranded one day, thinking "If I had actually followed that list, I would not be about to be eaten by this wolf".
