HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN CAR KIT

There are a lot of assembled car kits on the market. You will find one is any wal mart  target or auto supply  store but this  is kit that you can  assemble for yourself . Costs will vary because  of the price of each item.Here are a few things to consider for your kit.
Car jack look yours over is it  sturdy enough to sagely do the job it's needed for?
Fuse  pick up a box of assorted fuses with varied amps.
Bungee cords three or four about of various lengths.
Roadside flares every car owner needs these a few triangles that are very visible.
Paper towels a first aid kit clear painters trap a few thermal blankets.
Mosquito spray sealed snacks (protein bars crackers peanut butter tuna packs.
Tire puncture kit for emergency flats a portable air compressor tire gauge.
Bottled water , a book , put a little money (bills and coins) inside a plastic bag, put a few match books in too.
Flashlight with spare batteries 
Jumper cables to use on your car or help out a stranded motorist.
tool pliers screwdriver set , small socket set.
Small shovel, campers have folding shovels , cat litter for traction, tire chains (know how to put them on if you  ever need to).
Spare tire do you have  one?
Of course , you can over do anything but there is nothing  worse than  getting into a situation that  calls for just the basics and most of us don't even have them. Most of us don't have a spare key hidden on the outside of our car.
One item tht makes a whole lot of sense and most of us just blow it off, is a portable battery charger if it's late at night  and the car won't start, you would have to stop a stranger and that's usually a real bad decision if you have your own charger , you don't  anybody's help.
And the most important thing would be your cell phone and a written list of emergency numbers and family or close friend numbers.How many times has your cell phone  died, you have to call someone for help or information , but the numbers are in the dead phone. That's  probably the most helpless feeling in the world. Because we depend on our cells, We just don't remember phone numbers like we used to.
