What are your essentials?

Is it a skateboard? Jumper Cables? A spare battery?

Sharing is caring!

Roughly what I have in there at the moment, usually always have most of it with me
The boring stuff, first aid kit, tissues, tool bag, towel, sleeping bag, pens, gps, spare jacket, roller door control, dog hammoc to protect the seat, various paper works
Decent stuff, soccer ball, dog agility equipment (jumps, tunnel and weavers), dog leash and collar, tennis balls and thrower, frisbee, soccer boots, sunnies, spare iPod, cup of change (money's)
Most of this stuff is in the boot, so there is not much room left in the tiny Evo boot :) when I write this down it looks like I Carry a lot of stuff, all this r&d to save weight in the Evo and I ruin it with mainly pointless stuff

A roll of good quality insulation tape. Apart from the basics that come with the car, to maybe get you out of trouble, it has to be the insulation tape. It can be used for a lot of things you would not think of. Super glue is also good but it doesn't last long in a car. The glue is good for repairing split radiator hoses good enough to get you home or somewhere that can fix it properly but so can the tape.

Duct Tape, for when something that moves but shouldn't.
WD-40 (and a silicone based lube) for when something that doesn't move but should.

And then the basics.
Random assortment of coupons, plastic bags, heavy duty rope, about 10L of water in a goon bag around the spare tire.
Water purification tablets, first aid kit including tourniquet, blanket, old jackets and vests + old pair of jeans, pens, pencils, paper, work laptop + work related equipment.

Weow.

I uhhh. Don't keep much in my car as I'm constantly in between my car and the fiancées xD which doesn't help.

But, I know currently in my front compartment is my spotted cards, there's also other small things like usbs for music, CDs, aux cable, phone charger as I have usb input, and deodorant! :P I keep my necessities in my bag xD
