Assisted Self Rescue

I have the basics in my car primarily because I'm never really that far from home, a few miles at most.

With my situation being urban carrying anything remotely interesting warrants close scrutiny from the police.

So again being close to home I'm naked of kit most times.

Only the other day I was ferrying three or four large bags on the handlebars of my bike whilst pushing it...

Not a very threatening site one would assume, but the local plod went round the block in their van two or three times casually looking each time they went past...

So I wont give them any excuse to have a mooch through my gear and find threatening items or get me for going prepared.

Any excuse for an easy collar.

I've got a few car kits. Not specifically for the car, but that's where they live at the moment.

Have food for a good few days, warm clothes, coats, things to start fire with etc.

I also have 2 distress flares, red ones. I know they're illegal to use on land, but if you need help who cares?

Basically I could stop my car anywhere and be more than comfortable for 3 days easy

Well I have two packs that I carry in a top box on my car,..in summer, I have summer packs and in winter,.. guess what?,..I have just redone them

I have all you mentioned but also have a set of snow chains, a change of clothing and a good pair of walking boots,..[ clothes for two of course]

I even have the whistle,... my dogs are trained to the whistle so I have one on my key ring,..these are the best whistles made

The nearest shops to me are a hundred miles away,... carrying these items is natural for most of us
