+Real Men Real Style MRE is good for only 90 days if stored in car and plastic bottle water too use Emergency Water Pounches like this www.amazon.com/Mayday-Emergency-Pounches-Preparedness-Backpacking/dp/B002NVA00Y and food bars like this www.amazon.com/Mayday-Calorie-Camping-Hiking-Survival/dp/B002ECWBPO/ref=pd_sim_328_7?ie=UTF8&dpID=412P3mlR%2B5L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0Z1W22DPBZKXB6WVE3B4 THY ARE GOOD FOR 5 YEARS
+Real Men Real Style Great list. I would add a set of leather or mechanic's gloves. Having to work with metal tools when its freezing cold out or wet, when your hands are likely to slip and get banged up is no fun.
+Daily Driver Reviews Or a reflective safety triangle, standardized first aid kit approved by your ER so if you really find your self in a bit of trouble and call 911 they know exactly what you have, soma painkillers and most importantly toilet paper because its much more likely that you and your loved ones will need to take a dump much more often than being attacked by a bear.
+David Beecroft Oh yeah, the cell phone. I was hiking with a friend once. He was heading right into that ravine because his cell phone told him it's all green. (a bit of shrubs) My map told me it is getting down 100m and up 100m. So, in the end we walked around that ravine without breaking our necks. You haven't been in the army, I guess?
Because he is, his stupid article he keeps directing you to every minute or so, his whole brand is just pumping out the same basic video template over and over. "Hey guys I'm confident and good looking so do as I say, put a first aid kit in your car, also check out my article" 😂😂
Good tips! Living on an island, I keep an emergency window breaker that also has a line cutter to cut through seat belts in the event we were stuck in the truck ($5 on Amazon). As a CPR instructor, I keep a pocket mask with gloves underneath my seat incase I had to respond to an accident. Lastly I just found a little "5 hour energy-like" bottle at a liquor store that metabolizes alcohol fast that I keep in my glove box. So if ever I had one too many to drink and sleeping it off wasn't an option, I can pound one of those and wait until I feel comfortable.
Bruh he's just saying that so you guys don't find another thing to complain about like lack of driving experience. He's mentioning the 20 years to tell yall that he has experience.
You are correct. In fact, the first thing (hiding a spare key on the car) is actually not allowed in Belgium. Well, it's probably not illegal, but it's a valid reason for the insurance company to not pay you out in case your car gets stolen. A spare tire, jumper cables and a map are actually quite useless in Belgium. There is GPS coverage just everywhere, and as a backup you can still use your smart phone (which has coverage in about 99% of the country). And I prefer calling a service company to help me out when I have a flat tire, dead battery or other car troubles. It's just much more convenient, and they will do a better job than you could ever do yourself.
Being an Older Teenager I think this idea has been very informative. Thank you. However as I live in the UK I probably won't be in certain emergency situations that some Americans or other people will encounter. A map is a good idea but My father and I we keep what's called a Road Atlas it covers the entire country and is particularly useful on long trips if his Satnav (GPS) dies or otherwise goes down. Because our weather is ALWAYS subject to change my Dad and I always pack his Council worker's High Visibility Jacket in case of a breakdown plus a spare HV vest for the passenger. Continuing on from breakdowns a warning triangle is essential. I don't know if you get them in America but essentially it's a collapsible red Triangle sign with Reflectors on it that is placed just over the average stopping distance away from your breakdown to warn other drivers that your stationary vehicle is a hazard. Thanks once again for the information.
After I crashed my car, I wasnt prepared at all: the spare wheel wasnt inflated, the air pump wasnt working, didn't have spare bulbs, didn't have a first aid kit but I didn't need it ... I tend to carry more things than I need right now... I learned my lesson
I hope you change out those bottles of water every few months, especially when it gets hot. I would suggest looking into an alternative way to carry that water than in plastic bottles.
+ManCave Mayhem I switched to glass bottles, Voss brand to be exact. water still tastes fine after years and the bottles are strong enough to be re-used many times. you can even boil water in one if you need to.
+Seth Mattern the expiration date on bottled water is not for the water, it's for the plastic bottle itself. After a while it will start releasing certain chemicals into the water that aren't exactly healthy for you and this process gets sped up significantly in warm conditions
My son is autistic and he just turned twenty-one March 4th and I've started watching your videos to step up his appearance and to be more informed with how to best dress a man and your videos are a great source of information. Thank You, Margaret
In italy some of these elements are required by law and must be included with the car when you buy (or sell) it. - spare tire & tire changing equipment (or at least a tire repair kit + air compressor) - reflective jacket (not for cold climates, just high visibility) - flashlight or something else (usually when you buy a car you found a glowstick into the tool box) - spare bulbs - spare fuses - emergency warning sign (reflective triangle) - map depending on local regulations, in winter time the snow chains may be also required (not included when you buy a car) also, jumper cables aren't required if you have a car with manual shift and clutch (push start is more than adequate)
For a spare tire, it is also important to make sure it is properly inflated, and then periodically check once-in-a-while (like when rotating tires, for example) because over long periods of time a spare tire can lose air pressure.
Though I realize this video focuses on emergency situations, but personally, I always keep a spare necktie, cuff links, and tie bar in my car. I wear a suit daily to work and last minute dressing is often a reality. Whether it be a coffee spill or just forgetting to grab one for tying on the road, a backup tie is essential. Cuff links are in case my pair breaks or I forgot to grab a pair, and a tie bar just in case of wind conditions or in case I didn't do the best job tying the knot on the fly. Thanks for the video, Antonio. Long term fan of your site. And thank you for your service to our country.
+Real Men Real Style Though my emergency kit isn't as thorough as your video describes, I have always kept a small backpack kit in my trunk just in case. In it, I keep: First Aid Kit (band aids, neosporin, wound dressing, aspirin, etc) Two bottles of water Tire pressure stick A roll of quarters Some cash/one Visa card White fluffy socks Plastic cutlery (fork, spoon, knife) Napkins Wet wipes (these are a Godsend) Burner Cel Phone (prepaid disposable cel) with car charger. Non perishable/meltable candy/lozenges Neutral color tie, basic cuff links, tie bar, black dress socks Random book of trivia I think I have reached in and used every piece of my kitty some point in the past year, with the exception of the First Aid Kit (which is not a bad thing, obv ;) I just finished watching a few more RMRS videos. You do wonderful work and provide a phenomenal service. Ty!
Overall I agree with this list. I like the idea of an older jacket that can also be a blanket. I would agree that this list can be modified for individual needs. Personally, rope - to tie a load down or help if you get stuck. I like to carry a blanket - cover seats or trunk area for hauling things, picnic/beach blanket/keep you warm. I carry an extra shirt to change on the fly. A towel for drying off or cleaning up vehicle. Great job on videos Antonio...keep it up. Ed
I like the list. It’s one of the best ones I have seen out on youtube, but there are a few things I would personally add and upgrade. Add: Coolant Motor oil A good quality portable air compressor, like the Viar 85P Breaker bar or telescopic breaker bar with a socket for your lug nut Tire pressure gauge Headlamp Crescent wrench Reflective roadside warning triangle Also, upgrade to a smaller compact jump starter like the one from Anker. The compact jump starter can also charge your cell phone, if you have a usb charger. Ditch the measuring tape and leveler for sure.
Loved it. I grew up without a dad. My mom never thought to teach me this stuff. I have two sons and two daughters. I need to get this training to them. THANK YOU!
As another good vloger said, Best place to store water is your belly. Dont wait for an emergency then realize your dehydrated. Stay hydrated always. Help them brain juices lol. also if you have to tell a man that he needs ductape in his car...sigh it may already be too late.
I have the JNC 660 Jump n Carry as well. It was expensive but it is by far the most reliable tool I have every purchased... it sat for a year in my shed and when I had to jump start my tractor in sub freezing temperatures it was stilled charged... That was three years ago and it still holds a charge...
I put small orange cones just incase I break down on the side of the highway at night just for that little bit of extra visibility. I also keep shovles incase I where to get stuck in the snow during the winter. Other then that I always keep everything else you said in there as well.
I like to keep a 12 volt air compressor and tire plug kit in my car. Its small enough but it will pump most car tires. SUV and light truck tires might require a few minutes rest to cool down. the compressor is about 30 bucks and the tire plug kit is about 10 (ball park) and can be picked up at any wal-mart in the auto section. My compressor's brand is "slime" which is the same brand as the tire plug kit. I've used both of those about 10 times a year on my car and many friends cars. I met the gorgeous girl im dating by knowing how to change her tire that was ballooning out and I became her hero. ALL MEN NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PLUG AND CHANGE A TIRE!!! Take care y'all!
One thing we carry in our Iroc-z camaro is a mini air compressor that goes in the 12 volt outlet it can take a while to fill up a tire but you never know when it can be needed also helps if you leave your cars sitting a lot like we do with that particular one. Great video!
Antonio great list. I make sure that in my first-aid kit/trauma bag I have a tourniquet and a pressure bandage. I also have in my trunk a fire extinguisher, 2 gallon water jug and an empty 1 gallon plastic gas can. Aside from the things on your list as well as the basic tools you mentioned I also have a hatchet, folding camp shovel, towing gear, road flares, zip ties, umbrella and 100 feet of rope. I also have spare change of clothes, good hiking boots and a small ready made backpack with the essentials to walk out of a wilderness situation (a bug out bag/get home bag). With regards to flashlights, I have a hand held one but I also have one of those head lamp lights (useful for changing a tire by yourself in the dark). In the cabin, I have a pair of gloves and a poncho in the drivers door compartment. I also have a Resqme (Quick Car Escape Tool) attached to my sun visor.
There are still lots of things a real man would need in a car. By the time I check all the items on my list, I might as well tow a trailer with my things in it everywhere I go. I think the best thing to carry in your vehicle is your knowledge of how to survive in the wild with just a pocket knife. Most importantly how to find food, water and shelter. Because if you're stranded in the wild, eventually you will need to leave your car and everything in it to find help. You'll be on your own because you're gonna have to leave everything behind to walk into and out of the wild to find help.
+Filippos Voulpiotis An estimated 1.23 million deer-vehicle collisions occurred in the U.S. yearly (according to State Farm Insurance) I have hit deer 2X, almost hit them about 20X in 8 years.
one thing that should be on your top ten list especially in cold weather is survival candles you keep one or 2 in your vehicle at all times with a bic if you ever get stranded in really cold weather you light it inside the cab it warms it up allows you to either conserve fuel or if you're out of fuel its a great way to keep you warm for hours
so how is a person supposed to carry all this in a motorcycle!? also water is not good to carry in its plastic container.weathering will cause the plastic to release chemical's and mix with the plastic, put it in metal or aluminum container to store it it another harder safe plastic container.
Well I would add to those essential things you've listed: - Gloves - absolutely essential (somebody in the comments already mentioned those) - 10ft of metal wire or metal tape (and alternative to gaffer tape - sometimes better for solid provisional fixes on parts that are hard to stick to but easy to tie) - rope. always have rope. thin rope, thick rope, TOWING ROPE - small flat shovel for digging yourself out of sand/mud - a sturdy hand wire saw (takes little space, can be a life-saver) - spare materials for your car: lightbulbs, electrical fuses. especially the latter ones one tends to easily forget and have a huge problem when they snap. And the more circumstantial stuff: - tire chains (when it's snowy) - though you do list them as add-ons I'd say that it's easy to forget them so better have them in advance - a wedge - for parking on a slope when going hillside
tomoth77 It doesn't have a place to put a spare tire or you chose not to have one with you? You could also go with run-flat tires and don't care at all.
just one thing that would go along with knowing what you have is knowing how to use it. I'm the kind of person that likes to do stuff myself so what I do is every 3 months when my oil change comes up I will do that but also rotate all 5 tires (including the spare to give even tread wear) but I do it with just the tools I keep in my truck so there is no doubt when I need to change a flat I wont have any problems. same with the first aid kit if you have supplies to help with major blood loss then learn to use them or it won't be anywhere near as effective. BTW great list I'm glad to see I had everything you mentioned in some form. one last item to consider is if you live In a state that has snow storms in the winter a small folding shovel will fit behind your seat or in the trunk and its definitely better then using your hands if you get stuck.
+Perry Kiddo That's a stupid comment, they wont get there in time to save your car getting gutted if a fire starts, they wont get there in time if a car crashes and your first on the scene with them trapped inside and its on fire..... Think harder.
The spare wallet with a bit of cash and a spare credit card is a wonderful idea ! It's true one always wonder about few coins and, in case of running low on fuel, one can always be sure to afford a few gallons until reaching home. Thanks !
#1 a 6 pack of Budweiser. #2 log of snuff or bag of chaw. #3 9mm #4 hunting rifle #5 ammo for both #6 lighter #7 30 pack #8 duct tape #9 American flag #10 a flag holder to keep waving off your broken down truck
All good points for everyday situations. I drive across Canada twice a year basically coast to coast and its always during Winter. I even have a 340L slip tank full of gas on my F150. Fire extinguishers are a neccessity too. I go through Northern Ontario and theres no cell coverage for hours upon hours so i also have a CB... Truckers can be a life saver in isolated places... I pack so much for any situation I had to put airbags in my truck to level it out. Over cautious? Maybe, but I've been stuck in some horrible blizzards and have helped out a fellow motorist here and there even its its 20L of gas or an MRE to help them out because traffic is stopped and you can't move. Oh and yes.... I carry a shotgun too.
Instead of an expired ID. I keep an state issued "Identification Card" (Typically given to minors) which is a legally separate card that can be valid at the same time as a driver's licenses. Note: in the state of California the photo **MUST** be different from your driver's license photo. so if you pay for both a new driver's licenses and get an ID card the same day, make sure they take two photos otherwise they will only process the driver's license.
I'm so thankful for your channel, thank you for having made all these videos going well beyond clothing. It's no wonder you make all the money you do on youtube and it makes me want to put out some good videos too.
Personally, I don't think having a spare car key on the car is a very good idea. I carry a spare key with me separate from my main set of keys. I keep one set of keys in my front pocket and a spare set in my back pocket. It works out well for me.
American be like: 1. A hunter knife 2. A Desert Eagle 3. A 9mm M9 Beretta 4. A .357 Magnum Desert Eagle 5. A .38 Smith & Wesson Model 642 6. An AR-15 7. An Ak-47 8. A Remington Model 31 9. An RPG-7 10. An M79 Grenade launcher
A gun needs to be on this list.. You are no man if you cannot protect your family against a carjacker, terror attack or just a madman in general.. and in todays world, thats becoming alot more likely to happen.
Seatbelt cutter and glass breaking hammer usually are all in one tools and I have also seen a few of them that also include a tire pressure gauge. If you use a belt cutter words of advise and even once got to practice for myself and works cut the belt on a diagonal angle not 90 degree perpendicular right angle.
hand crankable flashlights are better in my opinion. Light is important and if a battery fails on you, that can be pretty devastating. A lighter is arguably even more useful, since it can be a source of heat as well as light. Personally, I'd have replaced the full-sized tool kit with rope or duct tape. You can turn duct tape into rope, but rope is re-usable and easier to store. Depending on your climate, a small tarp could replace the jacket. A tarp can serve as a blanket, a tent, a water-catcher (in the rain), it can block off a broken window, a caste for a broken limb, a way to gain traction when stuck in ice, a way to carry many objects, and many other purposes. Assuming you're in an area with reception, the average smartphone could effectively replace the need for a spare key, spare tire, jumper cables, flash light, and map. Obviously not as quick and convenient as having those things, but it helps. Keep in mind - even un-registered cell phones can dial 911.
I watched a video on Buzzfeed about car hack. Get a laundry basket and keep all or most of that stuff in the trunk, tends to keep everything organized and prevents it from getting jumbled all over the place. It's pretty awesome. Also get a cereal container and either get a shopping bag or garbage bag and then you have an instant trash can in you car. Just some things to have on deck guys. 😊
1: a few gallons of water and a gallon of concentrated anti freeze 2: a full ratchet set with a full wrench set (metric & standard) 3: motor oil 4: transmission fluid 5: a spare belt (fitted to your car) 6: first aid kit (nothing fancy just common supply's) 7: cheap blankets/jackets ( if you get stuck in a snow storm or don't prefer to lay on the ground to work under your vehicle) 8: flashlight 9: vehicle repair guide ( only $30 or so for all general repair guides) 10: a good tow strap( in my case I got a old logging chain just make sure it's strong enough to pull your vehicle)
Great list I always carry a tire plug kit as we get nails or screws from time to time. I don't carry an air pump but I always find air. We too have a spare tire. But sometimes it's hard to find a tire shop and they charge $20 for one plug, so the kit pays for itself.
I would add a heated blanket with a battery that can output to it. I recently heard about someone in NYC that froze to death in their car during a snowstorm. A heated blanket can help make sure that that doesn't happen to you. Something that can protect you from sun exposure is also a good idea, but the heated blanket can do that if you don't plug it in. Alternatively, you can go with an insolated blanket. Those tend to be easier to find than the alternative.
1) Nice idea, you may not be able to start a car though unless you get a key with immobilizer transponder and get it coded. 2) Spare or at least tire sealer. 3) yes 4) What the heck ;) Just replace your battery.... Nice to have a set when it is like -20 degrees outside, but otherwise carrying it year round is pointless. Protip: In cities you can call a taxi for a jump start, it's cheaper than set of those cables. Also most of the jumper cables are absolute crap and the good ones cost a lot. 5) That's a regular jacket... Good idea but it is always good to carry actual high visibility jacket. 6) With modern cars a toolkit is mostly useless, you can barely fix anything on a side of the road. A multitool is enough. In older cars you can do an engine rehaul stranded on a freeway ;) 7) One, maybe two bottles are enough, why carry eight?! Are we talking about expeditions like few hundered kilometers from nearest civilisation? BTW: Biscuits are great "emergency food", they do not rot, melt or freeze. 8) Small LED flashlight is way more handy and will last longer on battery, unless you want to double its function as a baton... 9) Like WTF? Keeping a wallet with active credit card and personal data in a vehicle? Is this video serious or just a joke? 10) Just download an offline map and carry a charger for your phone, most people do have those items already in car.
+mibars He has eight water bottles because he has kids. I have fixed plenty of crap on my car with a tool kit like that one (but one with wrenches). $7 jumper cables from Wal-Mart work just fine, I've jumped several vehicles with mine. "Keeping a wallet with active credit card and personal data in a vehicle? Is this video serious or just a joke?" Really, you keep your registration and your proof of insurance in your car, it has the same info. Downloading a map takes up a lot of space and only works for a certain area. Plus phones can get broken and are not usually water proof.
Keep a small tarp that’s brightly coloured and some paracord. If you’re in mud of whatever and need to change a tyre it’ll keep you relatively clean/dry and you’ll be a little more visible to passing vehicles that you’re there. It could also be a makeshift shelter by the side of the motorway if its super hot/sunny or raining and you and the family have to wait for hours to be recovered. If you buy a med kit, check it’s actually got adequate supplies for most outcomes. Carry a head torch over a flashlight, or both. You can also get waterproof and magnetic work lights that’ll clip to your vehicle.
A few months ago in Ireland a whole family died when their jeep slipped down/off a pier and they couldn't open the electric windows. (It was something like that, I'm not 100% sure of the details). From then on I've always made sure that my car, my friends car and my parents' cars have those little seatbelt cutter/window breaker tools. They cost like maybe €5-10 and they could save your life. That incident I mentioned was all over the news for about a week so I hope it made others think of ways to stay safer in their cars.
john tin no..? Swiss Army knives are called pocket knives. The ones I'm talking about are nothing like them. Just google it like they're pretty popular.
great video... if people don't agree at least they will think of what they will put it there vehicle... here's a few more things to add... tire plug kit... small piece of plywood in case you get a flat in sand,dirt,snow... emergency blankets...
I live in Ukraine, we have snowy winters here, so I keep an old soviet sapper shovel left from my grandpa. Very useful when you got stuck in snow or sand on camping. It's very sharp, so I also use it as an axe on camping, or to engulf fire or even as a weapon, cause you never know.
Thank you for all of your videos and hard work. I have all of those items plus you may want to include: Older gym clothes & sneakers (based on your videos, I don't think anyone wants to do a car repair in a suit and $300 shoes), rubber gloves, extra fluids and paper towels. PS you can upgrade your old mag with LED bulbs.
Good suggestions. You've convinced me to add a little more to my trunk to prepare for the unexpected. Your tool kit is lacking though. Having the right socket or wrench can be a difference between an inconvenience and ruining your night
This guy looks like he's going to break into Kevin's house when his parents left him Home Alone Since I don't have a car I'm going to steal Antonio's spare key and drive away with his
Flares, emergency mylar thermal blankets - couple more things I carry. Flares can be crucial in warning other motorists of a danger. And thermal blankets are lifesavers in case you are in cold and someone does not have a jacket. They are cheap and take little space.

Good tips! Living on an island, I keep an emergency window breaker that also has a line cutter to cut through seat belts in the event we were stuck in the truck ($5 on Amazon). As a CPR instructor, I keep a pocket mask with gloves underneath my seat incase I had to respond to an accident. Lastly I just found a little "5 hour energy-like" bottle at a liquor store that metabolizes alcohol fast that I keep in my glove box. So if ever I had one too many to drink and sleeping it off wasn't an option, I can pound one of those and wait until I feel comfortable.
"I've been driving cars for over 20 years" wow holy crap, thats amazing😂
I have been driving for 23 years without all that :S I think I am amazing!?
Bruh he's just saying that so you guys don't find another thing to complain about like lack of driving experience. He's mentioning the 20 years to tell yall that he has experience.

I have a spare key in my wallet, too much of a hassle hiding somewhere on the car.
The first 6 you covered in this video is mandatory here in Belgium, you can actually get an amount if you don't have it.
+Ignace Aleya Very cool - I did not know that but love it!
You are correct. In fact, the first thing (hiding a spare key on the car) is actually not allowed in Belgium. Well, it's probably not illegal, but it's a valid reason for the insurance company to not pay you out in case your car gets stolen.
A spare tire, jumper cables and a map are actually quite useless in Belgium. There is GPS coverage just everywhere, and as a backup you can still use your smart phone (which has coverage in about 99% of the country). And I prefer calling a service company to help me out when I have a flat tire, dead battery or other car troubles. It's just much more convenient, and they will do a better job than you could ever do yourself.
@@DJefke001 I’ve actually done quite a good job fixing myself out of flat tires, and dead batteries, just as well as any company, but to each his own.
Being an Older Teenager I think this idea has been very informative. Thank you. However as I live in the UK I probably won't be in certain emergency situations that some Americans or other people will encounter. A map is a good idea but My father and I we keep what's called a Road Atlas it covers the entire country and is particularly useful on long trips if his Satnav (GPS) dies or otherwise goes down. Because our weather is ALWAYS subject to change my Dad and I always pack his Council worker's High Visibility Jacket in case of a breakdown plus a spare HV vest for the passenger. Continuing on from breakdowns a warning triangle is essential. I don't know if you get them in America but essentially it's a collapsible red Triangle sign with Reflectors on it that is placed just over the average stopping distance away from your breakdown to warn other drivers that your stationary vehicle is a hazard.
Thanks once again for the information.

After I crashed my car, I wasnt prepared at all: the spare wheel wasnt inflated, the air pump wasnt working, didn't have spare bulbs, didn't have a first aid kit but I didn't need it ... I tend to carry more things than I need right now... I learned my lesson
i dont put anything in my car to save weight so i can get those 10 second 1/4 miles

I hope you change out those bottles of water every few months, especially when it gets hot. I would suggest looking into an alternative way to carry that water than in plastic bottles.
+ManCave Mayhem I switched to glass bottles, Voss brand to be exact. water still tastes fine after years and the bottles are strong enough to be re-used many times. you can even boil water in one if you need to.
Why's that
+Seth Mattern the expiration date on bottled water is not for the water, it's for the plastic bottle itself. After a while it will start releasing certain chemicals into the water that aren't exactly healthy for you and this process gets sped up significantly in warm conditions
+Robin Boots would it still keep you alive
Seth Mattern yes, it would but it would still taste really gross if you let it sit long enough

+margaret gardner Good to heat that! Thanks for the support!
In italy some of these elements are required by law and must be included with the car when you buy (or sell) it.
- spare tire & tire changing equipment (or at least a tire repair kit + air compressor)
- reflective jacket (not for cold climates, just high visibility)
- flashlight or something else (usually when you buy a car you found a glowstick into the tool box)
- spare bulbs
- spare fuses
- emergency warning sign (reflective triangle)
- map
depending on local regulations, in winter time the snow chains may be also required (not included when you buy a car)
also, jumper cables aren't required if you have a car with manual shift and clutch (push start is more than adequate)
For a spare tire, it is also important to make sure it is properly inflated, and then periodically check once-in-a-while (like when rotating tires, for example) because over long periods of time a spare tire can lose air pressure.
+bmg102 Of course. Ensure your spare tire is ready to use.
A roll of duct tape has gotten me out of a few jams. I also keep one of those portable phone chargers.
Yep, a roll of duck tap, a ball gag, leather gloves, a blindfold and a bottle of chloroform and you're ready to roll.
+Steven Donaldson duct tape is love duct tape is life but honestly i dont know why it wasnt included
+thorin dyer Hahahahahahahahaha
Though I realize this video focuses on emergency situations, but personally, I always keep a spare necktie, cuff links, and tie bar in my car. I wear a suit daily to work and last minute dressing is often a reality. Whether it be a coffee spill or just forgetting to grab one for tying on the road, a backup tie is essential. Cuff links are in case my pair breaks or I forgot to grab a pair, and a tie bar just in case of wind conditions or in case I didn't do the best job tying the knot on the fly.
Thanks for the video, Antonio. Long term fan of your site. And thank you for your service to our country.
+Michael Hamai Good idea - do you keep the essentials too?
+Real Men Real Style Though my emergency kit isn't as thorough as your video describes, I have always kept a small backpack kit in my trunk just in case. In it, I keep:
First Aid Kit (band aids, neosporin, wound dressing, aspirin, etc)
Two bottles of water
Tire pressure stick
A roll of quarters
Some cash/one Visa card
White fluffy socks
Plastic cutlery (fork, spoon, knife)
Napkins
Wet wipes (these are a Godsend)
Burner Cel Phone (prepaid disposable cel) with car charger.
Non perishable/meltable candy/lozenges
Neutral color tie, basic cuff links, tie bar, black dress socks
Random book of trivia
I think I have reached in and used every piece of my kitty some point in the past year, with the exception of the First Aid Kit (which is not a bad thing, obv ;)
I just finished watching a few more RMRS videos. You do wonderful work and provide a phenomenal service. Ty!
A mossberg 500 easily #1
lol
Yesssss! And definitely a little spare ammo. ;)
DansKnivesAndStuff Of course! A little variety in shot shell too
GuiarGodCole Me a single barrel
I'm a Remington 870 kind of guy.
But honestly, AR-15's are so damned cheap now a days.
Overall I agree with this list. I like the idea of an older jacket that can also be a blanket. I would agree that this list can be modified for individual needs. Personally, rope - to tie a load down or help if you get stuck. I like to carry a blanket - cover seats or trunk area for hauling things, picnic/beach blanket/keep you warm. I carry an extra shirt to change on the fly. A towel for drying off or cleaning up vehicle. Great job on videos Antonio...keep it up. Ed
I like the list. It’s one of the best ones I have seen out on youtube, but there are a few things I would personally add and upgrade.
Add:
Coolant
Motor oil
A good quality portable air compressor, like the Viar 85P
Breaker bar or telescopic breaker bar with a socket for your lug nut
Tire pressure gauge
Headlamp
Crescent wrench
Reflective roadside warning triangle
Also, upgrade to a smaller compact jump starter like the one from Anker. The compact jump starter can also charge your cell phone, if you have a usb charger. Ditch the measuring tape and leveler for sure.
Loved it. I grew up without a dad. My mom never thought to teach me this stuff. I have two sons and two daughters. I need to get this training to them. THANK YOU!
+Patrick Johnson You should! You're welcome. Good to have you here!
As another good vloger said, Best place to store water is your belly. Dont wait for an emergency then realize your dehydrated. Stay hydrated always. Help them brain juices lol.
also if you have to tell a man that he needs ductape in his car...sigh it may already be too late.
I have the JNC 660 Jump n Carry as well. It was expensive but it is by far the most reliable tool I have every purchased... it sat for a year in my shed and when I had to jump start my tractor in sub freezing temperatures it was stilled charged... That was three years ago and it still holds a charge...
+Jim Brent Sounds great! That's good to add on the list.
3:23 if you don't know what jumper cables are........
turn in your 'man card'
+Patrick Wagz Easy - Google it :)
Forget the 'man card', turn in your 'adult card'!
I put small orange cones just incase I break down on the side of the highway at night just for that little bit of extra visibility. I also keep shovles incase I where to get stuck in the snow during the winter. Other then that I always keep everything else you said in there as well.
I like to keep a 12 volt air compressor and tire plug kit in my car. Its small enough but it will pump most car tires. SUV and light truck tires might require a few minutes rest to cool down. the compressor is about 30 bucks and the tire plug kit is about 10 (ball park) and can be picked up at any wal-mart in the auto section. My compressor's brand is "slime" which is the same brand as the tire plug kit. I've used both of those about 10 times a year on my car and many friends cars. I met the gorgeous girl im dating by knowing how to change her tire that was ballooning out and I became her hero. ALL MEN NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PLUG AND CHANGE A TIRE!!! Take care y'all!
One thing we carry in our Iroc-z camaro is a mini air compressor that goes in the 12 volt outlet it can take a while to fill up a tire but you never know when it can be needed also helps if you leave your cars sitting a lot like we do with that particular one. Great video!
+BZBEAST12 Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing :)
Antonio great list. I make sure that in my first-aid kit/trauma bag I have a tourniquet and a pressure bandage.
I also have in my trunk a fire extinguisher, 2 gallon water jug and an empty 1 gallon plastic gas can. Aside from the things on your list as well as the basic tools you mentioned I also have a hatchet, folding camp shovel, towing gear, road flares, zip ties, umbrella and 100 feet of rope. I also have spare change of clothes, good hiking boots and a small ready made backpack with the essentials to walk out of a wilderness situation (a bug out bag/get home bag). With regards to flashlights, I have a hand held one but I also have one of those head lamp lights (useful for changing a tire by yourself in the dark).
In the cabin, I have a pair of gloves and a poncho in the drivers door compartment. I also have a Resqme (Quick Car Escape Tool) attached to my sun visor.
+StarWarsFreak2111 Wow solid list!
I've watched a ton of your videos, and I never you were a Marine! Semper Fi, brother!
+Mongoose Yes, I was. Semper FI!
There are still lots of things a real man would need in a car. By the time I check all the items on my list, I might as well tow a trailer with my things in it everywhere I go.
I think the best thing to carry in your vehicle is your knowledge of how to survive in the wild with just a pocket knife. Most importantly how to find food, water and shelter. Because if you're stranded in the wild, eventually you will need to leave your car and everything in it to find help. You'll be on your own because you're gonna have to leave everything behind to walk into and out of the wild to find help.
Water is the most important thing to check off first... Then shelter, then food.

Awesome videos for those who strive to be successful and rise to any challenge they may face.
+Dwalk22 boss :)
how often do you hit deers dude? hahaha
+Filippos Voulpiotis I think he does it on purpose haha
Welcome to Lapland, reindeers everywhere!
+Filippos Voulpiotis An estimated 1.23 million deer-vehicle collisions occurred in the U.S. yearly (according to State Farm Insurance) I have hit deer 2X, almost hit them about 20X in 8 years.
+Real Men Real Style fair enough bro, be careful though! nice channel btw keep it up ;)
+Real Men Real Style I would love to hit a deer! :)
one thing that should be on your top ten list especially in cold weather is survival candles you keep one or 2 in your vehicle at all times with a bic if you ever get stranded in really cold weather you light it inside the cab it warms it up allows you to either conserve fuel or if you're out of fuel its a great way to keep you warm for hours
A Multimeter is a great tool to have in your car to locate problems in your car, absolutely esential for any mechanic!
+Kristoffer Papica Perhaps!

The Black ops and the titanium look sleek and stylish, never seen anything like this before. Thanks Antonio for the Vids
so how is a person supposed to carry all this in a motorcycle!? also water is not good to carry in its plastic container.weathering will cause the plastic to release chemical's and mix with the plastic, put it in metal or aluminum container to store it it another harder safe plastic container.
Well I would add to those essential things you've listed:
- Gloves - absolutely essential (somebody in the comments already mentioned those)
- 10ft of metal wire or metal tape (and alternative to gaffer tape - sometimes better for solid provisional fixes on parts that are hard to stick to but easy to tie)
- rope. always have rope. thin rope, thick rope, TOWING ROPE
- small flat shovel for digging yourself out of sand/mud
- a sturdy hand wire saw (takes little space, can be a life-saver)
- spare materials for your car: lightbulbs, electrical fuses. especially the latter ones one tends to easily forget and have a huge problem when they snap.
And the more circumstantial stuff:
- tire chains (when it's snowy) - though you do list them as add-ons I'd say that it's easy to forget them so better have them in advance
- a wedge - for parking on a slope when going hillside
+SGresponse You got it - I've included most on this list: www.realmenrealstyle.com/10-emergency-tools/
In my country we're actually legally obligated to carry a fire extinguisher, reflective road vest, first aid kit and spare light bulbs :)
+Ventsislav Simonov but no spare tire? but yeah I feel sorry for you, thats gonna get expensive and annoyting to mount fire extinguisher to every car.
+roossi Is there a car nowadays without a spare tire? :D A car fire extinguisher costs about $20 so its not a big deal.
+Ventsislav Simonov My BMW doesn't have a spare. I carry a can of fix a flat. Inflate it and go. To the nearest Discount tire.
tomoth77
It doesn't have a place to put a spare tire or you chose not to have one with you? You could also go with run-flat tires and don't care at all.
+Ventsislav Simonov kia soul doesn't have one... ask me how I know
just one thing that would go along with knowing what you have is knowing how to use it. I'm the kind of person that likes to do stuff myself so what I do is every 3 months when my oil change comes up I will do that but also rotate all 5 tires (including the spare to give even tread wear) but I do it with just the tools I keep in my truck so there is no doubt when I need to change a flat I wont have any problems. same with the first aid kit if you have supplies to help with major blood loss then learn to use them or it won't be anywhere near as effective. BTW great list I'm glad to see I had everything you mentioned in some form. one last item to consider is if you live In a state that has snow storms in the winter a small folding shovel will fit behind your seat or in the trunk and its definitely better then using your hands if you get stuck.
+Justin Dodge That's definitely useful for snow storms.
Wow... No fire extinguisher!? That'd be #1 on my list
+Dino Prašo call the firefighters
+Perry Kiddo That's a stupid comment, they wont get there in time to save your car getting gutted if a fire starts, they wont get there in time if a car crashes and your first on the scene with them trapped inside and its on fire..... Think harder.
Brad Hastedt exactly... that same argument applies to carrying a gun.
Some water bottles can work as well
The spare wallet with a bit of cash and a spare credit card is a wonderful idea !
It's true one always wonder about few coins and, in case of running low on fuel, one can always be sure to afford a few gallons until reaching home.
Thanks !

#11 a secret cell with all the hookers contacts inside
All good points for everyday situations. I drive across Canada twice a year basically coast to coast and its always during Winter. I even have a 340L slip tank full of gas on my F150. Fire extinguishers are a neccessity too. I go through Northern Ontario and theres no cell coverage for hours upon hours so i also have a CB... Truckers can be a life saver in isolated places... I pack so much for any situation I had to put airbags in my truck to level it out. Over cautious? Maybe, but I've been stuck in some horrible blizzards and have helped out a fellow motorist here and there even its its 20L of gas or an MRE to help them out because traffic is stopped and you can't move. Oh and yes.... I carry a shotgun too.
Instead of an expired ID. I keep an state issued "Identification Card" (Typically given to minors) which is a legally separate card that can be valid at the same time as a driver's licenses.
Note: in the state of California the photo **MUST** be different from your driver's license photo. so if you pay for both a new driver's licenses and get an ID card the same day, make sure they take two photos otherwise they will only process the driver's license.
I'm so thankful for your channel, thank you for having made all these videos going well beyond clothing. It's no wonder you make all the money you do on youtube and it makes me want to put out some good videos too.
Personally, I don't think having a spare car key on the car is a very good idea. I carry a spare key with me separate from my main set of keys. I keep one set of keys in my front pocket and a spare set in my back pocket. It works out well for me.
Always carry a towel or two and a washcloth and a extra set of a casual outfit in a small drawstring bag

1. A hunter knife
2. A Desert Eagle

6. An AR-15

A gun needs to be on this list.. You are no man if you cannot protect your family against a carjacker, terror attack or just a madman in general.. and in todays world, thats becoming alot more likely to happen.
i guess in USA you can do that unfortunately in UK we wouldnt be allowed ;(
USA =/= World
Seatbelt cutter and glass breaking hammer usually are all in one tools and I have also seen a few of them that also include a tire pressure gauge. If you use a belt cutter words of advise and even once got to practice for myself and works cut the belt on a diagonal angle not 90 degree perpendicular right angle.
hand crankable flashlights are better in my opinion. Light is important and if a battery fails on you, that can be pretty devastating. A lighter is arguably even more useful, since it can be a source of heat as well as light.
Personally, I'd have replaced the full-sized tool kit with rope or duct tape. You can turn duct tape into rope, but rope is re-usable and easier to store. Depending on your climate, a small tarp could replace the jacket. A tarp can serve as a blanket, a tent, a water-catcher (in the rain), it can block off a broken window, a caste for a broken limb, a way to gain traction when stuck in ice, a way to carry many objects, and many other purposes.
Assuming you're in an area with reception, the average smartphone could effectively replace the need for a spare key, spare tire, jumper cables, flash light, and map. Obviously not as quick and convenient as having those things, but it helps. Keep in mind - even un-registered cell phones can dial 911.
+Peter Schmidt Good suggestions sir! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
How does a smart phone replace jumper cables?
tylerisdevine You can call someone (or a service like AAA) to help jump you instead.
Thanks Antonio. These are great ideas, as usual. I am always looking forward to your videos.
+Vishal Mody Awesome! Thank you sir.
the title should be stuff to keep in your car for a zombie apocalypse
I watched a video on Buzzfeed about car hack. Get a laundry basket and keep all or most of that stuff in the trunk, tends to keep everything organized and prevents it from getting jumbled all over the place. It's pretty awesome. Also get a cereal container and either get a shopping bag or garbage bag and then you have an instant trash can in you car. Just some things to have on deck guys. 😊
I would put two hundred dollars in that wallet. The spare expired license is a great idea.
what if you stole your sold car... that would be illegal!!!
1: a few gallons of water and a gallon of concentrated anti freeze
2: a full ratchet set with a full wrench set (metric & standard)
3: motor oil
4: transmission fluid
5: a spare belt (fitted to your car)
6: first aid kit (nothing fancy just common supply's)
7: cheap blankets/jackets ( if you get stuck in a snow storm or don't prefer to lay on the ground to work under your vehicle)
8: flashlight
9: vehicle repair guide ( only $30 or so for all general repair guides)
10: a good tow strap( in my case I got a old logging chain just make sure it's strong enough to pull your vehicle)
+Jon Schafer Solid comment!
A spare key? Seriously? So if someone steals your car, he has the key to start it. Great idea.
+Tigrre Ampulch I know this is old but if he stole your car then he already started it. Dumbass!
Great list
I always carry a tire plug kit as we get nails or screws from time to time. I don't carry an air pump but I always find air. We too have a spare tire. But sometimes it's hard to find a tire shop and they charge $20 for one plug, so the kit pays for itself.
Do you watch Parks & Recreation? It is an excellent show. You remind me somewhat of Chris Treger.

I would add a heated blanket with a battery that can output to it. I recently heard about someone in NYC that froze to death in their car during a snowstorm. A heated blanket can help make sure that that doesn't happen to you. Something that can protect you from sun exposure is also a good idea, but the heated blanket can do that if you don't plug it in. Alternatively, you can go with an insolated blanket. Those tend to be easier to find than the alternative.
Old phone would be good because it still could call 911 for you
Wise!
Antonio.... Preparation meeting opportunity.... Wow nice work.... Keep up the good work!
1) Nice idea, you may not be able to start a car though unless you get a key with immobilizer transponder and get it coded.
2) Spare or at least tire sealer.
3) yes
4) What the heck ;) Just replace your battery.... Nice to have a set when it is like -20 degrees outside, but otherwise carrying it year round is pointless. Protip: In cities you can call a taxi for a jump start, it's cheaper than set of those cables. Also most of the jumper cables are absolute crap and the good ones cost a lot.
5) That's a regular jacket... Good idea but it is always good to carry actual high visibility jacket.
6) With modern cars a toolkit is mostly useless, you can barely fix anything on a side of the road. A multitool is enough. In older cars you can do an engine rehaul stranded on a freeway ;)
7) One, maybe two bottles are enough, why carry eight?! Are we talking about expeditions like few hundered kilometers from nearest civilisation? BTW: Biscuits are great "emergency food", they do not rot, melt or freeze.
8) Small LED flashlight is way more handy and will last longer on battery, unless you want to double its function as a baton...
9) Like WTF? Keeping a wallet with active credit card and personal data in a vehicle? Is this video serious or just a joke?
10) Just download an offline map and carry a charger for your phone, most people do have those items already in car.
+mibars He has eight water bottles because he has kids.
I have fixed plenty of crap on my car with a tool kit like that one (but one with wrenches).
$7 jumper cables from Wal-Mart work just fine, I've jumped several vehicles with mine.
"Keeping a wallet with active credit card and personal data in a vehicle? Is this video serious or just a joke?" Really, you keep your registration and your proof of insurance in your car, it has the same info.
Downloading a map takes up a lot of space and only works for a certain area. Plus phones can get broken and are not usually water proof.
Great article Antonio . It's just turning cold here in the UK and you have just reminded me to check my kit and add to it. Thanks.
+Jeff Woodcock You're welcome Jeff! :)

Keep a small tarp that’s brightly coloured and some paracord. If you’re in mud of whatever and need to change a tyre it’ll keep you relatively clean/dry and you’ll be a little more visible to passing vehicles that you’re there. It could also be a makeshift shelter by the side of the motorway if its super hot/sunny or raining and you and the family have to wait for hours to be recovered. If you buy a med kit, check it’s actually got adequate supplies for most outcomes. Carry a head torch over a flashlight, or both. You can also get waterproof and magnetic work lights that’ll clip to your vehicle.

A few months ago in Ireland a whole family died when their jeep slipped down/off a pier and they couldn't open the electric windows. (It was something like that, I'm not 100% sure of the details).
From then on I've always made sure that my car, my friends car and my parents' cars have those little seatbelt cutter/window breaker tools.
They cost like maybe €5-10 and they could save your life.
That incident I mentioned was all over the news for about a week so I hope it made others think of ways to stay safer in their cars.

+Jason Harris I completely agree and it depends where you live but basically, these 10 items are the essentials you need :)

+Driton Rustemi Good addition - I need gloves in my truck!!
Thanks for posting this. This is very helpful.
#11. Gun
I live in Ukraine, we have snowy winters here, so I keep an old soviet sapper shovel left from my grandpa. Very useful when you got stuck in snow or sand on camping. It's very sharp, so I also use it as an axe on camping, or to engulf fire or even as a weapon, cause you never know.
a loaded pistol for signalling, self defense and hunting
+Bart Van Riel And starting races!
Real Men Real Style good one!
Thank you for all of your videos and hard work. I have all of those items plus you may want to include: Older gym clothes & sneakers (based on your videos, I don't think anyone wants to do a car repair in a suit and $300 shoes), rubber gloves, extra fluids and paper towels. PS you can upgrade your old mag with LED bulbs.
He left out hand gun!
Don't leave home without one!
Good suggestions. You've convinced me to add a little more to my trunk to prepare for the unexpected. Your tool kit is lacking though. Having the right socket or wrench can be a difference between an inconvenience and ruining your night
