I've got maybe two of the things on the list below in my truck. I'm going to work on putting the rest in there this week.

Here's a list of the '15 Things You Should Always Keep in Your Vehicle.' 

1. Jumper cables.

2. Flashlight with extra batteries.

3. First aid kit.

4. Non-perishable food.

5 .Can opener.

6. At minimum three gallons of water per person.

7. Toolkit with a wrench, pliers and screwdriver.

8. Food and water for your pets.

9. A battery powered radio.

10. Kitty litter or sand to give your wheels better traction if you get stuck.

11. A shovel. It's especially important in the winter, in case you need to dig your car out of the snow.

12. An ice scraper.

13. Extra clothes.

14. A blanket or sleeping bag.

15. Your old cell phone, and make sure it has a charge. Even if it's deactivated, any cell phone can call 911.
