Tofino Car Emergency Kit

An Emergency Car Kit is not only a good preparation for a major emergency situation but also for minor car incidents where you may have to wait for help. We live in a cool and often wet climate. Be prepared for those conditions. Matches will help but what will you light from them - wet wood? Carry candles as well to light which will give you a sense of comfort while helping you start and maintain a fire.

Tip
We throw our car kit gear into a handy bag and keep in the back of the car. That way when we need something from our kit it will be all together and we'll know exactly where to find it.

Long trip? - decided to drink the water and eat the snacks out of your kit? - remember to replace them so when you need them they'll be there.

Print this Tofino Emergency Car Kit list.
We suggest that you print the list and check off each item as you pack it or highlight each item and then it will be easy to see at a glance what items are not highlighted and still need to be added.
