You would be surprised how often someone needs a jump or a pull back up on the road.I drive 100-300 miles one way to the VA year around. My day may start out cold and windy and then find the freeway closed on the way home due to weather or an accident. My Lab and I can stay warm and dry in the van without running the engine and have something to eat and drink while we're waiting for things to improve. Heres one most people never think about, a spare tire WITH air in it. I don't know how many times I made an extra dollar in high school when I was pumping gas by asking if they wanted the spare checked too. I always over inflate my spare tires 10 pounds or so. I can always let air out but it's a bitch to put it back in if you need it.Just went out and looked in the van, I forgot the hatchet, dozen 45 min road flares, tools, 2 packs of wet wipes and phone charger.</blockquote>
