I used to think so too until The last two or three newer cars that I’ve had. On my Chevy Trax, The headrests don’t even come out. Same with a few other cars that I’ve had. It’s always good to have a window breaker tool, And a seatbelt cutter, and make sure it’s a good one… And just have it in the car just in case. Depending on the emergency, you might not be able to get your head rests out even if they do come out, and honestly, having one of those window breaking tools as long as they work properly, is much easier and more preferable. They’re small and much more easily accessible if you keep them in your glove compartment or wherever.

There are a million ways it seems to start a fire why use such a valuable asset to boil water for a day since you are only limited to the amount you can contain usually a 1 maybe two bottles. A flare could do what you say sure but is that wise, no. Knowing a BIC lighter or 100 other means of making a fire and some sticks can do the same its not worth it.

Radiator stop leak and the headgasket in a can by the same company I believe are great at what they do. Stopping the leak. Meaning stopping the flow of water or at least minimizing it. However I have had friends who have used this stuff and overheated and cooked an engine with this stuff. It is a great product but if you need to use more than a bottle of one of them then just consider calling a tow for your wallets sake. Also an addition muffler putty will stop a leak in a radiator. We tore a gash in my radiator while moving the car the wrong way and we fixed it with muffler puddy and it worked for the ride home

For the emergency hammer/glass breaker, they should be within hands reach from the driver. If you are involved in a crash and want to use them yourself you might be pinned in position by the seat belt (and this might be tensioned by the seat belt tensioning device). Also the hammers don't work under water for that you need a spring loaded one, you can get some small ones like the resqme that you can keep on you car keys so they are within hands reach.

DO NOT use Radiator Stop Leak ever, I repeat... EVER. Not only does it find your pinhole and close it up, but it also works its way through your entire coolant system. This can cause the Stop Leak to get clogged within your engine trapping parts of it off from coolant. This can cause the engine to overheat, and most of the time it is not fixable. The motor is kaput.

I have used kitty litter. It has bentonite in it. It works pretty good for soaking stuff up but it can get slimy and really nasty in water. Instead I like to carry sawdust with me. It is lighter than kitty litter, It works better as a traction aid in the winter, It soaks up oil and is biodegradable. If it gets damp it does not turn into a slimy mess. Down side is it can be flammable. Of course if you need to start a fire that could be a good thing I suppose. Use it to soak up some spilled or unspilled oil and it makes starting a fire really easy. Just another option to consider that can help keep the weight down.

One of the church Elders stood up and stated that it will be a bit more financial struggle for the congregation to assist the Minister’s family, but it will work out. The Pastor stood up and thanked the congregation for their acceptance and understanding, and concluded by saying, Children are a gift from God”. The resident old spinster stood up and proclaimed loudly and in ernest, “Rain to, is a gift from God, but when it rains so much, you use RUBBERS.” “Just sayin’” the spinster said.

Some forward-thinking shop owning or mobile service mechanics (or seasoned preppers) should think about holding free or low-cost ($30-$50?) 1 - 2 hour long seminars at a library, church meeting room, or community center to give these sorts of preventative, emergency, and maintenance tips or how to build a custom XYZ kit. Including or going over must-have new/standby gadgets, beneficial additives to buy at the auto supply store, core tools, plus a "hands-on" overview or live demonstration in the parking lot with an actual vehicle would be a bonus. Something like this can even be a joint venture lunch-and-learn with a restaurant, caterer, or hall that rents event space. A Zoom or Go to Meeting webinar would be a twist or addition. I attended one webinar recently that included a field in the online sign-up form asking what core question the attendee has on the topic being presented. That was smart. Different / separate seminar sessions or built-in segments can include buying and selling a used car and dealing with mechanics and repair shops when bringing your vehicle in. Insider knowledge and tips in this and other areas are gold, builds trust, a future clientele, AND a marketable email list. It would be good to plan specific sessions geared towards women, seniors, teenager / parents / new drivers (joint venture opportunity with driving schools) and, of course, the general public. It's totally unmined territory that automotive pros can bank on. There's one mobile mechanic I follow on Instagram out of Staten Island as well as another who share the jobs they are working on and briefly explain why something looks or acts the way it does, what they are doing to fix it, etc. I am no gearhead by ant stretch of the imagination, but I appreciate and value information shared by professionals that they keep up with the times and try to connect with and know their audience.

As a mechanic I would not use radiator stop leak. It's job is to plug holes and your cooling system is comprised of hundreds of small holes. Sometimes calling a wrecker (tow truck) is the most inexpensive thing to do.

excellent point. Cody did say to flush it out after you get home.

what if you have a radiator leak driving home from work in a snow storm. A lot of times the tow trucks are not avaliable because they are towing wrecked cars. I say this because I have driven in a snow storm and later heard all the tow trucks in the area were busy

One lesson I learned... have a small seperate kit that is NOT located in your truck bed tool box.... 2" of ice on the tool box and the tool box being locked led to a crappy experience.... :D

in place of the glass breaker I bought a small $6 hand ax from Harbor freight and keep it under the front passenger seat.

Dont forget the fire distinguisher which you will need to use before the fire extinguisher, to make sure it really is a fire.

Cody, Cody, Cody I love this video.... You have me building on a kit like this from last winter 👍 I really enjoyed this one and loomi g forward to the next one. Like I said in a previous comment, being prepared is always key and like you just said I end up helping someone else more than I need the items for myself. 👌👌👌👌
