The following is assuming you have kept up your vehicles maintainence and have it prepared for a trip.
When you are going to be making a trip via your vehicle, what do you have with you in case of mechanical breakdown or becoming lost in a remote area. From living in SF and concern for earthquakes, I started and have been carrying a small survival kit in the trunk of my car and behind the rear seat of my pickup truck. These kits contain (IIRC) medical supplies such as bandages, guaze, telfa pads, iodine, calamine, benadryll. In addition, there is water and food for two days, thermal blanket, flares, matches, knife, insect repellent wipes, flashlight and solar/windup emergency radio receiver. I check the batteries for the flashlight regularly and keep track of the dates on the wate and food. I may never need these items but they do not take up much space and offer a little security.
