DH and I were driving with the kids to a very small town out near our place today. We ended up going along the wrong road and going to the wrong tiny town, lol. But the thing is, we live in a small rural town as it is and to drive out to anywhere is hours away. This drive should have taken us an hour on a dirt road. But since we turned onto the wrong road, it was a 2 hour trip before we got to the next town. So it got me thinking (being the panic merchant drama queen I am) what resources I had in my car in case we broke down. And I came up with pretty much nothing!
Because I had assumed DH knew where he was going I hadn't packed anything like water or snacks. DH was rushing me and we wanted to get to this place by midday-ish for lunch. We have just brought this car as well so I have not stocked it with anything like panadol, bandaids, tissues or anything like that, we don't even have a first aid kit. DH put a towel in the back of the car, and I had the baby bag stocked with nappies and clothes for the kids, but that was it! So if we had an accident or broke down we really would be up s*** creek. Especially since we often have no mobile coverage either.
So what stuff do you have in your car JIC?
