Most car emergency kits were built by people who've never sat alone in a broken-down car at night. Yours needs to do more than keep you warm — it needs to keep you safe. Here's the car kit that actually matters for a woman driving alone: the safe-warm-help rule, the eight items that work with no skill, and the one rule that protects you while you wait. In this video:

• The three jobs your kit has to do (and what to leave out)
• The eight non-negotiable items
• The water, snack, and "don't open the door" rule
• Where it lives in your car, and the twice-a-year refresh

Security isn't a luxury; it's a strategy — and that starts in your trunk. If you're getting ready for whatever's next, like, subscribe, and follow. I make this for you!
