my girlfriend thinks my road trip emergency kit is turning into a disaster checklist
We’re planning a long drive through a few remote stretches, and my girlfriend thinks I’m overpacking because I added a wolfbox to the usual tire inflator, flashlight, water, and basic tools. Her point is fair: the car is in good shape, the battery was tested recently, and too much emergency gear can make a vacation feel like I’m preparing for everything to go wrong. I had one dead battery morning at a motel years ago, though, and it changed how I think about being stranded somewhere with bad service. I also know using a jump pack as a phone charger can drain the thing before it’s needed for the car, which makes the multi-use part a little complicated. For longer road trips, do you treat a compact starter as normal insurance, or only bring one for winter, older cars, or truly remote routes?
