The heat and humidity here ruins everything...and red ants like to eat, too.
I do keep kits ready to go, but I stay pretty close to home

In the family vehicles - not unless we are going on trips. There is just not enough room and too much potential for mess (we already keep a first aid kit, spare belt/tire/top off fluids, bag of 2-way radios, cb's, and who knows what else in the main family vehicle). Now when we get another conversion van (on our want list) that may change as there will be more room lol.
In my service truck I TRY (I'll forget from time to time)to keep extra water and dry snacks (on top of my lunch that I usually bring) for in case I get stuck somewhere or get hit by some hypoglycemia while working out in the middle of bfe. |
