MPT1 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Further to the discussion on carrying a knife etc in your car, the reason mostly given is " I might need to cut a seat belt" How many of us carry fire extinguishers, first aid kits, blankets or warning signs?

Billy. Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Further to the discussion on carrying a knife etc in your car, the reason mostly given is " I might need to cut a seat belt" How many of us carry fire extinguishers, first aid kits, blankets or warning signs? I've got a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. Not a bad buy for £8.99 off eBay, I'm sure you'll agree. Oh and I have the knives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusta Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 The only piece of safety equipment I have in the car is a Life Hammer: http://www.lifehammer.com It allows you to smash the windows quickly if you end up in a pond, its a must!

Gobfish Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Fire extinguisher, blanket, first aid kit, warning triangle, large torch, 4 flourescent/reflective tabards and a spare bulb kit. If you read the requirements for driving across to France (and you're rich enough to buy some Euro's) legally you have to have most of these on board, so I just leave them in a cubby hole in the back of the car PS having just re-read my own post.... Bizarre that the exact circumstances in which I leave all that stuff in the back of my 4WD, on a just in case basis, if a penknife were included amongst it, it would leave me in the mire !!!

MC Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) I have two first aid kits (one for humans and one for animals) and a fire extinguisher, There is normally a knife or two in there but seeing as they are opinels I probably couldn't find one when I actually needed it. I also have a towing strop and shackles, gloves, torch etc. Edited April 22, 2010 by MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Tow rope, hazard triangle, small first aid kit, usual tools, small extinguisher and a mobile phone. I am not qualified to do much in the safety/first aid area, apart from apply commonsense. I think its as important to get someone there much more qualified than me. However, if Kent Militia is passing I would let him cut up all the seat belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
