Appendectomies can wait. A pocket knife and a pen barrel will let you
do a roadside tracheotomy if the victim can't breathe. Also useful for
choking diners. It's very quick and simple and nearly anyone can do it.

lawyers behind every tree.

Besides which, you never know when you'll be asked to do an emergency

I also keep a couple pairs of surgical gloves in the trunk as well. Helps
to keep the hands clean and protected.

I would add to that list at least one pair of disposable painters
coveralls, the kind made of Tyvex? [not sure spelling is correct, but it
is a white material that is slick and nearly impervious to everything]
Less than $10 at Wallymart and other places, folded in the original
package
take up very little space, and give you coverage from top to bottom from
what ever nasties you have to get into, are available large enough to fit
over warm clothing if needed.
I like the idea of being dressed in all white if I'm at the side of the
road at night, also. It could perhaps alert the idiot texting while
driving just for an instant.
Just a thought.. I've been using them for a while as part of the "road
kit".

Hi folks,
I know we've had dozens of threads about roadside toolkits. Yesterday
evening I had a flat in the van, and realized three things I did not
have:
- some kind of impermeable ground covering,
- a grunge coat, and
- a decent jack.
Fortunately I kept the loss to the pants, but I spent a lot of time
worried
about my new coat!
The "decent jack" comment is probably specific to the van; the Ford
jack is
almost unusable in dirt. I've never had trouble with the official
Mercedes
jacks.
Best,
Tim
