It is in the car you drive most, which is exactly where it should be, and it does nothing at all for your daughter's first car or the truck your husband takes to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FirstMile is the answer to that. A small, one-person roadside kit at a price that lets you put one in every vehicle you own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is built for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ordinary roadside stop. A flat tire on a stretch of road with no shoulder. A battery that quits in a parking lot after dark. A wait for a tow that runs longer than the person on the phone suggested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt covers one person for that wait. Light, warmth, something to eat, and a way to be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2,400-calorie food bar\u003c\/strong\u003e with a three to five year shelf life, no heating or preparation needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree 4 oz water pouches,\u003c\/strong\u003e sealed and rated for years of trunk temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst aid supplies\u003c\/strong\u003e for small cuts: adhesive bandages, gauze pads, and antiseptic wipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 LED squeeze flashlight\u003c\/strong\u003e that runs on hand power, so there is no battery to check, replace, or find dead when you need it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrange HELP flag\u003c\/strong\u003e to hang in your window, so a passing trooper or plow driver knows you need assistance rather than guessing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmergency whistle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmergency blanket\u003c\/strong\u003e for warmth while you wait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBeing plain about what this covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FirstMile holds about twelve ounces of water. That is right for a few hours by the side of the road, and it is not a three-day supply for anyone. Ready.gov, FEMA's preparedness campaign, puts a full day at one gallon per person, which is more than any glove box kit can carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo this is a kit for one person and one incident.

Replace the food and water if they are past date, and put back anything you have used.
