Tacticool Tuesday - What's in your vehicle?

BOV Kit lists are numerous and fairly redundant.  They do what they are suited to do.  The amount of time we spend in and around our vehicles is staggering.  About.com compiled the US Census data that suggests that the average American driver spends over 100 hours behind the wheel each year.  The AAA adds some more math to calculate it out further as to age, location, and certain occupational concerns.  Bottom line is that Americans are finding themselves with their vehicles more, and now we have a crumbling infrastructure to contend with along with more cars, (and more jackasses), being on the road.

It is a wonder we get anywhere sometimes.

Despite your focus, rural, urban or suburban, every car needs to have some sort of blowout kit to handle life's imponderables.  A good IFAK is just big enough to store beneath a seat but big enough to handle a lot of the first responder issues of controlling bleeding and maintaining breathing.  The IFAK is good, especially when coupled with a small, cheap range bag that is packed with other essential gear, more ammo, water, whatever; you get the idea.

In doing some research for some other bit of Tacticool that I found on a facebook auction site, I ran across this little gem that looks promising as a quick reaction bag for really bad days on the road:

But you say, "Matthew, why the hell would I need an active shooter kit in my Grocery Getter"?  Well check out the second video and I think you can see the utility a little better.

 

 

It makes a little more sense now as a fairly useful, and completely accessible system.  The only problem that I see in this is keeping the spouse and kids from stripping it of batteries, meds, band aids, or chemlights.

 

I can't help you there.
