  1. I’m confused about using the 350 watt inverter to power the 12volt mini-compressor. I have a small compressor that connects directly to the battery. Did I miss something? I also carry a bicycle tire pump and have used it successfully. It’s definitely no fun, though.

    Thanks,

    Wayne

  2. Wayne,

    as far as inverter discussions go, the below model is an excellent one. It is so small it fits about anywhere in your car, and has the flexibility of providing power to both charge your cell phone or any other USB cable devices, and run your freezer, while your vehicle is running. Pushing 350 to 400 watts or more through your cigarette plug in tends to blow those pesky little fuses, so get the model with short cables with clamps that attach directly to a car battery.

    And get a separate cigarette plug-in air tire pump. After a year in Montana, it was the first thing I bought after I I became a responsible husband. Sometimes you can find decent ones on sale for 5 bucks each (get two or three, in that case). I know you were asking about the article, but hope my comment here is useful for your planning.

    Phoenix, thanks so much for the great tips. I just got a couple items to add to my Christmas list from your recommendations, and reminded of great eye exercises to help vision. Thank you so much!

    Best wishes and God Bless

  3. I think Wayne’s point was that the passage seems to indicate that you need the inverter to operate the air compressor. By definition, 12 volt compressors work off the cigarette plug and don’t need an inverter.

  4. Having a folder with directions to/from your home in your vehicle is a bad idea. This type of plan should be committed to memory or kept encrypted electronically.

  5. As well, evac routes and rally points should be secure information, not available to anyone searching your rig. Be a shame to point the same trash that ambushed you and took your stuff to places where they could do the same to those you care about.

  6. I have several low cost single blade folding knives (work knives) with sheaths and cheap lighters in my car. For my use or as trade material. I also keep a 50ft roll of 1/4″ braided nylon line. This tucks in real well around the spare tire in the trunk. I changed out the mini-spare for a full size one the 1st chance I could. The spare tire well can be use to store a lot of things if you are creative and pack things right. This way you still have the trunk space and things are out of sight

  7. If everybody is so concerned about flat tires go ahead and upgrade to a floor jack, about 25% of your flats are going to be something you can’t repair. A 100.00 floor jack will take most of the pain out of changing a tire. Also carry 2 spares.

  8. That made me realize how much items lying around that are actually very useful than what they are designed for. I just finished building my own toolbox at the bed of the truck with the bed cover from 4WheelOnline on the way to keep the rest of the items dry at the back of the truck. Now I got some good space for more items and other survival gear.
