With my job I drive a lot of miles so I am working to develop / refine my car bag. I will post pictures and list everything that I currently have in the bag as well as list items that I am planning to add in the near future.
My goal is to have a dedicated car bag that is never removed from the car and has essentials for emergencies that I may encounter while traveling.
Please shoot me any pointers you may have. Let me know what I am missing, what I have but don't need, what I need less of or more of etc etc...

Several safety pins

(4) small binder clips
Being that I am often wearing dress or business casual clothes I also keep my Merrel MOAB's and a pair of jeans in the trunk.
Items that I have listed to add: please make suggestions here on what and where to acquire items
Whistle
Water filtration system (suggestions?)
Map

Bug repellent
Crank Radio, solar, charger
Zip ties
Fleece cap

I am not opposed to acquiring a new bag if you believe one may be a better fit than my Rush 12. I am also working on an EDC bag that will be a smaller bag that is more minimalistic in scope, potentially better suited for my mild hiking trips that would accommodate a secondary firearm to my EDC G19 that I carry on body. If there is a pair of bags that fit both of these roles but in certain situations could be attached to one another and efficiently carried, I would be interested in that.
Thanks for reading guys. I look forward to hearing your advice.
