today I wanted to jump in for our warrior tip Wednesday where I go live
every single week with a new self-defense tip or new way that you can
better protect your family Who am I well my name is Meredith Rines
I'm an independent damsel pro with damsel in defense we are a company built
for women our admission is simple it is to equip women with self-defense tools
educate women on how to use those tools and empower them so that they can better
protect their family if a need arises today I don't want to talk necessarily
about self-defense tools I want to talk about roadside emergency kits this is a
kit that is desperately needed in every single vehicle across the United States
you never know when something that is gonna have it and when you walk out in
your car won't start when you get a flat tire when you need a screwdriver for
something you never know when something is going to happen and you need to be
better prepared so we have a product that is one of our best selling products
it is called the junk in the trunk it is cute it is simple it comes in a
really cute little case like this that you can easily throw into the back of
your car and know that if something happens you are better protected and can
get yourself out of a situation and you don't necessarily have to wait on the
side of the road for help to arrive especially when the roads are getting
slicker and though it's getting darker earlier and it's just plain cold out so
I want to go through with you real fast what all isn't included in the junk in
the trunk so that way you can get one for yourself
and get one for your friends get one for your family if you have any children
that were that are now starting to drive or go away to college this is a must
must must must my dad at years ago put together something similar on his own it
had me carry it in my car and I carried that sucker in my car until that plastic
tote literally disintegrated it fell apart it shattered but now it comes in a
handy kit so that way it won't fall apart it will stay together and it will
stay is compact in your car to take up less room so let's get into it so when
you open up this front pocket here this is where your first aid kit lives so you
have a first aid kit it's got sanding it's got alcohol pads it's got gauze
pads and it even has like a butterfly closure
band-aid for those deeper cuts so this is something that as a mom I highly
suggest you have a first aid kit in your car at all times you never know when
your kids can hurt themselves you never know when your husband is gonna hurt
themselves and you need to be better prepared by having at least a small
first-aid kit so I have this first-aid kit in my junk of the trunk and I have
owned I've added a few extra band-aids because I am a mom of a toddler every
time he gets a scraper cut or something even if there's not really a boo-boo
there he still wants a band-aid for it so I have thrown in a few extra
band-aids in here because I go through them so much so this is something that I
highly recommend that you have in your car next up it does have a another
pocket right here on the front side and when you open this up this is where all
of your other is included this is where everything else is in here
so you do come it comes with two rain ponchos rain ponchos are extremely
important if you've never changed a flat tire in the rain then you don't
understand how amazing everything poncho is because trust me you're gonna want
something you're gonna want something that protects you and just makes it a
little easier for you to work if it is pouring down rain
what's great is Earths comes in this bright blue color so that way it makes
it easier for you to be seen if you are on the side of the road but next up we
do have two emergency blankets again this is the time of year where you need
to make sure that your family is protected a few weeks ago I talked about
winter travel tips and how we always include a blanket in our car to help
keep us warm but if you are gonna be stranded for a longer period of time and
it is really cold it's getting dark out you need more than just your fuzzy ninja
turtle blanket to keep your kid warm you need something a little bit heavier a
little bit more suited for the cold so this is the emergency blanket it will
there's two of them in here it is big enough to cover up you and another
person so that way you can have you know two or three people covered at all times
it comes with gloves so these gloves are perfect if you are needing to change up
tie your tire attached jumper cables check something under your hood you
should keep your hands protected because the last thing you want to do is you
want to pick up something and get dirt and grime on your hands and then have to
go hey deal and handle your your small child or get them a sack or something
like that you want to make sure that you are protecting them by protecting your
hands what's great about these gloves is they do have that rubber grip or on here
so that way if it is cold if it is rainy if it's wet outside you can at least
still grip to change that flat tire to attach to those jumper cables or to do
something with your car that you can do it a lot easier because your hands won't
be cold it won't be hard to grip you'll be better protected
it comes with an ice scraper it is a smaller ice scraper but it's really all
you need if you are in a sticky situation and you know to get yourself
home from work or you or you know went to the store and you now come out and
it's been ice or sleeting and you got to clean off your windshield to drive home
this is the perfect tool it even comes with the soft grip on here so that way
you can better grip it when it is cold outside it comes with an emergency
whistle if you have never needed an emergency what's all good but this is
great to have especially if you ever slide off into a ditch and you're trying
to get some attention you know that they're looking for you or out looking
and they can't quite see you because it is so dark out this is a great tool to
have to help get a you know attention drawn your way so that you can be found
it also includes a hidden compartment here so you can put some money maybe a
car key in here as well if you have to go you know walk or anything like that
you can have your hands-free it does have a compass on the top so that way if
you you know know how to get out of directions and you know you need to head
north east you can easily do that and finally it has the lanyard on it so that
way you can wear it around your neck and not have to worry about holding it or
putting into a pocket pocket you can easily have your hands on it it comes
with our waterproof safety matches so this way if it is wet outside or it is
snowing outside you can still start a fire you can still start something to
keep you and your family warm it comes with a battery free LED
a flashlight which if you are like me are most people who have flashlights in
their car you probably forget to check the batteries to make sure that it is
still working this you don't have to worry about it is a handheld flashlight
all you have to do is use it and the flashlight works so what is recommended
is you see it's turned on I'm not doing anything with it and it is turned on so
that way you can have battery power without actually having batteries you
don't have to worry about dead batteries you don't have to worry about checking
your flashlight every couple weeks to make sure that is still working you
don't have to worry that that one time your toddler played with it he
accidentally left it on because that's happened to me so you could have a
flashlight to see better to change that flat tire to check under the hood to
find something that's got lost in the car even because if you have kids then
you are very well aware when they can't find their favorite toy you don't leave
until you find that favorite toy it comes also with a set of quick tools so
you have here a Philips screwdriver and it comes with a pair of pliers as well
so that is something else it comes in this kit it also has a tire pressure
gauge in the kit as well if you don't normally are on a routine basis check
your tire pressure you really should do that especially whenever the weather
changes from warm to cold or hot to cold you really should check your tire
pressure on a routine basis because when it's hot out the air expands and your
tires will have more air in them or they seem like they have more air in it and
then when it's cold that air constricts and it you might need to add a little
bit more air to your tires to reach the ideal tire pressure level and if you're
not sure white tire pressure you should have in your car you can look that up in
the book that it comes with every car in your glove box which most of us probably
have never really read or you can just google it but you should make sure that
you are driving on a flat normal air pressure levels within all four tires so
that you don't accidentally put extra extra wear on any of your tires but grab
this make sure that you are have that tire pressure gauge in your
especially just for when it turns really cold out that way you can make sure that
you if you're going to drive long distance you have the right tire
pressure in your car so that all goes in this side of the kit and it has elastic
to keep it all organized and straight so that it's not all flying around and then
on the backside when you open this as well it comes with jumper cables so you
have jumper cables in the back so that way they're not smashing or you know
give me anything else dirty but jumper cables are a great thing to have now
even if it's not for you personally your car is working fine but if you come out
late at night and your co-workers car isn't starting now you can be the hero
you could help start their car you could help send them on the way jumper cables
are great tools you have to have some in your car I highly recommend always
carrying them not just in the winter just always have a pair of jumper cables
in your trunk if you are not sure how to use jumper cables because you want to
make sure that you hook them up correctly so that way if you go to start
the car that won't start it won't backfire it won't hurt the other engine
and won't tear up your car or anything like that so make sure you have
instructions I don't know how to use jumper cables if you've never really
used those and you can keep those in this bag with it as well and that's it
this is everything that comes into this kit it's super handy to have you can
look at that you can grab it on our website I hope you have a very great
week and I will see you next week with another warrior tip Wednesday
