Yeah noted will be putting some more water in, I don't really ever tend to drive far so food wise i think some chocolate and cereal bars will be OK for my needs (will adjust for any further trips) .

Re: EDC kit for the car
I drive a works van at night and have been stuck in snow for 6 hours before now, so i always take a stainless steel flask of boiling water in the winter, even if i only use it to defrost my windows before i go home its worth having with me. I also have started carrying my crusader cook kit and a can of chaffing gel, it works fine (very safe to carry)and i can make coffee with it easily if i get stuck again.
I also have a 3 litre battle of water (as well as the crusader bottle and if winter the flask) so nearly 6 litres, dont forget you should have some water to put in the vehichle for the radiator and washers.
In the family 7 seater i have the same but have 5 litres instead of the 3.

Water is the one. A couple of mars bars etc will do. We can live without grub for 24 hours. Water we cannot.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Re: EDC kit for the car
Don't keep Mars Bar (or similar) in your car!!!
The first day with any kind of sun (even in winter) and you will just have a lump of melted reconstituted glop!
Get trail bars or granola bars instead as they will not melt when the car heats up with the sun.
