My bag/Coat:

Gloves/Hat/Neck Scarf
Handwarmer
Lighter
Tissues
Extra battery for my phone
Pen + Paper
Torch
2 spare pairs of socks
FAK
3 bags of sweets, 2 energy bars 1L water
Extra Paracetamol/Ibuprofen - I'm migraine prone.

I've also got a small BoB in my car with most things you'd expect in a BoB.

The only little thing I'd add to your EDC st3vi3 would be 1/2 hand warmers. I never used to think I'd want/need em, them i got two and now i wont leave home without them.

Hiya,

My EDC (which is always the same regardless of season)

Multitool
Torch
Small FAK (Blow out kit)
Uzi Tactical Pen
SERE Blackops "V" Cutter

My Winter Car carry

SnugPak Antartica Sleep Bag
x2 Kids Duvets
Food (For 2 adults 2 kids) for 24hrs (mix of canned and freeze dried)
14ltrs water
Mess Tins
Gas stove
Hexamine solid fuel stove (Two is one one is none!)
Folding shovel
Tea, coffe and sugar
Couple of tin mugs
Portable kettle
UHT Milk
Baby formula + bottle
FAK including painkillers etc
10ltr Jerry of diesel
Map of my immediate area, but add map of destination if that changes if out of my area.
Tow rope
Jump leads
large snow shovel, with handle sawn down to fit in the boot
Poncho
Hi-viz waqistcoat thingy (signalling etc)
Bin bag load of grit. Not sure of the legality of this but in about october I always pop down the road and "borrow" a bin bag full from the grit bin. Saves you a bit of cash, works better than the rock salt you can buy (and I figure I pay enough council tax anyway!)
Plastic tyre boards for mud and snow/ice
And, of course, matches.

Stories of people over the last few winters being forced to spend 12 hrs in their vehicles over night without so much as a blanket have haunted me a bit, and both the missus and I have figured we want enough so we can be comfortable in a car, stuck on a Mway, with kids over at least 24hrs. All thi sfits neatly into a US ALICE pack and two PLCE bergan side pouches zipped together. Jerries of water and fuel bungeed down.

This is a good thread, but I've moved this into the EDC/BOB/GHB forum which is more relevant....
