I just carry a mag flashlight. If it's a long trip, I pack my baton in an easy to reach place.
Hello, What do you car in your car with you at all times for protection?
When I had a pickup and did a lot of work out in rural Clackamas County I always always carried:Anyone who has lived out in the ozone knows what all of these are for. But some scurrilous scalawags have suggested that I brain people with the flashlight, chop them into bits with the machete, wrap them in the space blanket, tie the "package" up with the chain, bury it with the shovel filling in where needed with kitty litter, and then patch myself up and have a big drink of water
- A machete
- A German Entrenching Tool
- A gallon of water
- A bag of kitty litter
- A tow chain
- A five D-Cell Maglite
- A first aid kit
- A space blanket
It's all context.
These are great not only in emergencies, but for the idiot who pulls in behind you and starts flashing his high beams when you refuse to let him merge in after he ignored the 2 miles of "Right lane closed ahead, merge left." signs.I have my large Maglite...
Kitty litter is also a pretty good absorbent for lots of fluids. If you're radiator is leaking after a crash or something like that, you can pour the kitty litter on top to control the runoff.The kitty litter helps you get unstuck when the weather is freezing. Put it down. Pour some of the water on it. It freezes into a high-traction clump. It can also help fill in if you've worked one of your wheels into a rut and is ecologically friendlier than salt for putting down on ice.
What "sinister uses" could kitty litter have?
I'm curious.
Reading what she posted, I don't believe she thinks there is a "sinister" use for kitty litter. But it is carried for a type of protection. Protecting her from sliding around by giving her added weight and traction when needed. Isn't having tools with you to help you get out of and prevent bad situations protecting yourself?

Oh, I'd never heard that one. (We've always used backhoes...It's supposed to keep animals from digging up buried *ahem* items.
