Btw. I replaced some years ago the blanket with a sleeping bag (warmer + can be folded/compressed better therefore needs less space when stored/hidden in the trunk), and the normal flashlight with another one which is magnetic on one side (for example so that it won't move while mount snow chains).

I keep a Harbor Freight moving blanket in my trunk. It's thick for insulation, and also cheap in case you need to protect your seats after a muddy activity. I also wouldn't feel torn up about laying it down on ice if I need some traction.

- mulmen 5y agoMagnetic flashlight is nice. If you don't have one I also suggest a headlamp. https://www.rei.com/c/headlamps https://www.rei.com/c/headlamps
- rootusrootus 5y agoMy suggestion for the flashlight is to get one that works as a headlamp. The modern LED versions are quite good, going from incredibly bright all the way down to dim but usable for days.
