Great suggestions. Sounds like you have experienced some close calls too. I use to carry a change of clothes, first aid kit, rain poncho, shoes, gloves in my trunk, along with a lithium battery jump pack.
I also have a AAA membership as my vehicles are older now and I don’t want to be stuck due to a breakdown. I had a Jeep blow a rad hose south of reno one year and that 97 mile tow to parts sure came in handy.
After watching the video on the couple that became stranded on a mountain in Oregon I built a more elaborate bug out bag that was much more than a change of clothes for my trip down into the south west this part winter.
It’s much closer to what you have described with an emergency blanket, radio, battery pack, fire starter, umbrella, and warmer clothes. There’s enough food in the bag to last a week in the woods if needed.
After being stuck on the side of that mountain exploring I lost some of my invincibility edge which seems to help keep me out of stickier situations of my youth. Despite growing up in a remote logging camp I’m kind of fond of only visiting that life from time to time now.
