Product Sourcing:
When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review. Most suppliers, after seeing the channel, are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.
I am sometimes asked to review a product by a supplier which I will only agree to if the product fits the channel and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. Also the product needs to be worthy of a review. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many requests are politely declined.
Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding. Even with sponsored reviews I will only agree to a sponsorship on products and services which I believe will be of genuine interest to viewers.
I will always make reference in the video to products which have been provided for review by a supplier and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the review in any way if they choose to supply a product.
Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description. Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review.
If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.
Comments:
I really appreciate the feedback in the comments - I find it a source of knowledge and inspiration - so thank you to all of you who take the time to contribute. I have recently found that if I continue to respond to all the comments as the number of videos builds, it takes time away from being able to produce new content which would be very counter productive! - so my aim is to read everything I can and reply when I can, after each video goes live, until the next video goes live a week later. I'll see how that works out 😊
Thank you for supporting the channel so I can continue to provide you with regular reviews, thoughts and ideas and (hopefully) inspiration! Please consider subscribing to keep up to date with new video releases.

Absolutely awesome! I by no means an expert....I'm a US Army veteran and a retired firefighter paramedic of 27 years however so I have some background. You Sir have done it again!!! This is once again realistic items for real world issues. I dread 99.999% of edc, gadget and prepper videos. Too much "tacticool", ego driven unrealistic garbage. My eyes roll on the first few syllables and I turn them off.. You and your wonderful presentations. ...I'm glued! Great stuff. My car tool kit has been sealed down significantly as I know most I'm realisticly not going to diagnose the issue and/or fix it on the roadside. Definitely...get off to a safe location, get everyone in a safe area and be seen....perfect!! You've got the basics covered with this kit and it isn't cumbersome or loaded with non essential items. As usual....Well done!!

I would suggest two additional items. Some form of multi usb cord solution. Something like the kable card, or lever gear 6in1. This way you can charge not only your phone,(assuming you have a charger with you) but any other common electronics you might need. The other suggestion is a possible two parter. Some mix of sub screen and bug repellent. More of a comfort idea, but something to help make yourselves a little more comfortable can make the time waiting for help less stressful

I live in the US (Texas) and have everything in my car stuff that you have except for the knee pads. Additionally, I have a firestarter, a water purifier straw (in case I am stranded in the middle of nowhere and need to drink water from a potentially hazardous source), a hat. a whistle, a small thermos, a fork, knife and spoon, a tiny first aid kit, a compact emergency sleeping bag, paracord, and a compact backpack, in case I need to leave my car and carry stuff out of an isolated area. Since I live in Texas and its over 90 degrees about 9 months out of the year here, I don't keep food in the car because it would spoil very quickly. I also have to change out the batteries in my emergency kit fairly often because the heat drains them quickly. I also have a few tools in my emergency kit, including a long screw driver and a hammer. My glass breaker (I own the same one you have) is attached to my turn signal arm, with a plastic zip tie and can slid off the turn signal arm if you give it a good yank. I also have another multitool and several USB connectors for my phone and other electric devices in the armrest compartment, for easy access. As for self defense, I also have a can of mace and a sap (a piece of lead covered in leather to hit someone).

I’d recommend adding in some hose repair tape. It’s a strange tape that sticks very well to wet oily rubber hoses like when your radiator hose decides to rip open or you spring a fluid leak. Not a fix but it will limp you to a garage to find a new hose. Also a nice coil of bailing wire for tying your muffler back on, binding up a loose trim piece, etc.

@JonGadget Жыл бұрын

Last month, we drove 4806 miles in 15 days, doing a bunch of National Parks in America. Of course, at 10PM, the headlights went dim and the DVD player powered off. The alternator failed. We limped into a truck stop, and in the morning we got a ride to the auto part store. The garage said they could swap it for $130. I pulled my tool bag, and within 30 minutes I was able to test, confirm, swap, and confirm the alternator and we were on our way. Having tools, and knowing how to use them, is absolutely worth the time investment. 👍

@JonGadget Жыл бұрын

Agree that is the best case scenario (and it's how I was brought up) - but for many it's not an option and many cars now just don't allow user maintenance or repair!

I've had that gooloo jump starter twice. The first arrived doa, I emailed customer service and they immidiately sent me a replacement. The replacement worked well for several months and then died. I emailed customer service and they immediately refunded me the original purchase price and I purchased the gooloo gt3000. That being said I've had a gp2000 from gooloo for a long time and it's been amazing. I'd encourage anyone looking for a jump starter to pick up the gooloo gp2000 over the elite 1500. It's got a bit more capability, it charges over usb c vs a car or wall charger, and it's only a little bit more, and in my experience has had zero issues.

The jump starter is a really good one, there are lots of cheaper ones out there for smaller engines, so if you don't need to worry about a V8 truck or something you can save some $$ there. I also keep a first aid kit that has the emergency rations as an all-in-one alternative to your stash. I had a tree blocking the road once so I keep hatchet that has a handsaw in the handle for random scenarios. It would take a long time to go through something thick, but better than nothing! And definitely helps if I just need to separate some branches to get by versus a tree trunk.

Quick tip regarding those glass breakers. They only work against non laminated windows. Fortunately, the vast majority of cars don’t have them. But, luxury vehicles often have them for reduced road noise. A couple of easy ways to tell if they’re on your vehicle is, check the manufacturer sticker (bottom right hand of the window) or roll down the window a bit, and look at the edge of the glass. If there is a stripe in the middle of the glass, they’re laminated. If not, they’re standard tempered windows.

@JonGadget Жыл бұрын

Good point Mark 👍 also worth pointing out windscreens are laminated so this won't work for that either.

I use the same marker lights - though mine will not stick to the side of my Rover as the panels are aluminum, but they are great. The jump starter saved me a few times now. I use the NOCO Boost 1000 as it will boost upwards of 6L. Rovers are hungry for starting power. A couple things I would suggest. ARB makes an excellent puncture repair kit for tires which I've included in my own. And the reality is that most of us cannot address the issues of modern engines, however a simple one is a punctured hose. This happened a few Christmases ago to my family, where I had a leaking coolant hose which was accessible, though I didn't have Self Fusing Silicon Tape for hose repair (its withstands higher pressure than the self fusing black rubber tape). Had I done that I could have saved my family from a night in a crappy hotel, mediocre dinner, made it to Christmas dinner with family, and saved a 390.00 towing bill. Now it stays in my kit as with Rovers its one of the few things I can fix. Another thing that's been super useful is keeping a Jet Boil in my kit for those excursions to the beach wanting for hot almond milk cocoa, to other hot beverages on our excursions. Not to mention if you were really out of pure water, you could boil it.

@JonGadget Жыл бұрын

Thanks for taking the time to feedback. I was surprised the lights attached to the car doors as I thought they were aluminium! It was not a strong attachment so it might be some form of alloy or steel frame behind the door skin? I carry self amalgamating tape but not silicon - so I will check that out - thanks for the suggestion

@Brandon-0028 Жыл бұрын

@@JonGadget Yes, I imagine the frame is steel and it is only the skins which are Aluminum to help keep the center of gravity low. I was laughing trying to find a place to stick one of those lights under the bonnet. Yes, I ordered some of that rubber self amalgamizing tape you suggested after seeing your video. In addition I keep a bit of gaffers tape wrapped around a thin aluminum card for things like alarm clock lights in hotels and such at night. I keep the high pressure silicon version in the boot of the Rover. I would love to see your review of the Defender in a video. I will be retiiring my Range Rover over the next year or so and my eyes are set on the Defender 4 Door. Have a great day!

Good kit. i have picked up a couple of the larger GTX280 Gooloo so may keep one in the car, it's a bit of a brick though. Another few suggestions for you (you may have these separate already) First Aid Kits with Tourniquet. Keyring torch on house keys or car keys. Glass breaker /seatbelt cutter on house keys I have a pack that has a multi tool, lighter, razor, cutting wire, compact face cloths that expand when wet, emergency whistle, emergency blanket. If you need to start a fire to keep warm tape makes for good kindling to start one so it is worth wrapping some around a lighter. I also have a small 36w portable solar panel in the kit that can be used to recharge head torches, torches, phones. If you drive a 4x4 put a recovery kit together also, tow rope, recovery rope, gloves, shackles and bottle jack. You may not go off road a lot but could end up stuck in a field or in snow or come across others that are stuck. You can go one further and get traction boards but they then need to be carried in the vehicle or mounted on roof bars. Tools wise I am building my kit out to be a tad more substantial as I drive off road but I also keep spare valve caps, fuses, zip ties in the car. Also fitted a CB radio. Back up power wise other than the solar panel I have a torch/lantern that double as a power bank and also an emergency radio that does the same, that also has a crank to put some charge in it if needed.

A comment my Australian wife (a nurse) didn’t contemplate was having a jacket in the car for personal use and assistance in shock prevention in an emergency, how about a reusable thermal blanket (heavier and doesn’t blow around) I’ve carried one for hiking in my backpack and car for years. I’ve only suffered from hypothermia twice both times in the Snowy mountains (Australia). My son camped out in -10c in Oberon NSW, with NO fires allowed in bushfire season, anyone who says it does get cold here has never visited or not left the cities (on the coast). Light weight garden/mechanics groves for tyre changes and reflective covers a must also I agree with WD40 & duct tape, if a trailer is involved aways ropes and/or ratchet clamps in they box trailer. I’ve never not had a flat battery anywhere in some very isolated locations where I was not parked near other cars where I could get a jump start a set of leads for a fraction of the cost is a better bet. Carrying water in the car in the UK (give me a break)? 1-2 litres in Australia (40 deg c) days dehydrating is a factor I’ve never come across there yet? The next comment about write in the rain notepads said it all? The dooms day prepare tool for accidents with laminated car glass with Australian after market tinting good luck with that too if in water immediately lower glass if you conscious, otherwise don’t bot A comment my Australian wife (a nurse) didn’t contemplate was having a jacket in the car for personal use and assistance in shock prevention in an emergency, how about a reusable thermal blanket (heavier and doesn’t blow around) I’ve carried one for hiking in my backpack and car for years.

Better for "slow leaks".... you do get cans with pressurised air-glue inside. And the can has the ability to re-inflate your tire aprox 70-80% and the glue they put inside, they claim will seal most small leaks. You just screw it on and press the button. I had one of those, used it once and you are so happy you have it. It makes your tire OK to drive, albeit slowly, to take you to the next service station where you can replace is with your spare rather that in the dark.

I tried to leave a comment earlier but I must have messed up as it didn't take. Anyway, I never use alkaline AA or AAA batteries in any of my preps. Alkaline batteries will always leak, all least by my experience, and you never find this out until you actually need the device and then it's already too late. Instead I only only Lithium AA and AA batteries in my emergency equipment. Not rechargables but Energizer Lithium batteries. They hold their charge a lot longer than Alkaline and more importantly, they never leak and ruin the device they're in. They're a little more expensive that Alkaline but worth it to have a working device when you really need it. For rechargeable prep equipment including some of my electric flares (similar model to yours), the batteries for my portable tire inflator (Ryobi 18V), and my GooLoo jump start kit, I set a recurring reminder in the calendar app or reminder app on my smartphone. I get a reminder quarterly to pull these devices out of the car, charge them up, test to see if they still work, and put them back under the driver's seat. Lastly I used a zip tie to attach the key ring end of my window breaker/seat belt cutter to the gear shift in my car. It doesn't get any handier to the driver and the front seat passenger if either of us should need it in a hurry. I also have a second window breaker/seat belt cutter attached to my keys which never leave my pants pocket.

Instead of the bottle of water, go with a bottle of something like Gatorade with full sugar. Not only will the sugar give some caloric energy, but it will also lower the freezing temp so you can still consume it when it’s is the middle of winter
