So I worked security (night shift rent a cop, not like IT) for over a decade. On multiple occasions, I’d get snowed in, and unable to leave, or relief wouldn’t show, and because of the way the law’s written, I legally can’t leave until relieved.
I got into the habit of keeping everything I need in my car. For literal years, I could have comfortably lived in my car for over a week on a moments notice. To include an inverter, hot plate, small tv, game system, literally all the trappings of an apartment. I still keep some food and a sleeping bag in my pick up at all times, because you never fucking know, man. You never know.
Eta: forgot the whole reason I was replying before submitting. Lol
On a few occasions, I have saved the freaking day for friends or coworkers. Hungry? I got the foods. Ripped your pants? Portable sewing machine. Bored and no cell signal? How about we play some video games or watch a DVD? It’s an amazing feeling to be the dude who just has the shit you need
In my last car, most of it went in the trunk. I currently drive a pick-up because we have to have a way to haul my mom’s power wheelchair, so it mostly goes behind the seats folded up. I don’t have the TV or anything like that anymore. But some ramen noodles, an inverter, a kettle, a sleeping bag, pillow, change of clothes, extra shoes, light blanket/thick sheet, couple towels, first aid kit. Oh, and water

Is your car a semi truck? How do you fit all that?
