With the winter season in full throttle, it's more important than ever to be prepared for any emergency on the road. Aside from making driving conditions difficult, that kind of weather can also turn a standard car break down into a potentially life-threatening situation.
A lot of (otherwise very competent) preppers and survivalists often forget about their car survival kit, being too fixated on the more romantic notion of the world ending. However, survival is not just about the apocalypse, but about the common everyday survival situations you’re more likely to encounter– like your truck breaking down – that can be lethal if it occurs during the wrong weather conditions if you’re not prepared…
Having the right tools can mean the difference between getting back on the road quickly, and being stranded for hours.
So here we have combined a list of the products that we think should be part of your "car survival kit"

Gen2 Mini mover - 12V ELECTRIC JOCKEY WHEEL
One of the drawbacks of towing a caravan or a boat is dealing with it when it’s unhitched. No matter your age, gender and level of fitness, manoeuvring a 2-tonne RV around is not ideal. Reversing a towed vehicle require sometimes Master Level Tetris skills. It can be very difficult to reverse your RV into a camping spot or a parking bay especially when you have other campers, trees, taps and power around.
Our NEW Gen2 Mini Movers gives you the freedom to manuver your Caravan, Trailer or Boat without using a towed car or manually pushing it around. They are super helpful if your caravan needs to be tucked into a tight location such as a corner of a driveway, a parking bay, a camping site or anywhere you need to position your RV where a tow car couldn’t help.

Take your 4WD anywhere with the confidence of 14,500 lbs. of pulling force at your disposal. The electric winch is equipped with an incredible high-speed motor that can quickly reel your 4WD out of the deepest mud bogs and water holes. The T-REX GORILLA™ Gearset, only found on T-Rex products, works in a three stage planetary differential train system, providing the smoothest possible outcome every time.
