So I recently acquired a nice Swiss backpack with the intentions of using it as storage compartment in my car for a "car EDC".
I'm not too concerned with basic smash and grabs. The bag will be stored in my trunk. The top of the bookbag has a grip that's reinforced and I am going to attach a metal bicycle lock through that and to the frame of the car near the spare tire. I can also lock any compartment of the bookbag that will hold anything of major value. If that doesn't stop them then it's not too much value lost.
What I'm trying to figure out is what items should I add to my bag that can survive being left in the trunk of a car in the GA heat?
I know I want some basic first aid items that can at least survive a few months in there without diminishing the quality. I have no quarrel with replacing them over time.
I am going to purchase an extra magazine and load it up to keep in there.
I'm also thinking a flashlight. Maybe even some road reflectors of some sort.
I even contemplated water but I don't know what container to keep it in.
Any and all suggestions are welcome. There is no urgency to this and therefore the budget is flexible.
