EDC in the trunk of a car/truck or on your person?

Most of what you hear about is getting stranded in your car without food & water for a day or 2.   Assuming you have a carry gun anyway, I would keep it small & light with ...

 

first aid kit, one of the better "glove compartment" types. 

skin bonding superglue, because most first aid kits do not have it and I would much, much, much rather glue up a serious cut than try my hand at stitches.  It works great.

food and water.

a box of ammo for your carry gun.

an old cell phone that can be used to call 911 and a car power charger/supply for it.  It does not need a working contract, all phones can dial 911 as I understand it (?).

A tarp.  You can make a tent, or wrap up in it for warmth, or make a raincoat, or many other things.

A flashlight and unopened batterys that you replace at least yearly.

possibly, a GPS so you can tell 911 where you are exactly.

A good book.

at the time of the post i was looking at on my person but im kind of leaning towards a good iwb holster and then having a pack in my vehicle. still on the fence. thoughts?

IMHO--EDC needs to be on your person. A larger gun would be ideal for a go-bag.....unless your one of these guys that can conceal a G17 all day every day.

Are you sure you really want to carry a man-purse every day?  I have one and use it fairly regularly, but not every day.  I keep it in the car so it doubles as a "get home bag".
