The must-have list for safe travel
Keep in your luggage
These are the items you just leave in your luggage so you don't have to pack them every time you go away. These items mean you will have to check your luggage. I put them in the bedside table once I get where I am going.
Knife
My favorite easy folding knife is the Kershaw Brawler. Men probably already own one of these, women usually don't.
Flashlight
I prefer a headlamp for hands free use. This is especially important if you need to use it in conjunction with your mace or knife.
Keep in your trunk
These are the must-have items to keep in your trunk. I keep them in a bag so I can grab them quickly.
Old Athletic Shoes w/socks
Every time I get a new pair of running shoes, I put the old pair in my trunk. You never know when you may have to hoof it. I stuff a pair of clean cotton socks just in case.
Light Fleece
I choose dark colors with pockets. if its already cold, you probably already have a coat, if its not, it may get cool at night.
Lightweight Backpack
Add to your First Aid Kit
If you don't already have one, buy a few and keep them in your luggage, your car, your office, under your bathroom sink. It doesn't matter what grade first aid kit you buy, it will likely be missing a few essentials that everyone should have.
Tourniquet
This may seem like a scary one, but it can save a life. I keep one in both my luggage and trunk first aid kits, but I think its most important in your trunk. They aren't all equal so look for one that is one-handed.
Add a footnote if this applies to your business
