Multi pack of handbag tissues from a £1 shop can be used as loo paper and does not take up a lot of room, small writing pad with pencil/pen and a birght coloured ribben to tie car arial or tree branch in case of being buired under snow

I like the ribbon idea, but my car has an integral arial so nothing to tie it too

I've got one of those elements that plug into your cigarette lighter socket, handy for making a brew in the car, but it takes about 10-15 mins to boil a half pint cup of water.
