I would add a knife or 2, just to be sure

(I assume you want to use this kit in case of car breakdown / stuck in bad wheather, etc. and not in case of a society collapse and you need to save your hide and make it to the woods ...).

First question you need to ask yourself: do I really need it? What's the chance I need it (it's useless if you only drive in big cities / suburbs)?
Weight: keep it as low as possible. Maybe something to cook in (or -and better- more "no cooking needed" food like chocolate etc), matches / lighter, sleeping bag, flash light, first aid kit, in winter maybe a good quality thermosflask with coffee / hot chocolate (obviously prepared just before you leave) or -and better- hot water: less cost and you can use it to prepare a meal / hot drink from your kit, etc.



EDIT:
Stuart is absolutely right about Ludlowsurvivors!
My wish for 2007 is to type faster and get less distracted by other BCUK pages that I'm watching at the same time ...
