I also carry a sleeping bag, self-inflatable mat and blanket - Very useful when I need to use a friend's floor for an overnight as it minimises their inconvenience and so I don't sh!t in their guest bed.
....I just carry my triangle kit loose in the boot together with a high-vis waistcoat (I have to go on airfields occasionally). I keep oil top-up in that side strap thingy and also carry screenwash and a bag with quick detailer and cloths etc for glass cleaning and removing bird poo. I also carry a sleeping bag, self-inflatable mat and blanket - Very useful when I need to use a friend's floor for an overnight as it minimises their inconvenience and so I don't sh!t in their guest bed. I had occasion to use my blanket, mat, sleeping bag on Saturday night to assist a mobile paramedic lady, so I was very pleased I keep them in the car. It made the difference as it was extremely important to keep the patient warm - But all that is another quite long story.I don't carry spare bulbs or first aid kit but might now consider a fire extinguisher.

I may look into the fire extinguisher now that its been mentioned as i once came across a tamp that was on fire and it would have been handy.
^^^^You lot can make as much fun of me as you like but the patient was rapidly losing blood pressure and was for a short time in grave danger - It became an ambulance and hospital job - The patient was my daughter.So, I am glad I always keep the items I listed in my boot and I would advise others to include a blanket at the very least.
