I like camping so a lot of the above gets used. In the past I had lived out of my car and tent for a long time. I don't like to just store food in a car, due to local bears (have one in my car a couple of years ago, eating everything--I still keep the crate pieces with it's toothmarks all over)

A 40 pack of hand warmers ( I ordered it off amazon and had no where else to store them, came in handy a few times)
Shovel
Tow strap
Traction Mat
Basic Tools
Giant zip ties
Duct tape
Lighter
Knife
Water
Tire Chains
Backpack with whatever is in that bottomless pit
12 volt inverter
A $20 dollar bill in center console (this comes in handy more times than I can count)

Sounds like you're also ready for an abduction and disposal.
I just recently added a puncture patch kit. It seems significantly easier to patch a hole than to put a spare on. If you can find the hole and pump it back up.
I have several packs of emergency water, and a basic 72 emergency kit in the trunk. Has some food, water, shelter, blankets, tools, etc. Bought it on beprepared.com
