When I had a larger car, with a large trunk, I kept a lot of that stuff in the trunk, but still not all of that, because I lived in warm climate. Now, I have a smaller car, a hatchback, so there really isn't anywhere to keep that much stuff and not have it in the way. Also, now that I live in a colder climate, I need even more stuff. I've managed to get a few things in with the spare tire, put an extra set of gloves and water in the door pockets, and a Mylar emergency blanket in the glove compartment. We have a couple of knives, flashlight, granola bars, and a mini-first aid kit in the center console. We recently added a snow shovel (didn't have a folding one). But that's it. We recently bought ATV's to go hunting, and I managed to get a few things in the storage compartment of mine. I'd love to hear how others manage to organize and store this much stuff.
