Grab bag/"emergency" essentials kept in your G?
I keep a tire pressure stick and mini flashlight in my glove compartment, but was thinking about a Porsche/Rennlist thread I found useful of what owners are keeping in their "emergency" kits or essentials for their car..
Saw great answers like a pint of Jack, Swiss army knife, etc and wondered especially given the nature of G-wagens what owners might typically have? I read somewhere a screwdriver is needed to unlock our spare wheel? Could be handy to know for roadtrips!

1) I keep a generic tool kit in my car (this one https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-11...0834/325208863). Never had to use it on my car, but very handy for when parents/mother-in-law needs me to come over and fix something at their house=)
2) Jump starter, air compressor, cell phone charger, LED flashlight/strobe - all in one:
3) OEM MB Crate for groceries/other items: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...des-2038400020
4) blanket - I have a picnic style one that rolls up and velcros together. One side is waterproof.
5) The Original Emergency Keychain Car Escape Tool, 2-in-1 Seatbelt Cutter and Window Breaker - kept in door compartment
6) Mercedes-Benz Reflective Safety Vest - OEM A 000 583 43 00 - kept in door compartment
I second the screw driver to unlock the spare wheel.
On long road trips, I bring a full sized jack that comes in a case.

Disposable nitrile industrial gloves are nice when you have to fix something dirty, even a flat tire fix with all the dirt and brake dust will get your hands quite grimy because often times you won't have anything to wash or wipe your hands with unless you have a kid with baby wipes in the car or an old towel.
