    Get yourself a non tactical looking backpack that contains various items to get you home if truck get disabled or other reasons you need to leave on foot. I can suggest a list if you are interested.

    Jumper cables for sure.

    I always have straps and bungee cords on hand for unexpected hauling (happens more than you think).

    This would be a good start.
    -Water container/Filled Bottles

    -Water purification

    -Mylar blankets

    -Lighter/Fire Starter

    -Headlamp/Extra Batteries

    -Multitool/Knife

    -Energy Bars

    -Rain Poncho

    -Work Gloves

    -First Aid Kit/IFAK

    -Extra Seasonal Clothing

    I live in a rural area but these items would all still be handy in an urban environment. Im sure there would be other things to add to this list but I would say this is a good start.

    I feel like that’s going to be really hard for her to fit in her backpack

    Holy Moly! Keep gas in the tank and keep your cell phone charged. In 40 years of driving on and off road, I've never been stranded or had to abandon my vehicle on foot.

    No kidding.

    OP I was stuck in traffic the other week and had to piss in my 32oz yeti cup. Unfortunately it won’t be quite as easy for you.

    As far as your original question, just keep a phone charger in there. I also like a good phone mount so I can easily use it for Gps. Other than that, nothing really. Maybe AAA.
