Possibly with mobile phone coverage they effectively do this by joining a breakdown service. I have both a lithium jump start pack and an electric tyre air pump in the boot of my car (and an decent air pressure gauge)
Well, I do that as well but only for those thing I can't reasonably cover myself, like an actual 'breakdown', not just my negligence like running out of fuel or laving the lights on overnight.
As everyone should, and have the skills to be able to use them.
In the day sack I nearly always pick up when walking the dog(s) are a couple of bottles of water (and a small collapsible dog bowl), a waterproof bag containing some basic first aid stuff, another with a wodge of tissues, a small LED torch, a couple of snack bars, two lightweight ponchos, portable charging battery etc etc. The water is probably the heaviest stuff but I don't mind carrying it as it all adds to the exercise and it has all come in handy at some point or another (mostly for other people).
Under the floor in the back of the Meriva I have a bag of various tools with emergency tapes, spare lamps, electric pump with torch, gloves, a sheet of plastic, some WD40, jump leads and if we are going out further, the lithium jump start pack (that's also a USB charger).
I think it's all about being as self sufficient as possible, both not wanting to have to call on anyone if possible plus being ready and able to help others if I need / choose, part of why I was in IT support most my life I guess. ;-)
