We all like to have a good tailgate when it’s time for football season, right? RIGHT. And since football season is super upon us, we’re sharing with you our tried and tested recipe for a perfect tailgate kit to keep in your vehicle, in case of tailgate emergencies. This can all conveniently fit into a toolbox that might fit perfectly in your truck bed or under your back seats. Check it out:

• Spatulas

• bottle openers (for root beers, right!)

• Tongs

• can opener

• Toothpicks

• wooden skewers

• basting brush

• mini flashlight

• trash bags

• paper towels

• wet wipes

• hand sanitizer

• sunscreen

• poncho

• plastic zip bags

• Sharpie

• Masking tape

• your favorite condiments, spices, and seasonings

Another great idea for cooler seasons is to bring Thermoses of hot soup, cider, or other warm things. You can also turn your cooler into a warming oven, which will keep your hot food (like your buffalo dip!) hot for a while so that your guests can enjoy your snacks the way they should be enjoyed. Good luck!
