Why now

El Niño has returned, and forecasters expect summer 2026 to run hotter than normal across much of the country, with the strongest heat odds over the Intermountain West. Most people are far more ready for a winter breakdown than a 110-degree one.

Extreme heat is one of the deadliest weather hazards in the United States. A parked car can climb well past 130 degrees. The gear that helps is not complicated, but most kits are not built for heat, and half their contents should not bake in a trunk all summer. That gap is what we set out to close.
