Since we use/pack these in lunches already, would be easy for us to rotate them into a car pack.

What jerky do you use? What's the longest you've kept it in the car and still eaten it?
For us it's how everything is stored.If you rotate your food stuffs there should no safety issues. Are the items you have able to take extreme / sustained temp swings. Jerky's great unless the sun is on it, same for canned meats bottled drinks etc. A few caprisuns (since they store easy) in a freeze they have room to expand in those foil pouches. Sunflower seeds, i like the peanut butter packet idea, maybe some other condiment pkgs, like sugar, salt. The items depend on how far you are from home daily. We're local, maybe 1-2 miles from the homestead.
