Storage for booster cables in vehicle. Any creativ - AlexCarey

I bought my booster cables for my vehicles because I thought they would be useful, particularly as I live in a cold climate.

So, as soon as I needed them to boost a friend’s vehicle for the first time because it was -36 C, the cheap plastic bag shattered because it does that when it’s that cold.

Thoughts on better ways of storing them? Currently they’re sitting loose in my back seat.

I'm struggling to believe this is serious but as a bit or pre Christmas fun we will let it run for now (it's been posted elsewhere on the web)

Perhaps use a bag made of material, e.g leather

Keep them in the house at night and take them out with you, you can always use them to fight off any polar bears or wolves (if in siberia)

Yes, about as predictable as a wet Bank holiday.
