Recommendations for Sedan Trunk emergency storage?

I drive a 2019 Toyota Corolla I have a jump pack and a tyre inflator in the back of my car, however as it is currently it's just rolling around in the trunk. I would love to have a hard shell container or something similar to hold those items. I also have a carabiner attached to the internal metal frame of the trunk, roughly that light gray bar below the weather seal in the attached image, which I think if I hang it from there would reduce the slidingness of everything

Just get a small plastic storage tote

Take a look at stay hold trunk organizers, these will allow you to secure any size box or bag so it doesn’t slide around.

I keep a milk crate in my trunk with emerg kit, inflator, washer fluid, socket set, zip ties, first aid stuff & picnic blanket.

I've used the same milk crate in 3 different cars. Not very elegant, but works.

Honestly I Would not keep the jump pack in the car, if the weather is hot I would take it out often, it's a grenade waiting to happen. Get a cheap battery tester and any tools you need to change the battery out, The terminal wrenches and the hold down nut, I have a 3 foot half in metal pipe in my trunk, great as a tire wrench extension and a ass beater, Get a can of fix a flat too.

Honestly, a 5gal. bucket works wonders.

When I had my corolla, I just put everything where the tire spot was. It fit a jack, tire inflator, tools, liquids, etc.

Do you have your trunk full of stuff regularly?

Hard cases waste space. Even when designed for the purpose they necessarily limit options. I tend to use old gym bags or backpacks I've retired for some noncritical issue.

Also, look under the floor or in the access panels for the tail lights and see if there's any room that can be reclaimed. Sometimes a bit of foam can be carved away to make space.

Exactly what I was going to recommend. Specifically a Patagonia Black Hole duffle, those things are beasts. I also drive a sedan.
