Try to find time to adjust the parking brake, it not that difficult.

Jack pad adapter is essential, I picked up a scissor jack too, may prove more stable. Keep proper lug torque but I carry my own socket and breaker bar, foot air pump in case the compressor fails, flat-fix plugs, flashlight, gloves, a mat to kneel or lay on, a couple of large plastic bags - one for the muddy tire if needed the other to wear as a poncho if raining. Swapping out just the rear tire is ok but if only going short distance and at low speed with a MidYear space saver spare.

Teetering with two wheels in the air…on the side of the road, in the dark and its raining…yikes.

Keep a wide piece or two of wood 2x6” will do, use as a base for any jack so you won’t sink or dig into soft pavement, extra wood blocks will also give you some added lift height, have a chock too and keep car in gear while lifting, the rear tire doesn’t get as high as the front unless it’s flat.

For garage maintenance - yes two jack stands. For the road maybe one, but I’ve used the spare tire and wood block underneath as the fail-safe.

Lots of junk in the trunk just the probability of a flat tire when a motor club might be easier.
