Winter Car Kit

When it comes to severe winter storms with SNOW, we’ve been pretty lucky so far. However, we know the worst could be yet to come. It’s easy to put together a winter survival kit for your car and let’s hope the opportunity never arises for the need to use it. But, it’s always better to BE PREPARED! As I drive Interstate 80 every day back and forth to work, I’m thankful my husband always reminds me to have these supplies in case I ever went in the ditch.

Snowbrush/ice scraper (common sense on this one - no one who lives in a state that has annual snowfall should be without one of these in their car. Absolutely no reason)

Small shovel - to dig yourself out or to clear the snow away from the tailpipe if you go in the ditch.

Boots
Tote with the following:

  • LED Flashlight
  • Stocking cap
  • Thick scarf
  • Face mask
  • Two pairs of gloves
  • Hot Hands
  • Toasti-Toes
  • Hot Hand Body Warmers
  • Two blankets
  • Food - Jerky, some sort of granola or protein bars, candy bars (DON’T sneak into the tote and eat them!)
  • Water
  • Candle/matches
  • Toilet Paper - and I have a Go Girl “feminine urination device.”
     

I think I will a small power bank for my phone, like the Realtree Ultra Slim Power Bank. While I try to make sure my phone is fully charged before heading out, you never say never! Another good addition may be the Eton® Self-Powered Weather Alert Radio, which comes with an LED flashlight and USB charger. It would be handy to have for spring and summer severe weather, too!

Take time to throw together even some basic items before the next snow/ice storm hits. You may be thankful you had the one extra blanket and bag of jerky!
