Emergency Car Kit |
|
|
You never know when you could break down in bad weather and eventhough you have a cell phone, you never know how long it will be until the tow truck will be there. So here are somethings you should keep in a plastic tub in your trunk:
- Tea light candles
- Flashlight for signaling help
- Polar fleece blankets
- Some bottled water
- Beef Jerky or other high protein snack
- Jumper Cables
- A couple of hazard reflectors to mark where your car is.
- A small box of Thermal care neck size patches for putting on your self or your children if you are in sub zero temps.
- Books to read to your children
If you have a baby:
- Extra diapers
- Some concentrated baby formula
- Extra bottles
This kit should get you through any sticky situation you may have.

RE: Emergency Car Kit
Great lists!!! The only thing I'd add off of the top of my head is matches or a lighter (for the tea lights). Thanx, Debra and Leann, for these very important lists!!!
Winter Emergency Kits
If you live in the northern states as I do, you know the importance of keeping a winter emergency kit in your car in case you break down or get stuck in the snow. In addition to things like a cell phone, blankets, jumper cables, etc., be sure to include food and water. Peanut butter and crackers are good choices, as the peanut butter is high in calories, and contains a fair amount of protein. If you're caught during a particularly bad snow storm, tow trucks could be backed up several hours and you will appreciate the snack.
