Energize and Organize: Winter Car Emergency Kit

Mom ALWAYS asks, as her children get ready to  head home, "Do you have a FULL tank of gas?"  Great question, Mom!

That got me to thinking  about other winter car essentials and what would make for a great kit.  Here are a few suggestions and recommendations for you to build your own winter car emergency kit. 

Keep in Touch:  cell phone charger, short-wave radio, paper maps and compass
Warmth:  blankets, hand warmers, hats, mittens, boots 
Eats:  granola/protein bars, nuts, bottles of water
Light Up:  flashlights with extra batteries, road flares, reflective roadside triangles, reflective vest
Safety:  first aid kit,  masks, hand sanitizer and wipes
Dig Out:  portable shovel, bags of sand/kitty litter, ice scraper, snow brush
Supplies and Tools:  windshield fluid, flat tire tools, battery booster cables, Leatherman multi-tool

If you'd rather purchase a ready-made emergency car kit stop by your local hardware shop,  Google winter car emergency kit  and/or visit www.aaa.com and www.survival-supply.com.
