Assemble a cold-weather car kit

My dad sent me this is an email (not sure the source) and I'm trying to keep up with email clutter but thought the information was important to record somewhere...I have a few of these in my car but I need to add a few more things to be more prepared.

If you are likely to be driving on desolate, rural roads or areas prone to snow and ice, it is recommended that you carry a cold-weather car kit. In this kit, you should pack the following items:


  • Coat (in case you have to walk), blanket, gloves and warm clothes
  • Paper towels
  • High-energy, non-perishable food and water, or sports drinks
  • Flashlight, flares, and a first-aid kit
  • Bag of abrasive material for traction, such as sand, salt or non-clumping kitty litter
  • Snow brush and scraper
  • Snow shovel
  • Working and fully-charged cell phone to call for help
By following these tips, you will be less likely to have problems during the winter.
