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.

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.

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!!!
