How to Build a Car Emergency Kit

With winter hitting in full effect I thought I compile a list of safety items to keep in your car while you travel.

Buy a small duffel bag and compile these items for emergency situations you might encounter while driving.

The basic car kit should include the following items:

  • Food that won’t spoil, such as energy bars, beef jerky, etc...
  • Water, at least 2L
  • Blanket(s)
  • Extra clothing and shoes
  • Candle in a deep can and matches
  • First aid kit with seatbelt cutter
  • Warning light or road flares
  • Small shovel, scraper and snowbrush
  • List of contact numbers

Other Recommended Items to possibly include in your car safety kit are:

  • Sand, salt, sawdust, or cat litter
  • Antifreeze/ windshield washer fluid
  • Tow rope, jumper cables, toolkit, jack, tire iron
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Roadmaps, whistle and flashlight
  • Flares/Flare Gun

I hope you've found this guide helpful, IF YOU HAVE PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE.

Thank you,

Randall, of Randalls-eBooks
