Winter Tips: have a survival kit in your vehicle

Even though we all know that winter is unpredictable, most motorists do not have a survival kit in their vehicle. That said, this type of kit is easy to create, and if we do not use it will last us a very long time. On the other hand, if we have the misfortune of having to use it, we will be happy we took a few minutes to prepare a winter survival kit.

Here are some tips to create your own survival kit for your vehicle.

– A shovel along with sand or salt if your vehicle is stuck.

– Water and non-perishable food if you have to wait several hours before help arrives.

– Warm clothes, again if you will be in the cold for a while. Make sure you have a hat, gloves, jackets and coats as well as socks, boots and snow pants.

– A cellphone charger. You can use the USB port in your vehicle to charge your cellphone and call for help.

– Cat litter which can be very useful to help get more traction.

– Flares or other distress devices to warn other motorists of your presence.

– Booster cables if your battery needs a charge
