This week is a bit odd. We have several days left of July but not enough days of August to do August Week 1. So, we are going to work on something outside the box. Here goes!
Emergency Car Kits
Since winter transportation becomes more difficult, keep your car in top operating condition and the gas tank as nearly full as possible. Also, it is wise to carry a "winter storm car kit" for safer winter travel.
tow chains
whistle
extra batteries
ax
signal flag
extra gas
siphon hose
flares
army shovel
jack
jumper cables
road map
rescue rope
flashlight
ice scrapers
pocket knife
compass
fire extinguisher
first aid kit
pencil
paper
tool kit
spare tire
oil & extra fluids
extra wiper blades
blankets
water
food
Many of these items are good to have on hand no matter what time of year it is. And most importantly, know how to use the items you have! It is useless to carry tools when you don't know how to use them in the event you are stuck out in the middle of nowhere. Plastic totes work well to carry these items in your trunk. Make sure to rotate your food and water and any other items that have an expiration date.
