Your car needs a winter survival kit.
November 4, 2009
Before winter begins, put together a winter storm survival kit for your vehicle. Take that old coat, those old clothes and that old pair of boots that your spouse wants you to throw away, put them in a duffel bag and throw them in the bar of your car. Also, throw in a sleeping bag or warm blankets. Non-perishable foods such as energy bars should be included. Having something to eat will help your body stay warm if you become stranded for a prolonged period of time.
