There’s a lot of talk in the winter about what drivers should do in preparation for safe winter driving, yet we often don’t think about the importance of having a proper emergency kit in the trunk of your car in case the unexpected does occur.+ @% [# w; S+ e$ T9 `" q0 o
7 s$ @ \2 j2 y$ |5 n3 Y, pA good winter emergency kit is like Batman’s utility belt, but for your car. It has everything you might possibly need for situations you’ll encounter on the road during this unpredictable season. We’ve all seen cars stuck in the snow, or unable to start due to extreme cold, and there are even examples of drivers being stuck on roads trapped in their cars during snowstorms – for hours or sometimes, even days. Having a proper winter emergency kit can be essential during these events.

Your standard road safety kit (that’s kept in your car throughout the year) should include items like booster cables, road flares, traffic cones, emergency signs and other things that can help you be seen on the roadway when your car has broken down. A winter safety kit can help you with situations specifically caused by the weather. Every motorist should take the time to assemble a kit for their car. Here are a few items I think are essential for your winter emergency kit:- | S- C @% x1 D8 T
* k# f" T0 I! c8 I) ?/ \" M- Y/ ]Non-perishable food – You’ll want items that can be opened easily, won’t spoil, and can be eaten cold. Energy bars are a great option. Some canned food could work as long as you plan to pack a can opener with it.

Water – Humans can only go so long without water, and while you can eat some fresh snow to quench your thirst in a pinch, it’s not the healthiest option. Keeping a few bottles of water in the trunk is a far better way to stay hydrated if you become stranded by the side of the road.0 @. ~' J9 M( O
/ R7 d7 z0 q7 t( b+ p1 M0 _1 U' w* cCandle in a deep tin – If you’re stuck in your car for an extended period you won’t be able to run your engine or the heat for hours and/or days on end, but you will need a heat source. Surprisingly, the heat from a single tea light candle can provide much needed warmth in an enclosed area. Just be sure to keep your eye on the candle when in use.

Shovel – You may find yourself in a situation where you have to dig your car out from snow that’s either been piled up around your vehicle by a plow or that’s accumulated on its own thanks to the wind drifting it around your car. A small, light shovel can be just the thing you need to get your car moving again.4 A7 V& `/ E7 f/ ^5 e: R7 c: _5 ]
Warm clothing – Many motorists wear leather gloves for driving that don’t provide much protection from the cold – and that’s if they wear any gloves at all. A warm pair of mitts or gloves stored in your car can protect your extremities if you happen to be stuck in your car or if you have to spend time digging your car out of the snow. A dry pair of warm socks is also a good idea to keep your toes toasty.0 R2 d$ g, F% r

Blanket – A warm blanket is a great option for keeping your body temperature up if you’re going to be stuck in your car for a prolonged period, especially when you’re trying to preserve gas.

: S; |1 o; A8 a MKitty litter or sand – If you’ve ever been stuck in an icy situation you already know that the more your tires spin, the slicker and more slippery your predicament can become. Sometimes all you need is some well-placed sand or kitty litter to provide the traction you’ll need to get moving again.

Windshield washer fluid – You can never have enough washer fluid on hand in the winter. With all the slush and snow the season brings, there’s always a danger of running out at the worst possible time.( n+ l7 K+ [1 a8 y3 ]- S i8 g- S9 r

* e% H3 X# x6 B6 e- ~The Government of Canada has a handy list of things they suggest motorists keep in their emergency kit as well as a list of things you shouldn’t do if you get stuck in the snow. Take a look for some ideas as you put your kit together. And once your kit is loaded and stowed in your trunk, hopefully you’ll be able to “weather” any situation until help arrives.
