When winter falls, people in our area face cold weather and slippery conditions. At Auto Mall, we encourage all of our customers to make a winter survival kit to keep in the car. Whether you're dealing with a white-out snowstorm or wet roads, your kit can help keep you safe in case of an emergency.
At a minimum, your survival kit should include the things you need to stay warm. Start by packing a heavy blanket, warm boots, gloves, and a hat. Then, add in a few bottles of water and some snacks. Your supplies should be adequate to carry you through a few hours to a full night.
If your car slides off the road in the winter in Brattleboro, VT, you might need to treat injuries or attract attention. Stock your kit with first aid supplies and a flashlight. Do you ever drive in remote areas? Consider adding road flares for extra visibility.
