Old man winter is setting in, especially on the East Coast of the United States.  We’ve seen several storms blow through the area dumping snow up and down the I-95 corridor.  

If this continues through the holiday season, travelers will find themselves in tough driving conditions or even worse stranded on the side of the road.  So as you start preparing for your road trips to visit family and friends, we wanted to provide you with a list of items we think you should have ready at hand: 

  1. Blanket: to keep warm
  2. Flashlight: it gets dark early and you need to see
  3. Jumper Cables: to restart the car 
  4. First Aid Kit: incase the kids get to rowdy
  5. Flares: who doesn’t love flares every once and a while?
  6. Snow Shovel: just incase you want to get a workout 
  7. Kitty Litter/Gravel/Sand: we’d say drop it in 4-wheel low, but that might be an option for you
  8. Bottle of Water: because it’s good for you
  9. Dried Food: in case you get the munchies
  10. Light Sticks: no not the ones you used to go to rave parties with
  11. Whistle: just to be annoying
  12. Phone Charger: we all know the phone dies at the wrong time
  13. Windshield Deicer:  because seeing out of the front of the car is cool
  14. Wind Up Radio: who wants to miss Prairie Home Companion?
  15. Games: as you wait for help you should keep the mind busy


While we joke about how you might use these items, these are serious goods that can help you out of a tight spot.  What are you waiting for?  Get to the store now, and start packing a car survival kit!
