Winter Driving Survival Kit

Alcohol is not a good survival item and should never be part of your survival kit. And remember: NEVER drink and drive!
Not only can the candle and small tin help with lighting, but also generate some heat while waiting for help.
It's a good idea to keep a winter survival kit in your vehicle. Having essential supplies can provide some comfort and safety for you and your passengers should you become stranded. Recommended items include:
* Ice scraper/snowbrush
* Shovel
* Sand or other traction aid
* Tow rope or chain
* Booster cables
* Road flares or warning lights
* Gas line antifreeze
* Flashlight and batteries
* First aid kit
* Fire extinguisher
* Small tool kit
* Extra clothing and footwear
* Blanket
* Non-perishable energy foods – e.g., chocolate or granola bars, juice, soup, bottled water
* Candle and a small tin can
* Matches
In blizzard conditions, especially overnight, make sure one person stays awake, because help could take some time to arrive. Maintain circulation by moving your feet, hands, and arms.
