At Mitchell Volkswagen in Canton, CT, we are always ready to help our customers and community put together an annual winter survival kit for their vehicles. Several things should be included in the winter survival kit to help you if you get stuck on the side of the road and in cold weather. Some items are great, just too bad because they are personalized to your family.
The first step in putting together a winter survival kit is getting everything together to get your vehicle back on the road if you have to wait for a long time for help. A folding shovel, cat litter for traction, hay tire repair cat, and a first aid kit are all the subsidies. You may also want a pair of jumper cables as well as a portable battery charger.
Everything else in your winter survival kit should have to do with staying warm, eating, and staying hydrated. Include water, snacks, and things the people in your vehicle enjoy. A favorite book and some games are great if you have children as passengers.
