As previously stated (I think more than a few times) all over my site – There have been so many accidents claiming the lives of people in our area lately. This year I am adamant on making sure our vehicle is ready and loaded with a Winter Emergency Kit, should something terrible happen.
…And yeah. Literally *knocking on wood* as I type
Okay – So let’s start off by saying, there is a simple Winter Car Care Kit we can put together and there is also a more extensive Winter Car Care Kit we can put together. My husband and I live in the heart of the city. This basically means the chances of us getting ‘literally stuck’ without someone around at any given time is slim to none. It’s either city driving or freeway driving. But you just never know what could happen.

The extensive Vehicle Emergency Kit is great for anyone taking longer drives where cars and people are few and far between, or those planning longer out of town trips for the Holidays. We have relatives who live quite a few hours away and right in the snow belt of Ontario (definitely an intense drive in harsh weather). The extensive kit is definitely something to keep in mind for travels such as that.

Creating your Winter Emergency Car Kit is so easy, whether adding all the items or just a few of the basic necessities.
Not only is this is a great idea for our own vehicles, why not throw a few kits together for your children who may be traveling in Winter, or friends and relatives for a thoughtful and useful gift
If I could ask one simple thing to any reader, or anyone out there, it would be: Please…Do this.
You do not have to pack your vehicles like the end of the World is near, but having any of these safety items on hand {at any time} just could save yours, or another life. Please drive with caution. Stay off your cell phones, leave early, cancel plans if weather gets *that* bad. I’d much rather see my friends and family arrive safely at a later date than to risk theirs or anyone else’s lives on the road,.
If you don’t want to purchase all these items separately, some companies {such as AAA} have put together some amazing Severe Weather Roadside Kits with a few of the basic essentials.
