How Do You Pack An Emergency Kit For The Car?
If you’re like many people, you probably take your car into the garage for a tune-up or oil change prior to a big trip. While this is a good way to ensure your safety on the road, you should also be sure that your car is well stocked with supplies in the event of an emergency. Creating an emergency kit for your car is simple and may save your life while traveling. Assemble a first aid kit that includes the following items: bandages, latex gloves, safety pins, soap, sunscreen, sterile gauze pads, sterile roller bandages, non-prescription drugs, scissors, tweezers, needle and thread, antiseptic, thermometer, petroleum jelly, moistened towlettes, triangular bandages and tongue blades. Include basic car repair items, such as a set of jumper cables, a tool kit, tire chains, small shovel, ice scraper, a brush, can for fixing flat tires and extra washer fluid. Bring a supply of water in the amount of 1 gallon per person. Also pack a supply of non-perishable food. Buy freeze-dried food packets
