Winter months can mean hazardous driving conditions in Appomattox, VA, and many parts of the country. AutoMattox suggests that you be prepared for weather emergencies with a winter survival kit. Here are a few tips for putting yours together.
The first step is to buy a container or tub of some sort. The style doesn't matter as much as the lid. It needs to be one that locks in place. As for what to put in the tub, start with some personal items like flashlights, non-perishable protein bars, and water. A blanket is always a good choice, and you may even want to include gloves or hand warmers.
At the top of the list for vehicle items are a set of basic tools and jumper cables. You may even choose to include some extra coolant or other fluids. Always be sure you have a mobile phone charger that stays in the vehicle.
