What should all be in a roadside emergency kit?

Question

In winter cold if you get stuck, what are the five things you don't want to be without?

Answer 1

Blanket and winter hat.

Basic tools.

Flashlight.

First-aid kit.

Fire extinguisher.

Answer 2

1. Flashlight and spare batteries

2. Duct tape

3. Space blanket

4. Gloves

5. Fold able shovel

The flashlight will enable you to see and be seen. The duct tape will aid in winterizing and cold weather protection. The space blanket can prevent hypothermia and exposure. The gloves will allow you to touch freezing items safely and provide additional protection from the elements for warmth. The fold able shovel will allow you to dig yourself out or even to build shelter.

These items should be in addition to a good first aid kit and a basic tool kit which should be in your car year around.

1. bag of sand

2. chains

3. cell phone with car charger

jumper cables, flash light, flares, few tools like wrench pliers, oil anti freeze

Answer 5

Some blankets - possibly a space blanket if you can get hold of one - camping shops sell them

Some snacks/chocolate bars - high energy stuff so it will help your body generate heat

Something to make tea with - carry tea bags, bottled water, an element which you can plug into the cigarette lighter, a mug and some of those little containers of milk that they have at service stations - sugar too if you want it.

A spade to dig yourself out of the snow

A mobile phone to call somebody to help you

Jumper Cabels

An emergency cell phone (like a prepaid)

Blankets

Some warm prtable clothing like gloves or hats

Batteries

Books for different ages (if you have kids, so keep them entertained)

Emergency cash (so if you get your wallet lost or stolen you will at least have some gas money)
