If you are stranded during the winter season, you could be susceptible to frostbite, hypothermia, or other serious health issues. Therefore, it is important that you have an emergency kit in your car that allows you to stay safe until help arrives.
Ideally, this kit will contain plenty of warm clothes, blankets, and anything else that can help to guard against the elements. It should also have a cellphone that you can use to call a family member, friend, or emergency services in your area for help.
Finally, be sure to stock your vehicle with water and nonperishable food as there is no guarantee that sustenance will be available in the event that you are stranded. Nonperishable foods include energy bars, most types of canned fruit, and beans, and they can provide you with protein and other nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy and alert.
