When dealing with winter you never know how bad it can get.  From the simple snow storm to a wild white out blizzard!  In the case of an emergency staying warm can be essential. With the possibility of getting snowed in or stuck in a Snow or Ice Storm its always great to have a 72 hour kit or an Auto Emergency kit with some basic items to keep you safe.

If you want something more compact than our 72 hour kits or Auto Kits then all you need to do is build your own custom auto kit.  Find a simple container that you will store the supplies.  Some of our most common items are listed bellow, but remember to include some additional personal items like gloves, scarf, heavy socks, jacket and always remember to have an additional layer of clothing per person if possible. So this holiday season don’t get caught off guard when visiting your extended family & friends.

If you ever come across an emergency you will be happy that you took 5-10 minutes to put together your emergency kit.
