Emergency Car Kit

Well, unfortunately it's that time of year again in Minnesota. And it's cold, really cold. We tend to read those horrible stories about people getting stranded in their car for days at a time and I want to make sure I'm prepared if something terrible ever happens.

There's a few things you need to get your car ready for the brutal MN winters.

1. A warm blanket. When you're stranded and your car runs out of gas, you need to find a way to keep warm. Always keep a blanket in your car.

2. Mighty Jump Pro. Let's say your stuck and your car isn't starting and there is no one around to help jump your engine. This Mighty Jump Pro will come in awfully handy.

3. Always have warm gloves with you. Who knows if you'll have to get out of your vehicle to look for help, the last thing you need is frost bite.

4. If there is snow on the ground, you should have your boots on. All of your body heat escapes through your head and limbs, without warm boots you're less likely to stay warm..

5. Food. You can always eat snow to keep you hydrated but you could be stranded for days and you need food. Keep protein rich foods in your glove box.
