A few notes about my board

• I go to school in an area that gets very cold and a fair amount of snow. It’s important to have an emergency kit just in case you do get stranded

• As always, make sure you change the information to make it most applicable to your residents.

• Hope this is helpful!

Let’s face it… if you get stranded, you’re going to need to stay warm some how!

Extra hats & mittens

They don’t take much room and will help keep you stay warm!

#5 #6Cat litter or sand

Keep a bag in your vehicle to help your wheels gain traction when stuck!

Drinking water

It’s always a good idea to have some water on hand, good to drink, or cook with depending on how long you’re stuck!

#7 #8Food

Keep energy bars, cans of soup and can opener, or other non-perishable items. You never know they might just come in handy!

WhistleA whistle can be heard much further than you yelling for help. Invest in one and keep it in your car!

#9 #10Mirror

Not for you to gussy up with… for you to signal help!

FlashlightAlso can be used to signal for help, but also for you to see in the dark. Extra batteries too of course!

#12#11Red

HandkerchiefTo help you flag down some help.

Maps and Compass?

Now that many people have smartphones… you may not know how to use a map and compass, but if you’re stranded in the middle of nowhere (with no service), it might be useful to know how!

#14#13KnifeEven if you’re not stranded… having a knife may come in handy one day.

Snow brush and ice scraper

A winter must have! Might as well invest in a good one, it’s going to be a long winter without it (or even with it)

#15RopeIt has many uses, but can serve as a guide in case you have to venture away from your car in a blizzard!
