a winter survival kit for your
car, but it'll be money well
spent in a crisis situation, ac-
cording to AAA Michigan.
Contents for a winter
emergency kit take up little
space in the trunk and can be
bought at many stores or auto
part outlets.
"Being stranded in a
snowstorm or stuck in an
isolated area is a possibility
for drivers in winter," said
Gerald Gutowski, AAA
Michigan Emergency Road
Service manager. "Carrying
this equipment in your car
can help prevent a life-
threatening situation."
The kit should include a
thermal blanket or news-
papers; extra gloves, hats and
boots; snow shovel; cat litter
for traction; dried fruit and
candy; jumper cables; ice
scraper/brush; first aid kit;
flashlight; tool kit; and a can-
dle, matches and coffee can
for heat.
"The snow shovel and cat
litter from the kit, along with
floor mats from the car, may
help clear a path and provide
enough traction to get you
unstuck if you run off the
road," Mr. Gutowski said.
"But if the car remains stuck
or a blizzard is raging, the re-
maining items can make be-
ing stranded a great deal
more comfortable."
Motorists caught in a bliz-
zard should stay with their
car unless they can see
shelter within a few hundred
feet of the vehicle. It's too
easy to become disoriented
walking farther.
To stay warm, put on the ex-
tra clothing, wrap up in the
blanket or use newspapers as
insulation between skin and
clothing, Mr. Gutowski said.
If the car's exhaust pipe is
free of snow, run the engine
and heater for about 10
minutes every half hour.
Make sure to crack the win-
dows to avoid carbon monox-
ide poisoning.
If the tail pipe cannot be
cleared, light the candle and
place it in the coffee can to
create a small-scale furnace.
Again, crack the windows
slightly.
Keep snow away from win-
dows, doors and tail pipe and
tie a brightly colored piece of
clothing to the antenna to
alert rescue workers to your
location.
Motorists who must drive in
heavy snows also should con-
sider purchasing tire chains.
However, tire chains are pro-
hibited on dry pavement.
