What to keep in your roadside emergency kit

The roadside emergency kit that you keep in your car or truck needs to have items in it that can deal with a variety of emergencies of different levels of severity.

For example, one emergency you could encounter while on the road is an injury from an accident, so you should have a fully stocked first aid kit in your roadside emergency kit.

You also need to be prepared for being stranded in your car in a blizzard or other form of bad weather, so your kit needs things that can tide you over during such an event, including water, non-perishable food, blankets, a flashlight and an extra charger for your cell phone.

You also should have tools in your kit that you might need while on the road, including a multipurpose tool and a small shovel.

No one wants to have to deal with an emergency on the road, but being prepared will make it easier.
