Take a moment during Family Home Evening to gather the items you already have around your home for a car survival kit. Whatever items you do not currently have make a plan to include in your monthly budget to purchase. Try to include the following items:
- blankets
- flares
- work gloves
- high energy foods (candy, nuts, and dried fruit)
- first aid kit
- flashlight
- extra clothing
- knives
- matches
- water
- maps
- jumper cables
- small shovel (folding)
- tow chain
- windshield scraper
- paper and pen
- bag of sand
- Also check for proper tools to change a tire.
