Climate change is making winter weather less predictable and spreading uncommon weather to new parts of the country. Preparing for the likely event that it could effect your travel is a sound idea, and with this in mind, Wes Siler has assembled a kit of essentials that should be kept in your car. This isn’t stuff you’re only going to pull out during a zombie apocalypse; these are just common, everyday items you probably already own and will be able to use day to day, too.
Wes recommends:
- Frontrunner Wolfpack organization drawers ($40)
- MSR Windburner propane stove and insulated pot ($150 for the set)
- Good To-Go gourmet dehydrated meals (Prices vary)
- Fix-a-Flat pressurized-air canister ($13)
- NAPA Blue Fuel 1000 Peak-Amps Jump Starter kit ($99)
