Small List of Items You Should Keep in Your Car

With winter driving conditions in the full swing of things, you need to be prepared as a 'just in case'. No matter how great of a driver you are, no matter how much you think it'll never happen to you, you never know what'll happen out there; especially driving over the passes this time of year. Here's a small list of items you should keep in your car all year long, but this time of year especially.

Flashlight
Batteries
Water
Blanket
easy non-perishable food (granola bars work great)
First-aid kit
Hat
Gloves
Ice Scrapper
Kitty Litter (to provide traction in snow)
Jumper Cables
Whistle (to signal for help)
Cell phone charger

They also advice you stay in your car with the flashers on waiting for help if you're stranded.
