Snow shovel (collapsible or folding) and tire chains: You likely won’t need
these if you live in Florida, but freak snowstorms have killed people in
places where snow hadn’t been seen in years. If your vehicle gets stuck in
the snow, you can use your hands to dig, but a shovel will do the job faster
and better. Tire chains can help you when road conditions are slippery.
Tarp: Throw in an orange one, for visibility, sized roughly 8 feet by 9 feet
(2.5 m x 2.7 m).
Toilet paper: It’s an often overlooked item, but toilet paper can sure come in
handy—not just for the obvious purpose. It can be stuffed into your clothes
to increase their insulating power, and it can be used as tinder for fires.
Tools: Useful tools include a screwdriver, pliers, a wrench, a hatchet or axe,
and jumper cables.
