The phone charger is listed but not the phone....add the phone and/or cb radio.

Better idea is just to stay put for the next few days.

Have a great week irregulars!

It's telling that the Wisconsin DOT site recommends "music/games" be carried in your car in winter. The kids can't sit still, even in a blizzard. I recommend lowering the rear windows and telling them that if they don't behave, they'll be tied to the fenders.

Tire chains? I haven't seen those in decades.

I got a charging box... No electricy reguired. It holds a lot of power to power your phone
if you have no external power.
Every once in a while you just plug in the box and you have restored the charge on your box, go to go again.! It is called a "mophie"
KK... about the vodka...
I am basically a Redneck Paramedic, by family history...all Redneck med bags have beer or whiskey or vodka in them , ya never know if you have to burn out an arrow or extract a bebe. I keep RedBull and Skoal in there also, as it keeps the pissed off people in check. I also carry chocolate , mainly for woman that feel they must go the the hospital for cramps, or are cryingn hysterically from PMS, or their boyfriend stayed out too late. So many things and tricks I can tell...but, in time.

Lol, BLB, I didn't know there was a vast calling for BB extractions. Seriously, alcohol is not a great idea to drink when the temps are so low. It makes you feel warm, but actually speeds up hypothermia. Chocolate is almost a necessity to have on hand at all times.

Well, I'm screwed as I have nothing like that in my car. Then again, I drive 1 1/2 miles to work so I'm pretty sure I won't get into trouble.
That being said, if we were to take a trip we would have all the essentials.
Oh wait, I do have a phone charger in my car. Whew!

vodka is a good idea anytime.
Always carry a bottle of vodka or brandy and a couple doughnuts for deputy dog.
Dough.........nut mmmm!
