Emergency Car Kit

Emergency Car Kit

At our January Enrichment meeting Liesl  shared with us items we might want to consider placing in an emergency car kit.  She broke the items down into summer, winter and a middle of nowhere things to place in your emergency car kit.

Summer Car Kit 
water/food, flashlight, batteries for flashlight, first aid kit, tools (gloves, leather-man) jumper cables, toilet paper, baby wipes, hazard triangles/flares, cell phone, money, entertainment for kids and or grand-kids.

Winter Car Kit
In addition to the summer car kit add a blanket/hat, hand warmers, gloves, ice scraper, birthday candle, toilet paper heater (See picture below)
  
Middle of Nowhere Kit
Winter car kit plus more food, more water

Toilet Paper Heater

Toilet Paper Heater 
Penny demonstrated how to make a toilet paper heater by using an aluminum paint can, a roll of toilet paper, matches and a bottle of rubbing alcohol. I have included a You Tube video link showing this process as well.  Just click on the title to link to the video.
