Just WOW....I am stunned that anyone would deride you for carrying an emergency kit in your car. Apparently they have never had a true emergency.

I carry one because my folks did. And a good thing they did for those times when being stranded on the side of the road with NO ONE in sight for many hours on end.

I saw your post and thought GREAT! This is a service and a reminder for those who may not know. I have enough food and water for a day and a half, a thermal blanket, kitty litter (I don’t carry chains anymore but after last year’s snows I may change that this year, extra batteries, a hazard light, a Mag light, some additional clothing, a pair of boots, spare gloves, and a book to read.

I may be ‘over prepared’ but for anyone ever stuck in a blizzard in Colorado you learn the hard way. That is why when the snows hit the north woods here in Georgia I was not only prepared but able to cope. That and the fact that when I saw they were predicting snow I got home ASAP so got to watch the others on the freeway via television.

We had snow up here about three weeks ago. Sure it didn’t stay on the ground long but last night the winds and wind chill left the roads with black ice. And that is a special joy all its own.

I say good for you and keep posting to remind people how to be safe
