Sleeping bags are better than blankets, I use to take sleeping bag to my son's football games in High school. Better than blankets when it was cold in Michigan. Keeps your butt warm also. lots of bottled water can be kept from freezing if in sleeping bag with you..

I cannot tell from your map where you are starting from and ending at....I wouldn't try to cross the Rockys during winter, but then I wasn't crazy about crossing them in the summer. Any food that doesn't readily freeze. beef jerky, dry cereal etc in case you get stuck for a couple of days...

Don't know if they have small heaters that can be plugged into cigarette lighters if you have one in your car...

Will you be taking small kids with you? No babies in case of getting stuck....avalances sometimes close the interstates, but they are the best to travel on as they try to keep them open before other roads... Good luck and get yourself on the freepers prayer list....
