So, my wife has to drive an hour back and forth through rural, mountainous New Mexico to get to work - it's all highway, but there are definitely sections where there's no cell signal and there aren't that many other cars at times - so I want to put together an emergency kit for her. I could use some help making a list of what should be inside. We turned on Find my Phone (which is great unless she gets stuck somewhere without service, I guess), and I generally know when she'll be driving, so if she wound up being late and I didn't hear from her, I'd know to go looking. But, for instance, this fall I got stuck in a U-Haul and it took over 6 hours for a tow truck, so I'd like to be prepared for anything like that. All this is to say, I'm not making a crazy expensive kit so that she can survive the apocalypse - but if she has to pull over to wait out a storm or anything like that, I'd like her to feel safe.
Here's what I'm thinking so far:
- Dynamo flashlight / radio
- Thermal blankets
- Extra scarf, gloves, hat
- Non spoiling food
- Glow sticks
- Hand warmers
- Reflective duct tape
- Water (is there a way to keep it from freezing?)
Anything critical that I'm missing?
TIA!
