9. Put together the most complete emergency kit possible, especially for off-road driving.
Use a solid container for your kit (a heavy bag, plastic bucket or case). Some things to include: road flares, blankets, jumper cables, snacks, a small cooking stove, soup packets, cooking pots and eating utensils, thick socks, hat, mittens, tire chains, snow shovel, candle, lighter and matches, flashlight and radio with good batteries, something to read during long waits. Don't forget medicines and essential personal supplies.
