🚨 The $25 Car Survival Kit That Could Save Your Life This Winter — 13 Items Most People Forget
January 2022. Interstate 95. Hundreds of drivers trapped for 27 hours in a winter storm — no heat, no food, no plan. On one of the busiest highways in America. In the richest country on earth.
They got rescued. But what if they didn't?
AAA handles 8.1 million roadside emergencies every winter. Yet only 8% of American drivers carry any kind of winter kit in their vehicle. That means 92% of the cars around you right now have absolutely nothing between the driver and a freezing highway.
In this video, we build a 13-item winter car survival kit from just two stores — Dollar Tree and Walmart — for under $25. But this isn't your insurance company's cute little roadside checklist. Every single item in this kit pulls double duty: it works when AAA is 20 minutes away, AND it still works when AAA isn't coming at all.
Some of these items will seem obvious. Most of them won't. And at least three of them are things no prepper list on the internet has ever told you to put in your car — but they might be the most versatile survival tools dollar-for-dollar that exist.
We cover the science behind why cold kills faster than you think, the winter driving mistakes that turn vehicles into traps, and the one storage rule that 90% of people get catastrophically wrong before the kit ever gets used.
If you drive a car in winter, you need to watch this. The whole build takes 20 minutes and costs less than the pizza you'll order this weekend.
