The Art of Survival: 10-Day Survival Pack for Your Car

Love to see this kind of obsessive-compulsive creativity...For those of us who tend to fret about things like flu pandemics, the rise of American fascism, or even simply good old-fashioned getting lost in a snow storm, here is a great kit you can make on the cheap and throw in your trunk for a little peace of mind;

It seems like every winter there are news stories of people getting stranded for weeks in bad weather while driving through the many remote areas of our country. In fact, this past winter, our nation held its breath waiting for news of James Kim and his family who got lost traveling the snowy roads of Josephine County in Oregon, not far from where this magazine is published. While his wife and daughters, who stayed with their vehicle, were eventually found alive, he succumbed to the cold as he hiked through snow looking for help for his family. And there are also many cases of people trapped for days in their vehicles after skidding over a bridge embankment, even though they were only a few hundred feet from a busy highway.

I have written many articles about how to prepare your home for a power outage or national emergency, but today I want to address how to be prepared for an emergency when traveling in your car or truck.
