"There are several things you'll want to keep in your car for winter emergencies, including a first aid kit, blankets, jumper cables, and even an emergency radio. But what about food? You don't want to be sitting there for hours, hungry and freezing cold, with nothing to eat. We talked to a few safety experts, including Dr. Jason Schroder, medical director and co-founder of Craft Body Scan;"
""When choosing food for a winter car emergency kit, the goal is calories, stability, and ease of eating in cold conditions," says Angela D'Amico of Ready For Unsteady. She says that you want to look for foods that are non-perishable, since you're keeping them in the car for months at a time. Additionally, it's important to choose higher-calorie options, since you'll want food that can sustain you for a longer period of time, as well as items that won't freeze easily in cold conditions."
Winter storms can make driving hazardous and can delay emergency assistance. When travel during inclement winter weather is unavoidable, prepare the vehicle with emergency supplies. Keep a first aid kit, blankets, jumper cables, and an emergency radio in the car. Include nonperishable, high-calorie foods that remain stable and are easy to eat in cold conditions. Choose items that resist freezing and provide sustained energy. Protein and energy bars meet these criteria and are appropriate for long-term storage in a vehicle. Storing these items increases readiness and reduces risk during prolonged roadside waits.
