The 1 hour long trip can turn into a 3 hour one, so before you venture on for something here are the top six tips that are suggested by experts to stay safe and sound on your road trip:
De-icing spray/washer fluid: For melting the ice de-icing spray which cost only a small amount of money and a washer fluid which can melt the ice and snow are two best things to pack in your bag while venturing to some place. It will really save you from many problems.
All-in-one car emergency kit: Containing flashlight, batteries, jumper cables, first aid kit and a rain poncho; all-in one emergency kit is an essential while on a road trip. Do make sure of purchasing it from an auto supply store before venturing for a road trip.
Portable backup battery: Cool gadgets can keep you entertained on the way, but the battery is sure to die after all. For this, it’s better to carry a portable battery backup rather than carrying a cigarette charger which takes loads of time for charging. Before venturing to some place make sure to charge it and after that just don’t forget to carry it with you. Joos orange solar charger is the other option which charges until there’s some light.
Low-salt snacks: It is good to carry some low-salt snacks like fruit smacks, granola bars etc. Salty snacks should be avoided while venturing with children as they get thirsty inviting a situation where you have to stop at several points for pee.
Emergency supplies: The emergency supplies that you should carry with you include: blankets, flares, hand-cranked radio (for extreme situation), smart phone charger etc.
Kitty litter: Large bag of kitty litter can put aside you when your vehicle gets wedged in a snow or ice. Lay it front of the wheels (front-wheel drive) or behind the tires (rear-wheel drive), it will provide you a grip so that you could easily get out of the hurdle.
