If you have the right supplies in your vehicle, you can be prepared for anything that might happen. Plus, it will give you peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter if you have a flat tire, dead battery, overheated engine, or another issue, you should always keep your emergency car kit equipped with these essential items from Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-cellphone-amp-charger\"><strong>1. Cellphone &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/cell-phone-chargers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Charger<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you&#8217;re stranded with your car in the middle of nowhere, a cellphone is going to be the number one item you need. Of course, the cellphone won&#8217;t be much help&nbsp;if the battery is nearly or completely dead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">We suggest keeping a spare cellphone charger in your car emergency kit. The best option is an emergency&nbsp;charger, which you can use without the power of your car.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-a-roadside-emergency-kit\"><strong>2. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/roadside-emergency-kits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roadside Emergency Kit<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You can buy basic car emergency kits that come already assembled. Many of these kits include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/first-aid-kits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">First aid kit<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LED <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/flashlights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flashlight<\/a>&nbsp;(with batteries)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/tire-sealant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tire sealant<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Road flares<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poncho&nbsp;or blanket<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic tools, such as a screwdriver or pliers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">They&#8217;re affordable, and you can keep them in a compact case for easy car storage. If you don&#8217;t want to buy a premade one, you can also create your own with the materials listed above.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-road-triangles\"><strong>3. Road Triangles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">When your car breaks down, the last thing you need is for oncoming traffic to not see you. Using a reflective emergency warning triangle to warn other drivers is important when you&#8217;re working on your car or waiting for a tow truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Place the reflective triangle&nbsp;on the same side of the road, about 150 feet behind your vehicle. Make sure to put the triangle on the side of the road or shoulder, not in the way of traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-water-amp-nonperishable-food\"><strong>4. Water &amp; Non-Perishable Food<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Car emergencies can leave you stranded for a long period of time. Having a supply of drinking water to stay hydrated is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Granola and protein bars can provide energy if you are stuck with your car for awhile. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/jerky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jerky<\/a> will keep for a very long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Having an emergency food supply is especially important on longer trips, where you may get stranded in desolate areas.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5nbspfire-extinguisher\"><strong>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/fire-extinguishers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fire Extinguisher<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">It may seem dramatic to have a&nbsp;fire extinguisher in your car emergency kit at all times. But a car fire can start from a simple short circuit or an oil leakage. You can use a fire extinguisher to put out a small fire, preventing more damage to your vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Always use caution in a vehicular fire. Get away from the fire as soon as possible before attempting to put it out with an extinguisher.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6nbspgloves-amp-rags\"><strong>6. Gloves &amp; Rags<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Working on your vehicle can be a dirty job, so you will definitely want rags and gloves in case of an emergency. Latex or disposable gloves are cost-effective options for a car emergency kit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Paper or cotton shop towels also come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-duct-tape\"><strong>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/duct-tape\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Duct Tape<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You can use duct tape for a variety of things, especially in a car emergency. If your first aid kit runs out of adhesive bandages, use duct tape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You can also use duct tape to hold together a broken headlight, taillight, or leaking hose.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-jumper-cables-amp-battery-jump-starter\"><strong>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/jumper-cables-and-clamps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jumper Cables<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/portable-power\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Battery Jump Starter<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>This will allow you to help yourself and others if your battery dies and you get stranded.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-spare-tire\"><strong>9. Spare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/tires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tire<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>One of the most common reasons people get stranded on the side of the road is because they get a flat tire. To be prepared for this situation, you should have a spare tire in your vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also make sure you have the proper tools to change a tire. This includes a tire iron and car jack.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-winter-car-supplies\"><strong>10. Winter Car Supplies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you live somewhere that has cold winters, you&#8217;ll need the necessary equipment to stay safe on the roads in all weather conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have an snow brush and ice scraper to clear your windows. You&#8217;ll also want a shovel and some sort of traction aid (like sand or cat litter), in case you get stuck in the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also keep a blanket or jacket of some sort in your vehicle. So you&#8217;ll have something to keep you warm if you get stranded in bad weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to make sure you have all the necessary equipment to keep you safe when things go wrong. That&#8217;s why you can find these products at your local Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"bb-carousel bb-category-carousel\" data-cy=\"bb-category-carousel\">\n\t\t<div
