You may have a winter cart kit in your vehicle like I do but when was the last time you checked out the contents? Hmmm, I'm busted!

Live long enough in an area that sees extreme weather conditions and you automatically prepare. That includes driving through South Dakota and the Upper Plains with a complete emergency winter car kit. Don't do what I've done the last few years. Grab it off the shelf and toss it in the back.

If you take a look through your kit, compare the items on the list above to what you have.

Remember if you must travel there is a common sense checklist:

  • Know the latest forecast
  • Call ahead
  • Is it safer to stay home?
