Winter storm supplies for the home and the car

Winter storm supplies: how to choose

A winter storm brings two problems at the same time: the cold, and the power that keeps you warm going out. On the road it can mean hours in a stopped car. At home it can mean a night or more with no heat.

Plan for warmth first, for every person, in the house and in each car. Then light and power, so the dark and a dead phone do not make a cold night worse. The Blackout & Winter Kit is the ready-made version: four emergency sleeping bags, a hand warmer, a solar power bank and a crank radio.

Warmth at home

If the heat goes out, an emergency sleeping bag for each person sends most of the body warmth back toward you. Add a rechargeable hand warmer that splits in two so two people can share it.

Warmth in the car

Keep a TerraShell for each passenger under a seat. If you are stuck on a closed highway, it keeps you warm without running the engine for hours.

Wet and windy weather

For snow, sleet and wind, the emergency poncho is a waterproof shell with a thermal liner that also works as a shelter.

Light, power and news

A solar power bank keeps phones charged, a hand crank radio keeps the news on, and a rechargeable headlamp for each person keeps the house lit.
