• brightly colored cloth
• sand or a bag of cat litter
• shovel
• candles and matches
• non perishable high calorie foods, (nuts, raisins, and candy bars)
• newspapers (for insulation)
• a first aid kit
• jumper cables
• small, sharp knife
• large plastic garbage bag
• cell phone adapter to plug into lighter
