February is coming to a close and that means that Spring will be here before we know it! With that being said, we’re sure that you’ve been planning out your next adventure, and before you hit the road we want to remind you to double-check/ restock your emergency kit for your car! Don’t have one of those? No problem, because this week we laid out everything you’ll need in case you find yourself stuck in a sticky situation. I know what you’re thinking, you don’t need an emergency kit, however, if you’ll be adventuring off the beaten path, it is always a good idea to have backup…even if it’s as small as a bandaid! So take a peek below and be sure to get your DIY emergency kit ready for the next road trip! Oh, and don’t forget to service your ride before hitting the open road!
