A Flare For Safety
Checking your roadside emergency kit might not sound like the most exciting thing in the world. But trust meβitβs way more fun than being stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire and no way to change it. So letβs get started. First, make sure you have plenty of water and a few shelf-stable snacks in your kit. Road trip munchies are a must, after all. And throw in a roll of toilet paper while youβre at it. Youβll thank me later. Youβll also need jumper cables, a flashlight, a safety vest, and basic first aid, along with a multi-tool and a portable air compressor if youβre feeling fancy.
Next, itβs time to talk about flares. You know those old-school combustible flares that your dad kept in the trunk? Yeah, get rid of those (but check with your local trash service to ensure you do so responsibly, please). We recommend the Lizard Flare Flameless LED Road Flares. Not only are they safer and more eco-friendly, but they also offer 9 safety modes for any situation. They are durable, weatherproof, and wonβt expire. No matter where you go, any trip will be easier if you set out prepared.
