Summer Safety Kit - Don't Get Caught Without It!!

Missouri comes alive during the summer. Temperatures rise, hotels are booked, the Lake of the Ozarks begins buzzing with the motors of hundreds of people looking for a great vacation getaway, and the roadways fill up with excited motorists looking for their latest adventure.

There are few things quite so enjoyable as an exciting, well-planned summer road trip. In addition to researching routes and booking hotels, it's important to put together a car summer safety emergency kit. The team at Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC is here to help you have a fun, safe vacation, so we put together a simple packing list for your summer safety kit. Make sure you have all of these things packed before striking out on the open road!


Storage Container
Do you have a old basket or box sitting around? Put it to good use by using it to store all your emergency supplies in one easy, tidy place!

Cell Phone Charger
In the event of an emergency, being able to call for help is your best bet. Purchase an extra charger that stays in your car 24/7.

Water and Snacks
It's always important to stay hydrated, but it's especially important during the hot summer months. Pack an extra gallon of water, along with some non-perishable, hydrating snacks like dried fruit, unsalted nuts, and energy bars.

First Aid Kit
You never know what could happen, so it's best to be prepared! A fully stocked first-aid kit will help you prepare for cuts, scrapes, and other potential wounds.

Reflective Emergency Blanket and Raincoat
These two essentials will help you prepare for the elements. You can use the reflective blanket to create shade in the blistering summer heat, and the raincoat can help you stay dry during heavy summer rains.

Pocket Knife, Basic Tool Set, Jumper Cables, and Fuses
While seemingly inconsequential, these simple items can leave you stranded for hours if you're caught without them. For a few extra dollars, you can invest in some backups that can make a world of difference.

Spare Tire
Your vehicle should come equipped with a spare tire and the tools needed to install it, but it's always a good idea to double check this! Our recent blog on how to change a tire has a complete checklist of all the tools you'll need.

Gloves, Flashlights, Batteries, Tire Pressure Gauge, Duct Tape, Rags, and Tow Strap
Round out your summer emergency kit with these simple necessities. You never know what you might end up needing while out on the open road, so it's always best to be prepared!

Are you holding off on your next big road trip because you're still looking for the perfect family vehicle? Come see us at your favorite Lake of the Ozarks car dealership. We can help you buy a car at the Lake.
