Quick Overview

The AAA Severe Weather Road Kit is a 65-piece winter car kit that helps a stranded driver stay warm, see, dig out and signal while waiting for help, with a basic first aid set in the same bag.

Its 65 pieces pack into a slim AAA double-sided carry bag with AAA zipper pulls. Cold weather gear includes a 3-piece fleece set of cap, gloves and scarf, 2 hand warmers and a survival blanket. Light and signal gear includes a flashlight, 2 AA batteries, 3 candles, a box of waterproof matches and an emergency whistle. A folding shovel with sheath, the first aid set and an AAA Emergency Car Care Guide round out the bag.

The first aid set holds 15 bandages at 3/8" x 1-1/2", 20 bandages at 3/4" x 3", 6 antiseptic towelettes, a sting relief pad, a 2" x 2" gauze pad, a 1/2" adhesive tape roll and a first aid flyer. An AAA membership brochure is also inside. The kit measures 12.25" L x 3.25" W x 9" H and weighs 3.6 lb. Food and water are not included. SKU 4390AAA.

Stage the kit in the trunk or behind a seat, and inspect it on a set schedule: test the flashlight, check any dates printed on the components and replace anything you use. Food and water are not included, so pack your own drinking water alongside it.

Field Application Steps

1. STAGE THE KIT: Keep the kit in the trunk or behind a seat of each vehicle you drive in winter. At 3.6 lb in a slim carry bag, it stows beside other gear without taking over the space.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the AAA carry bag and check each piece against the contents list: cold weather gear, light and signal, the folding shovel and the first aid set. Read the AAA Emergency Car Care Guide and the first aid flyer before you need them.

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT: Note where the flashlight, the 2 AA batteries, the emergency whistle and the first aid set sit in the bag, so you can find them in the dark or with gloves on.

4. STAY WARM FIRST: If your car stalls or slides off the road in the cold, call for help if you can. Put on the fleece cap, gloves and scarf, open the hand warmers as their packaging directs and wrap up in the survival blanket while you wait.

5. LIGHT AND SIGNAL: Use the flashlight to see and be seen after dark, and use the emergency whistle to draw attention instead of shouting. If you light a candle with the waterproof matches, set it in a stable spot away from fabric and fuel.

6. DIG OUT WITH THE SHOVEL: When it is safe to step outside, unfold the shovel and clear snow from around the tires. Watch for passing traffic, and work in short spells so you stay warm and dry.

7. HANDLE SMALL INJURIES: For a minor cut or sting, open the first aid set and find the item by name, such as a bandage, an antiseptic towelette or the sting relief pad. Use it as its packaging and the first aid flyer direct, and call 911 for anything more serious.

8. REPORT AND RESTOCK: When help arrives, tell responders about any injury and what you used. Afterward, replace the hand warmers, candles, matches and first aid items you used, and return the kit to the vehicle.
