Our cars are some of our most valuable possessions. They are always with us, nearly as often as our cell phones, so it makes sense that when disaster strikes, our wheels will likely be well within reach.

If any of this happens on a road that doesn't get much traffic, you could be facing tough times. Unless, of course, you know how to stock your vehicle for an emergency.

You'll want food, water, and several other supplies, depending on the conditions you expect to be met with.

    If traveling always take water and food. Winter time you definitely need a heavy blanket in case you break down.

    This list overlooks the three most important items…

    Toilet paper, matches or preferably a flint type fire starter (not a lighter, they can dry out), and a jacket…..
