After watching the big winter traffic jam in VA, I wonder how many prepare their vehicles for winter. Even a trip across town can turn into a nightmare under the right (wrong) conditions. A few years back I started carrying my heating pad in the car as a source of personal heat. Yeah, you know, the heating pad used when you have sore muscles? In the winter, I keep it in the car.
These days, you can find heating pads and even small stadium blankets in 12v and usb versions. I like the usb version because I have an alternate power supply; not dependant on my vehicle battery. With a 10,000 mAh battery I have a personal heat source for about 10 hours. Granted, it's not a lot but it's enough. You can even find usb heating pads where multiples can be plugged into one outlet.
My battery is my emergency starter. So now you have a double service item - heating pad and emergency heat. As well, I have a 4x use item in my starter, light, phone charger and emergency heat.
I'm certain you can find this at a local store but provide an Amazon link so everyone has at least one access point.
