I keep a 1 gallon sheet rock compound bucket full of old sandblasting media.

I don't like cat litter for traction becasue it gets like pig snot (slippery as hell) when it gets wet. A german entrenching tool to dig packed snow to clear asphault if needed and a set of strap on emergency chains, as a emergency show kit.....( also a stadium blanket and gloves)

but grab 4-6 sacks (50lb or more)of play sand for kids at home depot, and put them in garbage bags.....great ballast, if you get in an accident they will rupture and not kill you, and in a pinch great to get you out of an icey mess.
