Hi all --

Still lurking, still learning. wink

I'm in the process of re-stocking the car for winter, and have some questions regarding the kitty litter that several of you (including myself) store in your kit.

Have you ever actually used the kitty litter for traction/etc in an emergency situation? And if so, what were the results? Was it effective? Also, are there better alternatives?

The reason I ask: Kitty litter bags can apparently develop structural integrity issues over time. The bag that I'd kept in the trunk for about 3-4 years fell to pieces when I was moving it the other day. Microscopic bits of dusty clay EVERYWHERE.
