‘Canadian’ Winter Survival Kit offers all the cold-weather necessities like beer

Winter may finally be over, but one Toronto graphic designer has some suggestions as to how to make the next one be a little bit easier.

Beth Chapleau designed the Canadian Winter Survival Kit, which provides all the necessities for braving a Canadian winter. About the size of an average six-pack, Chapleau was inspired to create a kit that needed some assembly, and designed the logo, labels and packaging for it. The kit contains wool socks, a lift ticket, a condom, three beers and three bottles of the Newfoundland drink of legend, Screech.

The kit comes with instructions on how to 'assemble' everything, featuring Canadian images like a lumberjack and antlers. Chapleau says on her website she used a red and black plaid pattern throughout the kit to tie everything together and 'serve as a reminder of Canadiana.'

There's no mention of whether Chapleau will try and market the kit. For now, Canadians will have to just take inspiration from her work and assemble the necessities themselves when the mercury starts to drop.

Here's a closer look at the kit:
