Do you keep a winter survival pack in your car

Wot no hot Toddies to warm the inner man

 

I carry deicer, a scraper and that's it.
I suspect if I were planning a long journey and thought the weather might turn I'd pack other stuff.

 

I would guess that if one was or should have been aware that the weather could turn nasty it would be foolhardy not to carry a basic survival kit that included warning triangles,tow rope,torch,chains and a mobile phone in addition to Obi's survival pack.

If you live in an area that is prone to have icy /snow covered roads then common sense suggests that summer tyres should be replaced with winter tyres

IMO "plan for the worst and hope for the best"

 

Just remembered I have 2 hi-viz vests and a triangle in the car from when I drove in Europe and I've never taken them out of the car

 

I just carry a massive box with anything to do with repairs and maintenance, even med kits and stuff, never had to use it, seems like more of an apocalypse survival pack at this point ^^

 

There's a fine line between carrying enough stuff to see you through an unexpected event and carrying too much extra weight.
A few KGs of stuff in the boot and I really notice the difference!

 

Yup, I definitely need to throw some crap out then, I even have a Litre of water in case I run out of drinks for whatever reason haha

 

It's the drop in MPG I notice more
