Hi all
Im looking for advice in putting together a "stranded" or "get me home" kit
I work in Rutland and i travel some 20 miles from Leicester everyday along the back roads.
Last years snow caught me out and I got stranded with no gear and with totally unacceptable clothing. I dont want to go through that again and im determined to assemble a contingency kit for my vehicle and get some training in how to use the shiney new stuff. I want to avoid the all the gear no idea situation, so what I need is some advice on the following:
Car kit:
A basic set up that includes basics I should be carrying for a stay until rescued situation
A basic change of clothes and footwear kit that should i need to dump the motor and walk out will help me avoid almost dying of hypothermia. So stupid
Im thinking a pack to be kept in the car that holds:
A change of clothing / footwear
A some long term food, MRE, trail mix, energy bars
Some way to heat the food
My thinking kind of trails of here, so any advice would be great
I cant believe i did what I did last year and I ciount myself extremly lucky. I wont be relying on luck anymore.
