Shovel
Blankets or sleeping bag
Extra clothing including hat and gloves
24 hours worth of food
De-Icer
Rock Salt
Flashlight with spare batteries
Road Flares or Reflective Triangles
Gas Can

Booster cables

I looked like an idiot on the bus this morning!

Good advice Dan. I carry those supplies in my front pocket every day. You just never know when you'll be catapulted from the deep south in to Antarctica.

Yup, the Air Force used to tell us what to carry in our vehicles in Montana......#1 was a empty coffee can with a couple of candles and matches. It was supposed to keep you from freezing to death. Thank goodness I never had to test that idea.....

The whole point was that it was a joke, so the longer the list, the funnier it is when you think about taking all that stuff on a bus!

I took a wilderness survival course in college that used some old military survival films as aids.

One said if you are in your tiny raft, and sharks come up to close, wait till they are almost next to you and stick your head into the water and scream.

Supposed to scare them away.....but I don't think so.

Ahh, the military life!

If it was me on that raft, and been out there for long without eating, the sharks might want to watch out for me. I have no problem at all with sushi.
