Movie Quotes – Day 60

Put a warm rug in the car. It’s cold outside when you have to go about naked. — The Invisible Man

I can’t wait for spring, mostly so that I can recover some space in the cab of my truck. I’ve added extra food, clothing, and water, my two poncho liners, and extra batteries for the Maglight. Yes, you need things in the car emergency kit in the summer, but having to keep enough stuff to keep us alive for a day or three because it would be unsafe to walk through the snow and find help fills up available storage. What extra preparations do you all make during the winter months?
