RE: Winter car prep scenario
I've got 4 ratpacks in the car kit, so that should keep me going for 8 days (4200 calories per pack)
I have 4 different ways of cooking in there, about 8 litres of water, shelter, a distress flare, ham radio clothes, fuel, walking poles, little'uns buggy (3 wheeled off road jobby - could be used to scoot me down the road if necessary), glow-sticks, pretty comprehensive first aid kit, fire kits.
I should be okay if I'm not bleeding to death. Easy to take the seats out too, so if necessary I'd burn those to attract attention and kip in the truck.
It'd have to be one hell of a smash to make mine undrivable though - I probably wouldn't survive the initial impact if the car didn't make it!
Also, should I not return home when expected the missus would alert the MSG and hopefully (hopefully!) they'd come out and find me.
Obviously this would be better before I've dismantled the truck and set bits on fire...
