Bracken my other half is stuck in traffic at a place called Onich about 12miles south of Fort William, she was stuck there just before 5pm on her way back from Oban,...the road is closed due to a fatal traffic accident, she has been told that the road may not be open until 10pm tonight.... she was driving for an hour before getting stopped, and she will still have an hours drive when she clears the crash site
There is a 161 mile detour if you are southbound, but no detour for northbound traffic.
But because we are preppers, she has both food and water, and sleeping bag if its necessary,...and even a book
You just never know whats around the next corner
10pm, and no movement yet,..she broke out the water and had a yogurt,.. determined to survive..
lessens learnt so far, carry a spoon, eating yogurt with your fingers is ok, but not the best.
Carry a spare midge hood, letting the dog out for a quick walk is to risk death by midge

11.00pm,.. no movement,.. a recovery low loader has removed a smashed motor bike,... must be a sign
A major part of survival is invisibility.
