Snow bother AGAIN!!!

[Highlander]

I came upon a preppers problem just the other day,.. if we had been in one of those snow jams, we would have been grinning like a Cheshire cat, because of course being a preper we have the gear with us.

In our case we carry it in a top box on the car

.... but we were glad we were not in those jams, because if we had of been, we would have got out of the car with those grins on our faces, went to open the top box,...only to find that with it being locked for so long and salt spray etc,... there was no way it would have opened

I only found this out because I wanted the top box off to put the car through the car wash, and thought I would check on the gear while it was off.

So,... as in life, another lesson learnt,..from now on I am not going to use a lock, but will use cable ties instead, I always have cutter, and cable ties in the car,... emergency equipment is no good if you cant get to it
