The skis serve as a last resort in the unfortunate event I get a flat tire and pop my spare tire trying to chip it out of the ice with my ax or I leave my lights on and run down my battery before chopping through my jumper cables trying to chip them out of the ice.

If that happens, I can just click on my skis and ski home.

Of course, to do that I'd have to find my ski boots, which is where a good shovel comes in.

I have two 70 lb sand bags and a 90 lb chunk of alloy steel (rejected part) from work. A rear wheel drive Ranger is a pain in Fargo's six month winter.

at one point, a pickup I owned (and used regularly) actually had grass growing in the back of it.

I don't see this site on the excerpt list, so I reposted the entire article.

some wood, incl a piece of 4x4 and 2x4
jumper cables
tools (wrenches and things)
a 5 gallon bucket of stuff I forget what most of is.

Maj. T.J. "King" Kong:

Survival kit contents check.

In them you'll find: one .45 caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing: antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair a nylon stockings.

Shoot, a fellah could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

Half bag of rained-on horse feed, gas can and jumper cables. Stereotypical Texas truck.
