When we lived in the Dakotas years ago, the natives told us to pack a sleeping bag with a blanket, tinned food, crackers water, a flash light and a red bandana for winter driving. The bandana was to be used to tie to the radio antenna in case the car became buried in snow during a storm.
We left the year before just such a blizzard hit. The people there were deluxe preppers.
What is a car antennae? Many Darwin Award prospects out on Long Island Distressway.
Vintage Preppers == Common Sense Folks
We lived in Rapid City for a year and that is exactly that got us going on our preps and Bobs 25 years ago. I miss South Dakota.
Doesn’t matter where you live. Prior Planning Prevent Piss Poor Performance. I worked a good part of my life as a construction laborer and learned to keep a blanket, shovel , flashlight, batteries, jumper cables,water etc. in my car at all times. I’ve always been a history buff and was always impressed how a good soldier was equipped at all times for combat. I’m not in ‘’combat’’ but sometimes the weather can be ‘’the enemy’’. Be prepared.
