Wheee- that's got me laughing! LOL!
Geez, I just remembered I also carry 50 feet of 550 paracord, and a nylon towstrap.
I think all of this started years ago, after a large snowstorm, when I was cruising the backroads, looking at the lovely scenery. The storm had been especially bad, and there were still a lot of cars and trucks abandoned all over when they couldn't move any longer.
But I was on a back-country road that had been fairly well-travelled, although a bit slippery. Still, the woods and fields were beautiful after the snow. I crested the top of a small hill, and saw disaster staring me in the face.
At the bottom of the hill, jammed between the two banks on either side of the road, was an abandoned 7-Up delivery truck totally blocking the road. I then knew why the road was icy, because I tried to stop, and slid all the way down the hill, stopping just a few feet from the truck.
Backing up was impossible, but I soon had company as a couple other cars and trucks came down the hill after me, and also stopped just short of hitting something, including my car. It seems the pop truck tried using the road, and spun out and wedged itself at the bottom of the road. It had gotten so cold the bottles froze and exploded (this was in the pre-plastic era).
We now had enough people in the same dire straits to work out a solution. Someone went to the top of the hill to stop others from sliding down into us. We also then had enough guys to start pushing everybody back up the hill, where everyone backed out the two miles, because it was too risky to try to turn around in the narrow lane. I was the last one pushed out, and was grateful that enough folks stayed around to get me out, too, rather than just jumping back in their cars and backing the hell out of there.
On a more serious, gadget-y note, I highly recommend one of those battery-powered car jumper kits, as opposed to jumper cables. You don't need two vehicles, and maybe two people, to jumpstart a car. I've had to jumpstart myself a couple of times, and it's much simpler that way. It also can provide 12 VDC for accessories, or for running an AC inverter. At $70 and up, it's more expensive than jumper cables, but what are you going to do when there isn't another cooperative car around for miles? Look for them on sale at the big discounters. They're worth it, IMHO.
