The blanket(s) are stowed next to the spare tires. They probably won’t smell like roses, but neither of us will freeze to death. I got them at the Army Surplus store for about 10 bucks each IIRC.

Since both Mrs. L and I work within 12 miles or so I figure what I’ve stashed in the vehicle should be sufficient to get us home under all but the very worst of conditions. And call me what you will, I didn’t plan on taking care of anyone else while we do so. LOL.

I wish you the very best luck,

L

To me, when the car breaks down in winter and you pull out a sleeping bag with fleece blankets in it, and know that you will sleep like a baby in total comfort, then the emergency is not so bothersome at all, that is why I consider the sleeping/warmth preparation number one.

Especially for travel with females I like that, and the ability to light a candle and serve them a meal and a drink (Grand Marnier is in my kit) give them a roll of TP and their own flashlight, to help take away their concerns of being stuck in a situation like a blizzard.
