Winter supplies in trunk of car! Boots, gloves, fire starting stuff, space blanket, hatchet or large knife, some emergency food, gun, compass, folding shovel. Yes I do have all this stuff in my truck.

At least be able to cut wood and make a fire.

It's sad. I don't think it looks good for the man.

Anyone going into areas like this should have an emergency pack, and I'd also take a radio/tranciever.

One of the things I'd do is make a big a$$ fire, and alot of smoke, wherever I am lost.

That's exactly what I used to do when living out in western Canada.

In most areas, breaking down on the road is a minor inconvenience -- or a major one at worst. Breaking down or getting lost in rugged terrain and/or in places where it can be -30 in the winter time is lethal.
