I keep a few MRE items with heaters and other items in a coffee can. The good thing is one can pull the items out and use the can to heat water/melt snow. Also had matches and candles in it. Space blanket and a cheap sleeping bag were always in the truck. Running around town is no big deal but I used to go to BCGC all the time in the winter. Even camped out a few nights in the cabin back in the day.
