    Cellphone, bottle of Yukon Jack, bag of stale M&Ms...



    at least that's what's in MY emergency kit...
    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    In addition to what has already been listed you might want to pick up a set of chains too.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    I have my BOB and a 5 gal water jug (insulated with part of a thick foam sleeping pad).
    That's all one should need, and even then the water is just a convenience.

    You're asking about basic survival right?
    If you mean recovery stuff to help you out if you get stuck, get a hitch, a hitch-mount winch plate, and a winch. That'll get you out of just about everything if you know how to use it.

    I keep my 72hr bag in the car in the winter, or when I'm travelling out of the metro area.

    Have a change of clothes, wool socks, MREs, water, fire starter, propane stove, folding shovel, a blanket, compass, map, and a few other things.

    Basically what I hope is enough that if I were to be stranded in my car, I could wait out a rescue, or navigate my way to civilization if need be.

    I'm honestly planning on calling in on Wed. It'll be cold, first snow of the season, and it's the day after Battlefield 3 comes out.
