Most of the answers to the quiz seem like common sense, but in a crisis situation it might be hard to think straight. Though I am not planning any winter driving trips in the near future, thanks to you, I will have this information stored in the back of my mind. A tragic outcome for the Kim family may well save the lives of many others. Thanks for a great post.

Thanks for the excellent & timely seed. You never know if this might come in handy for someone some day.

#3 - Wed Dec 6, 2006 10:23 PM ESTI live in Minnesota and during the winter I always keep a winter survival kit in my car. It consists of a large empty coffee can, matches, candles, energy bars and bottled watter. If stranded you put the candle inside the coffee can and lite it to use as a heat source. Nothing fancy, but inexpensive and effective. I also keep a sleeping bag and blankets in the car. In the past I have also bought MREs.
