Nice lot of 'old soldier' kit there Wulf - you obviously shop at the same designer boutiques as I do.

Just can not believe what you all carry. Winterize your vehicle, good set of at's proper coolant and working heater, and good battery. drive careful and don't be stupid never need the stuff.
Oh I do have heavy duty jumper cable for other people and a 30 ft 40,000 lbs tow strap for stupid people and it is $50 a tow in advance.

This thread reminds me of the journeys we made in the 1960's. I was based in Arbroath Scotland for three years and frequently made the 480 mile journey to London throughout this time. My wife shared the driving and we usually left around 6/7pm after a days work. We used a 1959 Triumph Herald Coupe initially before changing to a Mini Cooper. The winters up there were much worse than in the south, especially in 1962, and we sometimes set off with forecasts saying 'don't travel'! But we did, often following a snowplough.
Winter kit? Just the spare wheel and jack.
No motorways but we really enjoyed breakfast on arrival. Journey time was around 12 hours.

And what happens if your on a remote country road and you break down, your car wont start? It happens to everyone, even modern family cars. No heater. its cold and snowing, what are you going to do? Drink your coolant?

I agree totally.
Most of my journey delays in snowy weather are due to ill-prepared other people who 'get in the way' when I could drive through/up/or over, whatever obstacle or problem is in the way.
Even when I had a Unimog I was stuck behind numpties with summer tyres on their luxury saloons, and smooth soles on their city shoes, who couldn't even push the damn things out of the way.
There is a world of difference between what you 'need' in the city and suburbs, compared to what is prudent to carry on longer journeys through remote unpopulated area.
Part of my mind-set is a result of years as an ex-pat making twice-yearly trips from Saudi Arabia home to the UK in all sorts of vehicles.
If you hadn't packed it - you had little chance of finding it in a Turkish truck-stop!
OK - the UK is a bit different - but try Rannoch Moor, the A9 Perth to Inverness, the A69 Newcastle to Carlisle, the Yorkshire Dales, or even the M6 from Preston to Carlisle.
I have come across stranded people who literally have only a bag of toffees and they're moaning that their mp3 has run flat.

I only do 4-5 miles a trip so I am never more that 2.5 miles from my destination,,
or where I live, so all this seems a bit overkill,
until you realise some of you live in the middle of know where and if I was the
same I would be setting up a list of my own..
God Bless Lidl...
