Hey guys, seeing as last year was an unmitigated disaster for some people (i.e the ones that got stuck for 8 hours on certain roads etc), and some if not a whole lot were wholly unprepared.
So, shall we see if we can compile a list that we should all take note of and maybe checklist before we make journeys, long or short, this (supposedly really bad) winter.
Anything else?
So, shall we see if we can compile a list that we should all take note of and maybe checklist before we make journeys, long or short, this (supposedly really bad) winter.
- Warm, extra clothes (hat, gloves, socks)
- Tyre pressure checker/inflater (you can let air out of your tyres for tackling tough snow)
- Food and water (things that don't go out of date, biscuits, crisps, tinned food snacky stuff to keep you going. I had a bottle of coke in my boot last year but it bloody froze lol)
- Light snow shovel (just in case you find yourself sliding and end up in a pile of snow, or to help someone stranded)
- Phone, obviously
- Full or near full tank of fuel in case you need to have the engine on for heat
- Old carpets/car mats to slip under tyres for grip
- Small all season camping stove and matches/ spark lighter
- Snow chains
- Sleeping bag
- Tow rope/strop
- High Vis clothing
Anything else?
