NOW FOR THE RESULTS
Pick Ups were by far the most popular vehicle with 12 out of the 24 responding owning pickups
SUV's were second with 6 of 24.
Station Wagons and Sedans tied at 2 of 24
Vans - Only one of you used a van
No vehicle - Tony's wife won't let him drive her's the 52 feet from his house to the river.
There were 7 4X4 vehicles, 4 pickups and 3 SUV's
Modifications/new ideas
1. Space blanket - a definite addition to my stuff from now on!
2. Canoe/Kayak rack
3. Fix-A-Flat
4. Tool box in bed of truck
5. Sleeping rack/air mattress/sleeping bag
6. Rod racks in ceiling
7. Rod racks on top of vehicle
8. Extra wool blankets - I keep two in all my vehicles year-round
9. Family sized First Aid Kit
10. Tarp - at least an 8X10
11. Extra coat and rain gear, extra clothes - warm
12. Plenty of bottled water
13. Energy bars and other non-perishables
14. Extra gloves
15. Walkie Talkies and CB for vehicle
16. Hand warmers
Better safe than sorry. One of my greatest fears is being stranded in a snow storm. We don't have that kind of problem in Central Texas, but I'm prepared just in case. Take last week, when the temp in Wyo dropped 50 degrees in a matter of a couple of hours and 7" of snow came down - If I hadn't had my operation, Jody and I would have been on I-80 at that time. Chilling thought!
