Can't agree more! I wasn't born down here, I come from the frozen North
and it amazed me at the first sign of snow, driving standards in Plymouth just seemed to go out of the window! Wether or not the snow was laying on the roads.
Living near the English Riviera
snow isn't really at the forefront of my mind, come winter. However, we did have a really bad situation with ice a couple of years ago, Plymtom might remember?
My winter car kit isn't a huge amount different from any other time of year. I keep plenty of water in the car - anywhere between 2 and 14 litres for personal consumption and another 10 for emergency vehicle 'thirst', I drive a Landrover
Apart from that everything else, other than toolkit is kept/contained within a Snugpak Response Pack which sits under the passenger front seat, accessible from the back.
I'm not often much further away from home, than at work, about 12 miles, so it's contents reflect that.
Esbit Stove, can provide a link if needs be, but it's stove with a separate cooking pot. Fuel for the stove. Food sachet - pasta shells with sauce. Energy bar x2. Cyclumes x2. Fire lighting kit. Small FAk. Water purification tablets. Small amount of cash in notes. Brew kit (my own, not MOD). Monocular, but have binos in the car too.
That's pretty much it. I can walk 12 miles in what I'm wearing, in most weathers so its not really a get home pack, more of a comfort pack.
