    Default Winter is coming!

    well, duh you say!... :P


    quick and easy project for your car(s):

    get a small gym bag and put the following in it for "just in case"

    1. blanket
    2. winter worthy jacket
    3. gloves
    4. 2+ MREs
    5. wool knit hat
    6. water
    7. granola bars


    I didn't put in stuff like a first aid kit, flashlight and batteries because you should ALREADY have them in there.

    you can get most of the stuff I mentioned pretty quick if you don't have spares lying around.. just go to the thrift store (goodwill's tend to sux around here)

    make sure you wash and dry 'em first

    makes a nice "gift" for your SO... it'll show them how much you care :cool:



    and I'm sure you'll be adding to this list...........

    That's a good, basic list. A fire extinguisher is good to have handy, too.

    I am ready to move back to FL every time winter shows up here. I like colorado for the outdoors, and the guys i have met off this board or ar15 so far.

    I love Colorado winters. Snow is great in moderation. It's nice to get a foot of snow one day and then be able to wear shorts a week later. In the midwest once it snows it's there all year. The winters are cold as hell and nasty there.

    Best thing about Colorado IMO. Snows like heck in the mountains. Snows in moderation on the front range. I can ski powder on Saturday and play nine holes on Sunday. What a country!

    Here's a site I just discovered that sells not only survival gear but a little bit of everything it seems. Hmmm, interesting stuff...
