In the Buffalo blizzard that December, the final count reached 47 dead, and the mayor said people passed away in their cars. Kidde designs its alarms for 40 to 100°F. Wet feet lose heat 25 times faster than dry feet. A bug-out bag is built to walk away, and walking away is the one move a stranded driver shouldn't make. Subscribe to the channel: @rangerrickus In this video, we talk about the gap between a bug-out bag and a winter car kit, including a carbon monoxide alarm kept warm in your coat, a sleeping bag too heavy to hike with and what ISO comfort and limit ratings mean, a dry base layer and the Army's COLD rule, wool socks and trench foot at 60°F, the wide mouth bottle and cold-induced diuresis, no-cook calories versus freeze-dried pouches that need 90 oz of water, the power bank that loses half its capacity at 0°F and the gallon-of-gas math, lithium AA cells rated to -40°F, a NOAA weather radio that needs no cell signal, a day of your medications and why insulin can't freeze, and a 60-hour SOS light versus 30-minute road flares. Subscribe if you want your car ready for the night the interstate closes. Comment where you're watching from and the one thing your bug-out bag is missing for a winter night in the car. Pass this along on Facebook, Reddit or the family group chat before the first snow, and thank you for keeping this outfit going.
