This road might be a way out, but make sure both you and your vehicle are prepared to traverse its occasional impediments.
COMMUNICATIONS:KEEP IT SIMPLE
EXTRAGEAR
Make sure your tires and brakes are in good shape.
When it comes to a means of communication, I like to keep it simple. Size is another consideration.
Our cars have a few extra items, which are neatly stashed in the center console:
Regularly check the spare tire and the jack to make sure they’re complete and fully functional.
Cell phones with chargers are always good to have, but they might not work everywhere you go, so two-way radios are another option. Handheld two-way radios are great, and I use them in the field, but they have limited ranges. And, in a vehicle, they can get easily misplaced.
5.11 Tactical ESC Rescue Tool
Forest fires rage through the West. The most powerful hurricanes in recorded history ravage the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic. Arctic cold and blinding snows strike the Northeast and the Midwest.
A fully mounted two-way radio, similar to the traditional CB radio installation, is the answer. I purchased a Midland MXT 115 Micro Mobile GMRS two-way radio to keep in my wife’s Subaru.
This tool includes a seat belt cutter and a spring-loaded window breaker. It also includes a pry tip. Closed, it measures 4.25 inches and weighs 3.1 ounces. MSRP: $19.99 511Tactical.com
