- I'm trying to get my new brother in law to hook me up with a few MREs to stash in the truck too.

MREs?
Man, you live near Buffalo, not near death valley.

Sand, small shovel, gloves, warm boots, jump cables, and a leatherman.

yeah, watch those nuts!! always putting balancing form and function.

heh, check out my camping thread for some pics of what we do...

foul weather gear:

generally i'll have 2 snow shovels in the truck. if i'm out in the snow it's probably to do my grandparent's walks. if it's a lot of snow i'll grab my dad's JD snowblower and take that around. if it's a foot or more i'll fire up my 1969 death machine. it's single stage so when it's in gear the impeller spins as the wheels do, makes my forearms huge.

i always have straps/blankets and other stuff in the truck anyway so i don't add much for winter.

True, but after the Blizzard of 77, and then the one a few years ago where I spent 10 hours in my Honda Accord, I'm going with the "better safe than sorry" idea. plus they don't take up too much room.

The OEM Goodrich tires haven't been too bad, but as soon as I find a second set of rims for winter, I'll dress them with a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires. Our winters are very cold (down to -60 F), roads narrow and winding, littered with moose to avoid. Our snowload is less than other places, but we average 5-6' of snowfall annually. So far my 08 KC Pro4X has performed flawlessly.

Horrible winter driving conditions don't frighten me, bring it on.
