Love the new title for this thread!
	Maybe it's because of my hobby of Civil Air Patrol Search and
Rescue, but I carry a full 24 hour survival pack in the Expedition at all
times.  It contains a full change of clothes (old but serviceable), food,
water, and a bunch of other stuff that would help me get along if stuck out
in the country or on the mountain side for an extended period of time.
(Contact me off list if you want the complete list as we use in CAP).  With
luck, my ham radio or cell phone would bring me help, but I never count on
that.  It all fits into a gym bag and is out of the way behind the tools
until needed.
 	This may be the desert, but this year we had snow on Mt. Potosi well
into April.  When I lived in Colorado it was often later.
