Dusty starts a great thread and imdoo'n turns it into a totally redundant thread................

I have the normal survival gear that I carry on my sled (I could spend a night in the bush with this) along with extra things in the truck; chains, water, snackies, flares, tow rope, shackles, axe, extra clothes, pretty near always a 1/2 tank of fuel, flashlight, and lots of tunes.

haha, spent 7hrs + 5kms from golden, big rig accident, didn't need any survival gear but the beer made the time enjoyable.

Sleeping bag, food, water, flashlight,GPS,spot,snow pants,flares, signal flares,tire chains,toilet paper,lighter,candles,and a bunch of other stuff...

 

[medler]

back on track..

I carry a full first aid kit. Water,,and munchies.And try to have a full tank of gas plus jerry cans...

 

[Sparky's]

Full tank as much as possible, sled full of gas just incase. Tow rope, food, drinks(beer too), axe would be a good idea, shop towels aka industrial sized azz wipes, really should have a cb or 2 way radio for info and to kill time, DVD player

...So what do you pack in your truck for winter waits on the highway?...

Besides the standard 'so I don't die' stuff, my favorite item is the Uniden programmable VHF scanner. Almost anything coming off of an antenna, I can hear. This would include Parks Canada, highway maintenance, RCMP and anything else you can think of.

...makes the time go by a little faster.

in addition to axes flares chains a good set of h/h rain gear. putting chains on, changing tires or towing vehicles out in the salty muddy winter roads in your nice new xmas snowmobile gear is less then desirable.
