i had just packed a roadside emergency kit in my car when a snowstorm hit and stranded me on a back road.
how satisfying must it be to have something like that ready to go in case of emergency, and then to actually get to use it? i am pretty jealous, and proud in a vicarious kind of way.
i did, two days after packing it we had a blizzard and my tire went flat out in the middle of it. i would have been very unhappy had i not packed it.
