The bags go in whatever vehicle I'm commuting in. Sharp knife is for opening the packets rather than a murdering! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I stocked up a little more but the kit has evolved through last few years. The basics are the same but getting stuck in the Mojave in summer is a lot different to getting stuck in arse end of the Rockies in winter! If I have half a tank or less I fill up before I leave town because you never know! Do you have a vacuum sealer? Sealing some things and leaving them in the truck all the time has worked pretty well especially things that spoil when they get wet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can call a few but I'm usually driving these mountain roads in the early hours and I'd feel a right c*nt calling them out. When the fleet trucks breakdown we have to sit and wait and that can take hours depending on who they send. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have consideration man ! 14 hours ago, jiggy said: By friday I was honestly about to ask green lurchers what is the best way to cook a 9 year old springer spaniel. I bet he knows too. you going to hell for a thought like that. You are a bad man. Anyway the snow only lasts for a day at most here so those sort of thoughts don't happen. We've taken precautions to secure provisions for the spaniel for the foreseeable future. Edited March 6, 2018 by Meece 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They had lots left apparently. The store manager (name witheld but I bet it isn't Elfed Davies) said he wasn't ripping anyone off. Manager of the local Spa Mr Abdul Abalafaj said "£3 for a loaf? I'm not going to lower my prices just because of a bit of snow." 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
