RE: ❄❄❄ What if? You're Stuck in a Blizzard ❄❄❄ ~Free SBD 6/24
That all depends. On what? For example, let's say I'm stuck in a car with a full tank of gas, then the only thing I really need is enough spare gas to keep from freezing to death until rescue in a few days ... So in this case, the item I'd want is called an auxiliary fuel tank.... but I already have one in my 4x4 and an extra 5gal Jerry can. Alright, so now what would I want?? I think I'd want a PLB with a satellite phone uplink. The problem is I already carry one of those, too. How about a go-bag? No, got one of those.
Well, I'll tell ya, pard, what I want is a good book to read ( I'm not one for portable 4k flatscreens) so I can pass the time until search and rescue arrive.... or maybe, if he's not already with me, my American Akita ... Because a dog is a man's best friend....
One item sir and no you are not in a car lol!
People get stranded in their cars on a regular basis, and some die. So why can't my blizzard strike me there? Furthermore, just what are the rules and parameters of the contest? Is it a arbitrary contest? Subject to the whim of the Judge? Am I to suppose that I'm "Naked and Afraid"?
Naked and Afraid in the middle of a blizzard on top of Denali? --- far, far from my Bigfoot 4x4? Is that dire enough for your taste? Can I choose a snowmachine? That's only one item. Right?
Well, good sir, really, all joking aside, it is far too easy of a choice. "Elementary my dear Watson, elementary"..
Because death from exposure ( hypothermia) would be the greatest threat and maintaining core body temperature would be the number one priority...The choice of one item for a naked and afraid man is easy: an Alaskan Survival Suit....
You named so many damn good ones lol
