Be prepared — the Sequoia Survival way

Posted on October 26, 2007

It was a dark and snowy night. I was living in St. Louis and trekking to the home of the parental units who live two miles outside of a tiny southern Illinois town. As I got off of the highway, a mile from their home, I noticed the snow removal trucks hadn’t touched the roads in this area. It had snowed so hard it was impossible to tell the road from the ditches that lined both sides. Visibility was horrid. I ended up getting stuck. And I had to walk a little more than a quarter mile to my parents house. It was slow going – especially in the midst of a blizzard while wearing heels and an Ally McBeal type suit. (Hey, I was 23. Need I say more?)

As I slipped, shivered, and cursed in the darkness, I vowed to keep extra socks, sneakers and a blanket in the trunk during future winter months. Looking back, I know that these three things? Don’t exactly spell “Prepared for Inclement Weather”. But that’s only because I didn’t know about the vehicle survival kit from Sequoia Survival Company!

I’ve been needing to get something for the truck–thanks for the review.

What tiny southern Illinios town? ’cause I have good friends in tiny southern Illinois towns–wouldn’t that be a coincidence? Eldorado? Buncombe? Metropolis?

For people like me who have the best intentions of putting together an emergency preparedness kit, this is perfect. Thanks for the tip, and I would love to see a picture of you in that Ally McBeal suit…singing karoake perhaps.

I always refer to my parents as the parental units! Sometimes I shorten it to “the units”.

In Canada, we needed those survival kids year-round.

I’ve got to get me one of those kits! I’m always thinking about putting one together and still nothing!
Thanks for the review.
