winter vehicle loadout how do you do yours?

Kids don't "borrow" anything, you just give it to them.....your job as Dad.

I would continue to expect her to back you up in the future....or the old "Hey remember when you had to borrow the TP when we were out shooting"......story will become legend.

natertot,

Would you please explain what you mean by "Dry-Spill" and how you use it with the salt mix?

Sorry sjj, I just noticed this and I will explain.

Dry-Spill (and similar products) are what shops and certain fields use when something liquid spills on the floor. You sprinkle the stuff on the liquid and it absorbs it allowing you to simply sweep up the floor and not have a wet floor as a "slip hazard". It is similar to cat litter, but much cheaper around $4 for a 50lbs bag, and the stuff I use is a bit "grittier" than cat litter as well. I mix it about 50/50 with the salt that I store in my vehicles. The reason I do this is when a vehicle gets stuck and you put salt down, it turns the ice into slush and the slush quickly dissolves the salt. Doesn't help too much in the way of traction. The Dry-Spill will not dissolve and as the ice gets soft from the salt, the dry-spill will dig into it giving great traction to get said vehicle out of the stuck predicament. It was a trick I picked up from a "AAA" roadside guy back in high school. It works pretty good.
