Howard,
Since I live in California I will restate that I only carry a cel phone and the AAA Plus card, but I must commend you on your preparedness in your climate. People have been known to lose limbs and freeze to death when stranded in temps you endure. I believe, however, the nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare suit is a bit much unless you have an ulterior reason. I also admire you for living in blue sky country while I must live in the land of A holes. Peter

The gas mask seems a bit odd. Maybe the diesel fumes are a bit thick up there?

Are flares dangerous to store?
I have some flares stored in the first aid kit cubby of my TD. Is this a dumb move? I know they could come in handy if I break down at night but am nervous about them sitting right near the fuel tank door. Any guidance?
