So, I'm on my way back from base and a truck has just slid off the road. We've been getting pounded by snow the last couple weeks, at least by Mtn Home standards. My truck does pretty well on snow as long as I take it easy. This truck, Toyota mid-size SUV (I don't remember the model) should have done ok in 4wd. They had pulled off the road for some reason and instead of backing up the way the came they decided to go forward not knowing about the ditch they were about to drop into. I pulled over to help out and that's when I realized it-I never put my winter gear back in my truck. I have one of those heavy-duty plastic bins with a snatch strap, heavy duty tie down straps, chains, gloves, a shovel-all kinds of goodies. All I could do was try and give them a push. The other guys were all wearing dress shoes so I was pushing by myself. Long story short-if you have stuff like that make sure it's actually in your vehicle where it will do you and others some good.
