That almost seems like an unfinished thought. What was the point of this thread?

If I'm away and can't drive home it's either because the truck broke down, in which case I make a call and get it towed and fixed. Then I drive home or I find a hotel.

If the truck isn't broken and I can't drive home it means the roads are blocked for some reason. In SOCAL that may mean the "Big One" just hit and the road system an a lot of other infrastructure is damaged. This is where the 96 hr kit plays a big role.
