Right you are, Hikermor. It was interesting this weekend. I was out of and he and the kids were in an MVA. Everyone was ok but the truck was totalled so they all walked - SD to work, Dad and son back home. I think (hope?) that it got them all thinking.
I'm glad everyone was OK!
Things to suggest for an MVA:
* At least two ways to charge your cellphone
* A tool to break windows
* A tool to cut seatbelts (a Houdini does both)
* First aid supplies and training
* Clothing/shelter items if rescue doesn't come quickly
* Water and food
* Paper and pen/pencil
There are plenty of other things that are handy for an MVA of course, but it might be easier to get a non-prepper or a closet prepper to carry these sorts of things.
