Yeah, once he realized he's "stepped in it" he was smart and resourceful. Run the engine briefly, bundle up with everything you can find, etc. But it's simply amazing to me that a person thinks to themself, hmmm...think I'm gonna drive off and see how far that road goes without any gear! Especially since he says he usually carries some.

That does make me want to dig thru what I keep in my truck. Normally it's just driving to work or school (in town) but when I travel I like to be really prepared, especially in the winter. I don't like to leave town during the winter months without a good sleeping bag for starters.
