Quite a challenge! How is the cell phone reception along your normally traveled routes?

I would be sure your vehicle is equipped with enough supplies to spend a night or so if you ever get bogged down en route. If there is apace, I would consider having a bicycle along as supplementary transportation.

How are you fixed for camping gear? Small, light camp stoves come in handy in power outages. Our power was out within the last twenty-four hours, and I was brewing tea on my canister stove. there are all sorts of small, fairly cheap stoves and cook sets to choose among, and they can make a big difference.

I have come to prefer electric lanterns and lights over the traditional liquid fuel (Coleman) items. Much safer and they can be recharged in power outages with portable solar panels.(or from your vehicle).

In high winds, about the best you can do is to drive slower and be alert. It can be rather touchy.

Just a start. I am sure others will have helpful comments.
