This is at least a few years old, I remember reading it when the family was stuck in the snow in the southern Oregon mountains.
Rule #1. Don't ever leave the car and setoff overland.

- joshuaheard 10y agoI remember reading this in Wired magazine several years ago. Afterwards, I put together a little survival pack in each of my car's trunks including a space blanket, hand-crank phone charger, and other items.

- camtarn 10y agoIt looks like it was collected in a published book in 2001: http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random045/2001037553.html http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random045/2001037553.ht... https://lccn.loc.gov/2001037553 https://lccn.loc.gov/2001037553 I remember reading it a few years ago as well, so perhaps it's been republished multiple times since then. It's an absolutely great bit of writing, and a good warning to anybody who lives in places that can get excessively cold. (In my case, it serves as literary tourism: I live in central Scotland, which hasn't seen more than a few inches of snow a year since 2013.)
