What did you have in the vehicle for the "just in case" factor?

I am the same way here in TN. People are always saying 'where is your coat?' I sometimes tell them I'm going through the "change", and I'm having a hot flash.

Me too. I will wear a rain coat sometimes. But usually the most is just a vest. Of course I've never been in -50 temps either.
I too am one of those folks that will either wear a long sleeve tee....if real cold a Carhart hoody.
But come on.....anyone who will spending any amount of time out in sub freezing temps....let alone sub zero.....should know better.
Run into a store.....out to a vehicle is one thing.....but traveling you gotta have your winter kit.

I agree with you on the traveling, and preparing for a break down, but any other time in winter, it's just jeans and a T-shirt.
I don't understand why people dress like they are preparing to climb Mt Everest, when they are just walking to the Walmart front door.
When I ran my Pepsi route in IL, it would get down to zero quite often, and I just got used to it I guess. When I transferred to TN, I would wear shorts and a short sleeve uniform shirt, while the other guys would be wearing long johns, long sleeve shirts and heavy winter coats. They would make fun of me, but at least I was not the one sweating.
just around town usually. so I keep the BOB in the truck. If I were to travel I would add a sleeping bag and hoodie. Maybe throw in the heavy carhart coat and bibs.
I was wearing shorts and flip flops yesterday......course it was 79 degrees here.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Don't wrestle with pigs; you'll get all muddy and the pigs will love it!

BP, ill trade you the 79 degree crap for your weather!
It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.
