Ever since that leaking railroad car at the plastics plant last summer this is something that I’ve been thinking more about. I now keep a lot more duplicate gear in my truck cap for camping – both for convenience when I plan to head out camping and so I don’t have to spend so much time getting ready to head out of town in an emergency or elsewhere. Especially in a pandemic, you don’t want to be anywhere near a shelter.
