H2 Winter Recovery/Survival Kit

[ddn]

Hi all, long-time lurker, first-time poster.

Winter is fast approaching, and for some parts of the country its definitely here. What would you all put in a H2 winter recovery/survival kit. I used to pull people out of ditches with my Durango, but I'd like to get a new set of tools for the H2.

So whats in your winter H2?

Ken, where do you hide all that in an SUT? ;) I especially like the defibulator, I could use one of those for the kids.;)

Water is great to carry but in the winter it tends to freeze overnight. I have found that distilled water doesnt seem to freeze as soon as tap water. Dont know why, but it seems to be true.
