      May want to note that the Rhino USA gear is NOT USA made.
      They mislead by saying they are a US company, and have US based support, but their products are NOT.
      Now, I don’t get all wrapped around the axel about foreign made gear, but I do dispose people that are intentionally misleading, like naming it Rhino USA to profit off those that want to buy US products, but get duped by companies like this.

    Tip from the refuge med guys: mount the ifak to the passenger head rest, that way you can access it from the drivers seat.
    If you are pinned in an accident you can render self aid, and if you come upon an accident you can grab it and go. 👍

    Good load out. I would add a few of those hand and feet warmer packets. You know that when your hands and feet get cold, it makes things miserable. I keep a case of each in my winter box. If you have to walk anywhere, because the truck died and leave the family in the truck, it's nice to crack a few of those open, wrap a mirlar blanket around them and it'll produce enough warmth to keep them conformable. There's a few other things I would add but no one ever reads my posts anyway lol.

    As an avid off roader (mainly jeeps). Falken is one of my favorites. Also, keep in mind that tire pressure can/will affect tire performance when it comes to different terrains. I let about 10-15psi out of my tires for snowy conditions

    Last year i needed tires but there was no money for such things. The company i spent the last 25 yrs with closed the doors. I got a whole set of cheap tires for just over $600. They are noisy and lumpy but not wearing too bad but amazing grip in the swamp mud i get into occasionally. I cant complain for the price. It allowed me to get out and work.

    It's important to remember that with hollow fibre water filters, the water is difficult to fully empty once used. If the water inside the filter freezes, then the filter loses its function so they much be kept above freezing to be relied on.

    I've been through multiple sets of KO2 and Duratrac on half and 3/4 ton trucks as well as one set of Falkens. KO2 were no good in real deal heavy winter conditions and my Falkens were dry rotting before they were half worn. Duratrac is king, especially with studs.

    Yah we have our summer tires and students winter tires. Much better. Cost more at first getting both but they last a very long time. Especially you can run the summer tires down to nothing. And once you have rims for both sets, you don't have to keep paying twice a year switching them out. You can change them yourself

    Just bought new tires last week, I usually by used stuff but everything is so expensive it was only slightly more to get some name brand ones on sale so I've done that. IMO as long as it's name brand All Weather A/T for a truck used all year round, you'll be good. Would love to have the money to try them all. I think the K03 K02 and Wrangler duratrec are way overated though. Was extremely impressed with the firestone destinations XTs I had although they sucked in the rain (over 1/2 gone by the point there was a downpour). If I had tons of money I'd be trying hercules, Continental, Bridgestone, and the rest of the "name" brand that don't always get the same recognition. Prices are usually lower and performance tends to be better since they don't sell on reputation alone

    A smart man would have put the money spent on a goofy saw, towards sandbags in the bed of the truck to use as ballast. I've got 6 50Lb sandbags in my E-350 2WD and I don't get stuck in my part of Alaska. I've got a 2Ton come along along with some chains and a recovery strap for vehicle recovery.
    Even in my Ford Ranger 4x4 I've got at least 2 50Lb sandbags in the bed. My cousin has 4 50Lb sandbags in his Nissan D21 4x4
    The E-350 has Cooper Discoverer M+S studded tires, and my Ranger has Firestone Winterforce studded tires.

    Actually with the snatch block, anytime you add a part of line you increase your pulling power by 100%. So if you run to a snatch block on a hard point and back to your vehicle, if your winch is a 1000lb pull you get 2000lbs at half speed. And it goes up for each extra line you put in. That’s how cranes are able to lift 1 million pounds with line pull of only 50,000lbs, just add more parts of line. But after 32 parts friction actually decreases pulling power.

    AT tires just aren’t good in the snow and terrible on ice. The compound is way too hard. If you want the best you need two sets of wheels and tires. One for your ATs and one for your Blizzaks, Nokian, Xice….etc
    I live in a snowier area than you do and that’s how I equip all my vehicles.
