Anyway...Being prepared couldmean the difference between waiting several hours forsomeone responsibleto find you, or being able to get underway in a few minutes on your own ('Tumbleweed blows under your car at 75MPH and takes out a perfectly good hose or belt. It can be a 10min fix or a several hour wait with a towing/repair bill to pay.). You'd be surprised at how many people I've pulled back onto the road over the yearswho didn't even have a cellphone or water handy after they slid into a ditch on someBFE highway. They were lucky they didn't get pinned behind the wheel or something. I possibly wouldn't have known to stop if they hadn't been flailing their arms by the roadside. There have been people trapped in cars for days at a time after they flew off the road. I think it's better to be prepared than to be a statistic, especially in the summer desert, the winter mountains, or even the banditoareas of Latin America.
