one thing to keep in mind about car batteries is that they are actually not nearly as dangerous as one might think, at least in their ability to harm you physically. you can touch both poles just fine without anything happening. it's just 12V, after all. just don't accidentally connect the poles with a wrench when you do anything in the vicinity of the battery. cause that shit sparks.
one other thing to check out in the case of car trouble would be the fusebox.
i'd recommend carrying a small assorted box of fuses in the glovebox. they're cheap.
stuck relays sometimes work just fine for another few miles if you wiggle them around for a bit.
being stuck on the road with a girl because of an issue another man identifies within 2 minutes of arriving is definitely NOT a good look, 100% agree lol.
Also, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, good battery jumper cables, a battery pack/jumper, air compressor, tow strap, thick socks and winter boots, water and protein bars....I live way north of the 49th. When it's-40° C and colder, if you end up in a ditch you can die.
100%. If you live that far north, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have dry timber, dryer lint and a lighter as well. Perhaps even a can to melt snow/ boil water in and some sort of old tire rim to build a fire in. Luckily, where I'm at it doesn't usually get that cold. In the thick of it, it can get to about -20C. Still very cold, but nothing shelter and a couple warm blankets can't take care of.
And a chain saw! Always carry a chain saw. You never know when there'll be a tree across the road... or something.
OK, I'm kidding but only halfway. Coz I actually do always carry a chain saw.
Hey, if you life in a area where fallen trees are common, why not?

Literally asking myself today why zero men's blog talk about this stuff but go off about 'meh hypergamy' twenty four seven. Great blog post, helpful!
Thank you!

At this temperature you need a damn survival kit. It would be a good idea to talk to local outdoorsmen or hunters or something.
