When stuck in a snow storm what is the best way to stay warm and save gas?
If you find yourself stuck in a snow storm inside your car and it has a full tank of gas, is it more resourceful to keep your car running the entire time until you run completely out of gas or start the car until your warm, turn it off until you lose heat, then start the car again until your warm, turn it off until you lose heat, continuously until you run out of gas?
The on-off method won't work. The engine cools down too quick and you need to run it 15 to 20 minutes at a time to keep the battery charged up enough to start it again. When you hear approaching noise like emergency vehicles coming, you want enough battery power to flash your lights and blast your horn. The best way is to keep a survival kit in the car. This should consist of a few flares, two or more pairs of thick woolen socks, a blanket, a bic lighter or bbq lighter and at least two cans of sterno. ( solid fondue fuel)
Reasoning and purpose:
Flares for signalling overhead help,
wool socks rotate the pairs from hands to feet every half
hour. Hands give off more heat, so rotating socks
keep your feet from freezing.
blanket self-evident
bic lighter unlike matches, are less affected by moisture.
Sterno cans Far superior in heating than candles. Sealed cans
cans can stay in the car year round, unlike candles
that melt in the summer's heat. Also. being
alcohol, burns longer, hotter with far less carbon
monoxide. Overall, a safer source of heat than a
candle.
