    Besides chains its a really good idea to keep a couple bags of snow melt in the truck. A little bit of that stuff goes a long way and has gotten me out of many, many jams!

    With a single axle you want to use the highest gear possible.

    Two thirds clay kitty litter, one third salt. Melts and gives traction. They sell that, but it's cheap to make your own and keep a bin or bucket of it in your side box.
