    Rand McNally Map
    GPS I prefer Rand McNally

    Get your rewards cards /Apps Loves,.Flying J.etc so you get points for free showers

    If you are driving up north Wyoming etc get some shoe snow things for your shoes they will save your ###..they wrap around your shoes and keep you from slipping on the ice

    Download the cat scale.app for quick scaling


    Make sure you have plenty of de icer for your windshield

    don't know your situation or where you are driving..much more is needed if you are driving up north in the winter like heavy jackets, clothes and blankets.

    • Common sense.
    • Good judgement.
    • Situational awareness.
    • Patience (by the boatload).
    • Consideration/courtesy for others.
    • Professional mindset/demeanor/conduct/appearance.
    • A terrific sense of humor.
    • A stout work ethic.
    The above is by no means totally inclusive--but it's a pretty good start.

    I'm on board with all the previous posts, too (but I don't remember needing that many condoms :p).

    Canned ham/smoked/summer sausage, cans of spam even if you don’t like it, for winter rations, don’t go bad and if stranded you won’t starve in WY.
