My own opinion - a good SSB Single Side Band CB radio - because there is no better means of communication, as the skip qualities of 11 meter [27 mhz..] is beyond belief. I've heard calls for help on ch 9 AM come in my base station at home - E.Derby CT - from Storm King Mountain N.Y. when a motorist called in a distress call during a real bad snow storm. Someone will hear you, and even if you can't hear them - if they know where you are, they could be the link you need to get help, especially if the operator is a member of REACT which is a volunteer emergency monitoring service that is nationwide. I'm very partial towards Uniden/Bearcat, my vehicles have always had an SSB radio in them since the late 1990s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esatm-X88B8Edit: I'm going to add an extra car battery that's fully charged as well to this....

I'm not sure about what you are calling a "scoop shovel", but a long handled coal shovel is really what you want. If you have one, perhaps a high-lift jack might be useful too...

shovel, axe, handyman jack, air compressor, tire plugs, box of tools with wrenches socket set pliers a coil of wire, black tape, allen wrenches screwdrivers test light. spare serpentine belt and spare tire spare battery. ( boat battery does double duty for this). duct tape, bag of tire chains. (one for each tire) a couple 20 foot chains with hooks on the end. 5-6 mre's. I keep a mapp gas torch in mine but at the least some storm proof matches. both is better. complete change of dry clothes. blanket, couple flashlights. should have a good pocket knife in your pocket. don't forget some toilet paper and a couple gallon jugs of water. that stuff sounds like a lot but every one of those things has saved my bacon more than once and doesn't take up a lot of room. You will be able to rescue yourself most of the time and if not those MRE's will keep you going while you wait for the storm to blow through or whatever.

Just get a Toyota Tacoma. Throw a chain, come-a-long, axe, and some crackers, for a little extra weight. You won't need the equipment.

Fire extinguisher, first aid kit, road flares (they work great for starting fires too).

I've been in the Adirondacks in late November when a big storm blew in. Bad as anything I ever saw in wy. If your ten miles from the road it aint no joke. Only a fool would try and walk out before the weather lays. 10 miles can be a looooooooooong ways.

Zuter the stuff I listed leaves plenty of room for trapping equipment
