Great suggestions. I am always so worried that I’ll get a flat or my car will die while I’m out. It made me feel better to practice changing my tire in the comfort of my driveway. At least I’ll be somewhat prepared if I do need to know how.

[...] At 1:28 p.m. an “inland hurricane” or “mesocyclone” hit our small rural area and left widespread damage. Sustained winds averaged 86 mph with reported gusts reaching over 106 mph. Many were injured, left without power, and their cars and homes ruined. Having never been through such a storm, it made me ponder how prepared I was for such an emergency and what I could have done different. For future reference, the following is how I would prepare for such an emergency. [...]

That tow rope you linked to won’t get you very far. It appears to be better suited for actually towing a vehicle on the road, as opposed to retrieving a vehicle. 14 feet is hardly ever going to be enough for a helper vehicle to pull you out of that ditch without the risk of them getting stuck themselves. What you should be looking for is a recovery tow strap – the nice fat yellow ones. I’d get a 30′ one, and you should really buy two, in case you need double the length, or in case some moron doesn’t let out the slack and breaks the first one (namely my brother in law). Remember to always wrap the tow strap around the axle, never hook it to a bumper (unless you’re in the market for a new one) or, believe it or not, don’t even hook it to a hitch.
