Last time out in Hooked Up, on the heels of the massive Buffalo “snow-pocalypse” that left some Canadian drivers stuck for days in their trucks, I asked readers to send me a list of what can be found in their winter survival kits.

Greg Decker, an owner/operator with Mullen Group out of Airdrie, Alta., said he doesn’t even think of it as a survival kit, but he has a list of items he always carries in his truck come wintertime.

“Most of these items I take for granted as I need them for my job, but they will also keep me alive,” he said.

I think it’s a pretty complete list and worthy of a $50 Tim Horton’s gift card. Here’s what Greg keeps on-hand in the truck in the winter:

For warmth:

• Arctic-rated winter clothing and boots
• Multiple toques
• Fur-lined hat
• Multiple pairs of winter gloves
• 2 extra pairs of winter boots
• Rigmaster APU
• A minimum of 140 gallons of diesel in the tank at all times
• Electric blanket
• 2 quilts
• Electric heater

For sustenance:

• 10-15 days worth of food
• 2-3 gallons of water
• Milk
• Popcorn
• Snacks
• Pop
• Gatorade

For entertainment:

• 10-15 movies
• Books

For safety:

• 2 flashlights
• 2 extra sets of batteries
• 4 battery-operated beacons
• Studded Trigg tire chains
• Phone
• Qualcomm satellite unit
