my non-jeep friends think I'm crazy, but even when I do day runs in the snow, i treat it like a life and death situation , I feel like a snow run can turn into a death run if you're not prepared. especially with stories in the news like this. if you're prepared, its just snow camping. I always bring a tent, sleeping bag, propane space heater, water, some food, CB and a hand held CB , wool socks, and wool under garments, extra clothes , a duraflame (for a quick emergency fire in case I cant find dry food) , lighters, matches, tarps, and more. For me , its not worth it not to bring the stuff. that way I can stay put. Always let someone know where you are too. If I get lost/stuck in the snow I want to do it as comfortably as the XJ allows.
