Wow, you guys are so out my league here.  I feel like this is Lewis&Clark-L.
My cell phone is always on me (makes showering a trick), but that's about it
as far as communications gear.  The following link does put into perspective

Um...why?  Heat?  To melt the snow?

guess that carrying gas in a trunk is a bad idea.
