Many a person has disappeared in the outback when left stranded by leaving their vehicle, different situation and country buy same rule of survival/common sense.All the stuff I mentioned is for if you’re stranded on the side of the road you won’t freeze to death. You’d freeze long before you’d starve or die of thirst. It’s unlikely you’d be stranded for more than a couple of days even in extreme circumstances here but you can easily freeze in a short period of time. I have an uncle who lost all his toes because he was stuck on the side of the road one night.
#1 rule is don’t leave your car and try and walk somewhere.
