    I was trapped on a remote section of highway in Canada that was closed due to extreme and unexpected snow fall. The only bathroom and water nearby was the ditch.

      IMO a lack of bathrooms isn’t life-threatening, just inconvenient.
      And a lack of water is a lack of planning when you’re in a car.
      When I still had a car, it always had a gallon of bottled water, a warm blanket, first aid kit, flashlight and a couple of lighters in it.
      It’s insane how quickly a short drive can turn into a life-threatening situation when something goes wrong.
