    Thanks. Chad

    Beer, spaghettios and propane. Spare smokes so when you get that hammered you need spaghettios you can have a heater and relax after.

    car battery jumper cable
    Back up flashlight
    Spare gaskets for the heater, old heater in shack had a gasket that would go bad occasionally around the sight window for the pilot light. Unfortunately the only way to know it was bad was in high wind, would blow out the pilot light.

    I was a few beers away from being that hammered. I had to tame it down because I forgot both the spaghettios and the smokes.

    Lots of great things mentioned.

    I try to be as proactive as I can and have several back up plans (back up generator, electric heater, buddy heater, etc).

    One thing to add: if you’re shack is cabled have extra cable and clamps.

    Pony up the extra money for stainless steel cable.

    Also make sure you have an extra extension cord or two. They can crack in extreme cold, and you will need extra cord if you are plugging your truck in or need to power a battery charger at front of your truck.
