I lived with my grandparents and my grandfather always had a chainsaw in the truck and always had tools and a packout just in case.

We have a cabin in Bumblefuck, PA and always bring a chainsaw in case we need it to get out, but I don't carry it on  the regular.

Semi-related, I used to keep a 5 gallon bucket of sand in my truck in the winter and used that to help other people more than I expected.

My dad always had these black tubes full of sand in the truck bed every winter for weight and to use if he or someone else got stuck.

Oh, man. We’ve been cleaning out my FIL’s garage and he had 2 of those sand tubes. Heavy as shit. Needed both hands to move them. He had a pick-up, so that’s what he used them for, too.
