Winter doesn’t care about your schedule—and neither do winter storms. In this episode of ZERT Coffee & Chaos, we break down why winter preparedness is non-negotiable and how a simple lack of planning can turn a short drive into a survival situation.

We focus on real-world vehicle preparedness: the gear you should have in your truck or car if you get stranded in snow, ice, or sub-zero temps. From recovery tools and emergency heat to comms, lighting, food, and medical basics, we cover what actually matters—not fluff. We also hit proper winter attire, because the best gear in the world won’t help if you’re dressed for the office instead of the environment.

This isn’t fear-based prep—it’s practical readiness. Cold kills fast, mistakes compound quickly, and winter exposes weak planning. Whether you commute daily or travel back roads, this episode gives you a clear, no-nonsense framework to stay mobile, stay warm, and stay alive when the weather turns hostile.
