Update: Got stuck in a drift up near Eagle River last season, had to get pulled out by a guy on a Polaris. Changed how I pack my gear now.

Yeah, that's the kind of thing that makes you rethink your whole life for a second... nothing like needing a rescue to finally get you to pack that extra tow strap you've been meaning to buy for three years. Bet you double-check the shovel and kit now too. Classic case of learning the hard way, but at least it was a Polaris and not a team of sled dogs.

After my own tow-out, I keep a shovel and extra strap like @elliot_johnson said, it's a game-changer.
