Wheel & Smetanka
So, I’ve got this tiny, worn-out bandage that still smells faintly of pine. I keep it in a drawer—just in case I find myself in a situation where a quick patch could save a life. You ever find something unexpected on the road that ends up saving someone?
Yeah, once I was hauling a pickup through a rain‑slick canyon and the brakes gave out mid‑descent. I swerved, slammed the horn, and a passing hiker grabbed my truck’s spare tire bag—turns out she’d lost her own and was stuck on a trail. We swapped and I was back on the road. It was one of those “gotta be there at the right moment” moments that just rolls off the windshield and keeps on driving. What's on your list of emergency goodies?
