Dead battery winners

By Paul Crowe

I’ve mentioned Make magazine several times before, if you don’t read it, you’re missing out, really.

They had a neat challenge, Makeshift, that set out a situation where you were camping and after one of the your cohorts leaves the lights on in your car you’re stranded with a dead battery 50 miles from anywhere and bad weather closing in. They listed what you had on hand, so how do you get back to civilization to survive? The winners were announced. For those of you who ride out and camp in the backwoods, good info and technically very cool.
