dstates, A buddy of mine would go snow skiing in the Mountains of Colorado every winter. He always carried plastic Garbage bags in his truck. As he got closed to his destination and the weather got colder and crappier, slick, snow packed roads he would stop at a Service Station and start filling the several garbage sacks with water in the back of the pick. Making large water bladders, Hence the water freezes in the plastic sack (8 lbs/ gal) It didn't take too much to really improve traction and ride on slick roads.
Best Part.....
As he started going Home, just take your pocket knife and cut a big slit the plastic sack. As you head home to warmer temperatures the water melts, and runs out the back of the Pu and then hardest thing you have to do is throw the plastic sacks in a trash can somewhere!
Sure beats having heavy tractor wts or plate steel sliding around in the pack of the Pu. Especially if you were to be in a wreck and you really really do not want those things sliding around in the back unsecured! Also having to Load and later Unload them too.
Water Is FREE, No cost at Service Station or even your House!!!!
Hope this helps.
Later,
John A.
