> while you’re on vacation on some Greek island with no signal.

Not diabetic but my car was stuck on a mountain on a Greek island with no signal. In hindsight it was fun, but when it happened I initially feared for my health. We were at the highest road stuck in the snow with a car that had no business being in snow. Luckily my wife is a born and raised Michigander and she showed my Dutch ass how to handle real snow. She started digging in the mountain side to grab as much small rocks as possible since every Michigander has cat litter so that wheels can get traction.

Without it, we would still be stuck.
