The problem with jumper cables in the car/truck is you have to jump from

This is the reason I am posting about "battery boosting", and having
that all important second battery to jump from.

I'm with you. Hate to be stranded some where, when
I can grab the booster pack and get my own vehicle
going. So far, I've been very fortunate, had people
stop and offer help when I have needed it.

It helps to lift the hood, and stand in front of
the vehicle, holding the jumper clamps in left
hand like Statue of Liberty. Smile, and make
eye contact.

When I helped a stranded motorist and they offered me money, I refused and told them to pay it forward because it could be me stranded one day. I've had some very good folks help me before which why I'm going to render aid even if all I can do is give someone a ride to a gas station or let them borrow my backup cellphone. I've yet to be kidnapped from the side of the road and raped by some beautiful bikini clad female nymphomaniacs on their way to Florida. Dammit! ”Œ( à²*_à²*)”˜
