Excellent points Art. There's a reason we all have multiple kits, think about our edc, prepare our homes, and launch ourselves on a never-ending journey of research, restocking and re-configuring, and it isn't because we think this kind of thing couldn't happen to us. It's precisely because we all know that it could. In learning all we can from situations like these, dissecting them to mine the gold, I'll save the judgement too.

Murphy's always around the corner and he magnifies even the smallest poor decision, especially in hind-sight. "Learning is easy, but knowing is a different story."
