I have had to go into someone’s cabin and borrow something to get back to “civilization” and even though I felt bad about not being able to ask them first I would do it again. Since it was only a nail that I took to make a shear pin out of I didn’t feel I needed to travel two days back out there to replace it. I do however still feel bad about the poor guy who could not find the nail he always hung his coat on and the head scratching he must of done trying to figure out why his coat was folded across a chair.
As a guest on the trip I could not control the lack of spare parts and tools for their equipment. But as a always be prepared type I was able to come up with a fix from the small amount of “stuff” I had with me and one borrowed nail.
