OK, you popped the waist button on your pants, and they won't stay up without the button. You have too much stuff in your pockets for a safety pin to hold the weight. Or you have a day/fanny/whatever pack with you and a critter chews a hole in it one night. Thanks to the hole the fabric starts tearing, and you are in danger of losing all of the goodies inside. Or a strong wind comes up and keeps blowing your hat off. You could sew that button back on, repair the tear, and stitch some paracord on for a chin strap. At least that is what those of us who carry a needle and tread could do. You would be SOL, but that is your choice.

I could probably think of more, but I am getting a headache from reading all of this sometimes childish bickering...
