Welcome, and I will try to be gentle.

If you are prepared for a likely situation, and it happens, then it is inconvenient, but not an emergency.

For example, you carry a spare tire in your vehicle. You have the tools and knowledge to change a flat tire as well. Someday you may have a flat. You change it and continue on your way. Now, for some people (not on this forum), this would be an EMERGENCY!

If I am out on a day hike, and get stuck out overnight, it is an unplanned and uncomfortable overnight hike. It does not kill me.

Is that what you were getting at?
