Even though I am a firm advocate of the idea of taking everything you need, and heading somewhere you are welcome, the fact is, we live in a random and chaotic universe, and the chips do not always fall our way. You have to be able to roll with the punches and improvise. If the scramble/forage philosophy serves as a bridge between that failed journey/resolution Plan A and a successful finish-line in Stableville, USA then you will be very glad you had a BOB for everyone in your group, and were able to "rough it" for the couple days needed to attain that safe harbor.
