We've been reading about several incidents lately where the hiker left his/her gear in camp, and "just went for a day hike", and they didn't surface for several days. Some have never been found.
"The best laid plans of mice and men..."
That's why we frequent this forum, to be ready when Ms. Karma or Ma Nature change the game plan.
Can you imagine if any of us here ended up in the newspapers as getting lost and being underequipped, how much jeering and fingerpointing there would be?
