I carry lots of fire tools also. I have found when things go wrong unless it something that has to be dealt with right then like bleeding badly, tent burning ,bear attacking .....etc it's far better to have a smoke and a cup of coffee and decide how you are going to get out of the situation you are in.

relax
think
decide

and yes I am one of those who still smokes (cough cough) in the ever fewer places it's still permitted
