I always carry one of those aluminized 'survival' blankets in my pack. Makes a good rainwater catcher if needed. You can either lay it in a ground depression or rig it up as an off-ground run off catcher.


That is not a bad idea as a redundant system either. A 4 pack of those fits easily in a pocket. I am all about redundant systems. If one fails, then there is always an alternative.
