I do! <grin> And it is a real pleasure to put a dry one on at night - plus it keeps that part of the sleeping bag cleaner and drier. Paranoia, er, preparedness is the other reason we carry a spare. It has been important over the years with the kids... they have all lost one once on winter trips, and I sorta hazily remember one sleep-deprived hypothermic night many years ago... anyway, I carry a watch cap in my kit year round - that's my spare. If weather dictates a watch cap, I ADD one to my head or jacket pocket.<br><br>Scouter Tom
