It shows how quickly we can get into trouble in the hills if we can’t keep moving (eg you or a friend get injured) and the importance of carrying the right food and kit to provide a safety margin. It’s important to be as self-sufficient as possible in the hills and avoid unnecessarily putting our personal safety into the hands of others. Most of the basic kit you’ll need to give yourself a reasonable safety margin in the hills is lightweight and inexpensive so worth picking up and carrying if you don’t already. https://youtu.be/MIFNZdSjSDo |

To add to it, this literally 'back from the dead' story is well worth a read: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=398982795603322&id=100064748134264 |
