THREE-SEASON CONTINGENCY PLANNING

Some thoughts on contingency preparedness:

Obviously, we cannot take everything needed to handle all possible situations that might occur in the backcountry. But we can be prepared to handle some reasonable set of possibilities. One approach to this is to have a selection of generic tools available that cover a number of situations. These can be part of, rather than in addition to, what you have in your first-aid and repair kits. (Also see “Winter Contingency Planning”.)

The list that follows is a trimmed-down version of what I’ve used for conventional treks for many years. Reconsidering this through the viewpoint of ultralight thinking enabled me to save some weight and still be prepared. Some example contingency tools are listed here (you should modify this list as appropriate for each trip and your preferences).
