One suggestion: I carry a kinetically charged flashlight (one you shake to charge) instead of the candle in a can. both have their advantages and disadvantages: here in Colorado if you get in a deep snow drift I would be worried about the candle depleating oxygen. However, it provides a little warmth, which the flashlight doesn't.

Here in Colorado they now charge you for the cost of rescuing you if you get lost in the mountains. I'm of two minds on this. One, we pay taxes to cover such service. OTOH, if you do something stupid and get lost without sufficient equipment to survive, you should have to pay for your mistake.

I am a believer in having to pay for rescue.
It will not prevent stupid but it will be costly for the
"hold my beer and watch this" crowd.
