I always pack on a "what if" basis: what if I have an immobilising injury- how to: summon help/ cater for an extra 2 days till I'm found? So, implications there for communications and extra food. What if my gear gets soaked: so everything goes into a waterproof liner, etc. Forty five years as a search and rescue ranger taught me the things that people wished they had with them while they were waiting for rescue during a long, wet, cold, hungry, thirsty wait period. Some of those were hunters.
