| Item | Purpose | Why Cheap is Dangerous | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Wool socks | Manage moisture, prevent blisters | Cotton kills (literally, in cold weather) | | Rain shell | Regulate core temperature | Hypothermia can occur at 50°F (10°C) if you are wet | | Fixed-blade knife | Food prep, fire prep, safety | Cheap blades break under torque | | Water bottle (steel) | Hydration without plastic taste | Dehydration mimics anxiety | | Sit pad | Sitting on wet logs/rocks | Cold ground causes rapid heat loss |
