Yeah, I get it, as I've tried to say in every post in this thread. That still doesn't stop me from using what I want instead of the most common whatever. Sure, I only do 2 or 3 trips a year and sooner or later it will catch up to me, but I take precautions and also figure things will work out one way or the other if something does happen. Hell, if I worried about all the things that could go wrong, I'd probably never leave the house.

I certainly didn't mean or try to get on a nerve, but it seems I have. It's great advice to consider all the things that could happen while traveling and what can be done to decrease the chances. I've got no problem with you or anyone else saying consider using the most common thing, I just don't. I'm also willing to take whatever happens and make the best of it.
