True.
About anytime of year, wool will retain heat even when wet. Even in the summer hypothermia can happen with a storm. Two items to stay warm and dry are what Im wearing now on this chilly summer morning....a wool shirt.
For dry, I recommend a light tarp with cord. Sticks and tress can be the tieouts. That increases pack weight to a pound or two more, but it's the most common emergency need in my experience.
