Dumbest thing i have done in my life is to not carry good overnight survival gear in Alaska. Was a fly out fly-fishing guide. At least half the time the plane did not stay with us. In 2 seasons did not have an overnight but came close. Could have been rough for me and my clients. I am a NOLS grad and knew better. I had 5 space blankets, 2 flares, pistol, first aid stuff and some waterproof matches. I still highly regret this decision even though it turned out fine.
