Forgot to check water sources on my last route and paid for it.
I planned a three-day loop in the Rockies without verifying stream flows. Ended up carrying extra water for dry camps that weren't marked on my map. Do you always cross-reference conditions before you go?

Carrying extra water is just good planning, not a penalty.

Isn't it funny how getting ready for small problems gets treated like you're being too careful? Like keeping a phone charger in your bag or an extra snack in your glove box. People act like you're expecting the worst, but really it just means your day doesn't fall apart over one tiny thing. It turns a hassle into a non-issue.
