Reply to comment by BaldBear_13 in LPT: If you go camping, especially somewhere remote, triple check your shelter when packing. by qwertisdirty

Yeah my immediate thought was that OP hasn't ever gone minimalist camping. Les Stroud would be disappointed.

This advice isn't for niche experts but the general public going on adventures a little outside their usual comfort zone.

If there's a risk of hypothermia then the "general public" shouldn't be camping in such places/seasons.

Being capable of adapting is not a "niche expert". In the USA the scouts learn how to properly camp, and adapt for equipment issues.

Bottom line is if people don't know how to overcome the things you mentioned they shouldn't be camping on their own.

What people should be doing and what some people actually do are not the same thing. This advice helps both categories of those people.
