That's how lying and the spotlight work. It's supremely fucked up and supremely human. I think it's dangerous to look at a situation like that and think you wouldn't make the same mistake, instead, examples like that should be treated as cautionary instruction on the dangers of public mythmaking.

You'll need to replace and refit gear as the hike goes on. The miles take a toll on straps, filters, shoes, etc. You might start with a three season tent and swap for a bivvy tent as it warms up for example (if you're not using shelters).
