Is it utterly stupid not to take a rain cover or line my pack for an overnight if there's a 0% chance of rain?
I never consider weather a determinate factor in my decision to line my pack. I have a trash bag liner in it every time I hike for 2 reasons. 1) I like to stream line things with as little variation as possible. 2) Streams, rivers, brooks, rills, puddles, spills, and falls are possible obstacles rather it is raining or not.
Yes! Both of these answers made me think of something I hadn't before. I, too, am a klutz. Not sure how many rivers/streams I'll cross on the approach trail (one of my things to look up tonight in my AT guide), but I'll line it for sure. Thanks, y'all!
