In the winter months, my wife and I are known to bushwhack very remote sections of the forest looking for new things.
We cross creeks a lot. There is always that chance of falling in and getting completely soaking wet.
Now I could build a fire, strip naked and dry my clothes while covering up with a shock blanket. But that doesn't sound like fun.
Instead, I bring an emergency layers kit with me. I pack extra wool socks, an insulated compression running shirt, and a pair of insulated compression running tights. The compression gear is super lightweight but good enough where runners wear it alone in the winter. If I get soaked and I need it, I feel better that it's there. Never had to use it, though.
Anyone else bring emergency layers? Ever had to use them?
