And if ever I feel the need to buy that ukulele or concrete statue of the flying spaghetti monster that I might find at a roadside stand.
It's also nice to have phone, wallet, SPOT, knife right where I can get at them.
But I agree somewhat. If I were riding pavement all day with 2-3 potential resupy points, it's not really needed.
I'll probably never carry a SPOT because I'm sure I'll be too stubborn to use it. They'd find me dead with the unused SPOT in my pocket and I think I was a MAJOR idiot instead of just a regular idiot.
BTW: How much does that statue weigh?
