The Fear of Fear

The author reflects on the margin of error for being prepared on a day trip with a 13-month-old, noting that they only forgot coffee.

They had planned for a 45-minute skiff ride to a hunting spot, followed by drying out and warming up in a Seek Outside hot tent with a titanium stove or a Mr. Heater portable propane heater.

The child, Haleigh, was dressed in layers, including a wool base layer, bibs, puffy jacket, and rain gear, but struggled with the addition of a life jacket.
