If you've been on any of our courses you'll know we love triangles and acronyms. Here's Graham discussing the acronym PACE; Primary, Alternative, Contingency and Emergency.

When looking at the kit you have or planning to bring with you, it's good to refer to PACE. For example let's look at fire lighting.

Primary - lighter
Alternative - matches
Contingency - ferro rod
Emergency - friction fire

It's getting the balance of ensuring you have plans in place for if a piece of kit fails, without over packing👌
