No kidding. This guy was extremely ultra-light on gear and used his speed and range to make that practical. Like, he didn't carry a very warm jacket or sleeping bag. He said one time he was hiking through a blizzard and it got late at night, but it was too cold for him to stop. He didn't have the right gear so it would mean freezing. So instead he ran 35 miles to the nearest town and got a room there. He ran 35 miles through a blizzard after having run all day on steep trails. That option wouldn't enter into my planning.
