Yeah this makes a lot of sense, thank you for elaborating!

I think I understand the idea: Plan things out, have backup plans, have some sense, and one should be fine. You can't just expect to get a friendly rescue within the hour.

I think this is common here in North America too, for instance, people get into trouble because they treat a National Park like a theme park, and underestimate the realities of the wilderness.

They won't have maps, or enough water, or will try to pet a buffalo, or poke around in caves, or snap selfies dangerously close to the edge of the Grand Canyon. It's insane how little they consider the dangers of the wild.
