Bring a 24-hour survival kit on even the shortest hike
Short hikes are the most dangerous, for one simple reason: people underestimate them and thus go into them without gear and preparation to rely on if things go bad.
The recent (happy) story of a woman who was rescued after 17 days lost in the Hawaii jungle is illustrative of countless similar stories of even experienced hikers going on short, “fun” day hikes, getting turned around/injured, and then getting thoroughly lost – without the water, food, gear, maps, and preparation they’d have on a longer trail.
She survived, but she easily could have died. On a 3-mile trail that she’d hiked before.

ah the bias of rescues. a boss adopted a rescue and took it to work. it was lazy. but every time a man came in with a hat they had to lock it up. they're all lawsuits waiting to happen. just put them down.

#11 is not true. My parents' repair man told them to replace their old dishwasher with a new GE model. They got the exact one he recommended. Turns out it had extremely poorly ratings, something the sales person tried to warn them about, and was breaking down every 2-3 months.
The repair man was the only GE certified repair man in the area, and therefore the only person that could work on it under the warranty.
