I have often noted that changing even one major piece of gear necessitates a complete review of every other piece of gear taken to be sure the new set has the correct functions. :Changing tents could provide a lot more excitement than you were prepared for.

STAY OUT OF GULLIES including small streams where you could maybe get water or maybe be buried under 40 feet of snow.

Yep, I was helping with an evacuation once and the SAR guy pointed out a place where a guy had died in an avalanche. There was about a 100' of 25 degree slope above a gully. A thick slab drove the guy into the gully and burried him. It was not a place that I would normally avoid.
