in all fairness hes asking what precautions you take, by that one would assume something like a bothy bag, bivvy bag, first aid kit, wooly pully? etc. he hasn't mentioned gps, spot, plb's etc. just a phone.
will some folk get off his back and give him a serious answer and not be a bunch of pedantic heroes that have luckily never been in trouble before,
for all you know he might be able to use a map and compass but is asking for advice on what else to take.
jeez, sometimes this forum really gets on my tits
