We always tried to make sure we had alternitve sites to "weather the storm" especially when we did the west highland way. One thing the always stuck with me is that it is better to be safe than sorry. Only once did we fall back on an emegency site and that was after coming of Rannoch moor in dreadful weather. To carry on would have been stupid as this was before mobile phones. I am of the opinion that anyone out for a walk in the hills needs basic map and compass skills it can be the difference between life and death. Its the basics that save your life not technology.
