Here's a quote from a thru hiker gear review. He had hiked the John Muir Trail -
"Of course this information all begs the question, what is the one thing I wish I had brought that I didn't? Ibuprofen. Yes. I brought some pain killers but I was mostly thinking about high altitude headaches when I packed it and only brought a few. To keep up the pace of 16 miles per day, I had to beg the other guys for their pain killers."

My trip this summer: backup matches or lighter.

Last year, I brought the Diamox, but didn't need it.
So, of course, this year I didn't bring it and needed it. I won't make that mistake again.

Dictionary to explain the term "to beg the question".
Aside from that: time. A lot more time.

The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.

Most dictionaries are probably already legitimizing the misuse in their descriptivist zeal...
On my first-timer main trail ascent this July, I wished I'd brought a dumpster so I could toss my extra food, and a shaman to clear up the monsoon so I could see.
On my MR dayhike the next month, I wished I'd brought along a partner who knew which route to follow below Iceberg, and which #@$! chute to climb above it!
