thats right, for example:

1. oops i didn't think to bring my cordolette
2. oh all the slings are on the route hmm i should buy more of them
3. if i take the nuts off their biner i can use it in an anchor, i can take apart this last quickdraw and i reckon i saw a rating sticker on this gear sling at some point
4. good thing i took m9's advice and learnt how to make a rope anchor. on belay!

with versatility who needs planning! ;)
