13.5 square metres of tarp, a full change of dry warmer clothes, emergency blanket, a sleeping bag rated to -21 (extreme), enough resources to start a 1000 fires and a maximum 15 mins run to the nearest civilisation is my sort of thinking. Protecting my wicker layer is not.
Taking waterproofs would indeed be good advice, if I wasn't prepared in other ways. If I go fell walking for the day I take waterproofs no matter the season, but I don't have a tarp etc. so it makes sense.
