Fair. I'm just suspicious of electronics when actually remote, I use them but assume they'll fail at some crucial moment. It's not actually happened to me, but I live in fear of the one time it does being caught without a paper option.
Walking is basically an excuse to get paper maps out for a lot of people.

I assumed the Garmin thing was backup nav. I normally have 3 electronic nav devices with me and never paper but I guess it depends how remote you go. Walking is probably more conducive to using paper maps than cycling.
Yeah, I've carried a space blanket on a few things now. Never needed it thankfully but it could help if you drown all your warm kit by falling in a stream or something.
