I nearly got caught out a couple falls back, was mid september, smokey air, and weather was rolling in with fog so it started getting really dark about an hour before I expected. Was walking the dog out of town in a unfamiliar area and stumbled on a new trail build so obviously needed to check it out, didn't have my pack or light like normal and ended up getting off the brushed line in some bluffy terrain...had a scary half hour and ended up back at the truck as it went full dark. Lesson learned!
