to be honest, it may be paranoid, but carrying a fold up insulation blanket isn't such a daft idea either; even in midsummer, because it can get cold underground, but also, in case of injury to help with shock.  Spare socks in case you get yours wet.  I've heard a tale of an SAS man, and they are NOT wimps, who got wet out on the moors in August, and decided he was a big strong man and could push on. He died of pneumonia.
