I rarely if ever leave on any trip with out the toad. If I do, only within a few hours of an extended support team eg kids, friends, someone who could come get us.
Not to mention, calling a cab to come get us and take us to a car rental; whip out the credit cards.
On the way to my dads funeral, our toad was rear ended so bad we had to leave it; did the rest of the trip no toad. Gave me thought to never doing that again. It can happen where you don't have cell service.
No guarantees in life. Sometimes you might have to get the ice out, douse some towels with ice water, sit back and make the most out of it.
Worst things can happen.
