Expensive is cheap

Expensive is cheap?

“The only really satisfactory way to approach the price problem is to ignore it. Good equipment always seems expensive, but whenever you find yourself in a store scowling at a price tag, try to remember that out in the wilds, where money is meaningless, the failure of a single item can easily ruin a trip. It may even endanger your life.”

— The New Complete Walker, Colin Fletcher (Knopf, 1968)
