I test everything before I use it on the trail.
I hate falure or when things brake, but most of all I hate is my falure to make sure it works before it better work and work well.
I look at my outdoor gear as my life depends on it because yours mite also.
It is also unfair to others that may have to help me because I didn't make sure it worked or learned how to work it.
