I just returned from a four-day, back-country camping/canoeing trip in northern Saskatchewan (Canada). I left with three infusion sets, knowing one should last the entire time. But as we canoed across the first lake, the first infusion set began to leak, so when we hit the shore I inserted another. Four hours later, when we set up camp, my second infusion set somehow fell out while setting up the tent - forgot to apply Skin Tac! Down to my last infusion set with three full days of camping, canoeing and fishing to go. Yes! I was able to insert the last infusion set with Skin Tac and a generous covering of medical tape and, fortunately, it held the entire trip. Had that failed, I still had one last line of defence - a fully loaded insulin pen, which would have worked in a pinch. I’ve only been on the pump for a month, but I’ve already learned a good lesson - always have a Plan D!!!
