I'm for doubling, trebbling, or even quadrupling everything if funds allow.
You can always use extra to extend your comfort, but just enough will always be just enough and if you do lose your primary kit, it's going to be a huge relief to know that you (and your dependants) still have the wherewithal to cope... Even if it just means making sure that every person and every vehicle has an emergency blanket, a litre of water, a way to heat it, and a few Oxo cubes.

Failure to prepare mentally, is preparing to fail totally.
