Not mentioned and tangentially related but vitally important: car emergency kit including jumper cables. Not fun to be at a remote trailhead and have a car issue.

Spoken as someone who once left headlights on during a lengthy hike in the pre- automatic turnoff / alarm days and was happy to have had cables on hand.

Good info! And great pics! I'd say that the 2 biggest dangers/risks are 1) hypothermia (any time of year ... in winter, obviously from cold; in summer, from being wet, even when not `cold'), and 2) injury ... do your best to mitigate/deal with either.
