- Storms : rain, snow, sand.
- Cold: freezing temperatures with . Add the windchill...
- Flash flooding: crossing rivers or quick melting of a glacier
- Sun: in the summer if I'm close to icecaps in nice weather without sunglasses, there's a risk of becoming snowblind. Something that already happened to me in New Zealand in 2004.
- Ice and crevasses, I will normally not be on the glaciers to avoid this risk
- Deep snow = slow and cold
- Not enough food, not enough fuel=not enough water
- Failure of fuel/gas stove = no water, no food.
- Fire in the tent.
- Whiteouts and "blackouts" = no visibility
- Battery failure, dead batteries = no electricity for GPS or Sattelite Phone.
- Avalanches
- Volcano eruption, earthquake: I hope not otherwise I'm pretty F***ed
- [more to come]
