Newbie question, is not carrying backup headsets and batteries a given?

#1 - I keep two batteries in my kneeboard's zipper pocket.

#2 - My headset gives at least 10 hours of warning for battery
replacement. The first time I get the warning at startup, I go to #1.

#3 - Good ANR sets have auto shutoffs, so you don't arrive to the
cockpit with dead batteries.

#4 - I have three AA flashlights in my flight bag.

#5 - Most FBO's sell AA batteries. If not, a mini-mart next to the
airport does.

Seeing a pattern? G
