If my paycheck has just gone into my bank and I set off for the Rockies with my credit card safely in my wallet, I know that I can confidently buy gas and a hotel room for the night. If I have a can of bear spray, I can be confident that I have a chance of deterring an ursine attack. Without these items I cannot have that confidence.
What is it that will give me confidence regarding the location? Astree is right, IMO, we will go directly to the treasure with confidence, but first we need the thing that will supply that confidence.
