I don't drop lenses, but have had many front elements poked going through the woods and saved by a filter, so I guess to each his own.

How do you know that the filter saved the lens?  Front elements tend to be much stronger than the typical filter.

Your filter may not have been strong durable enough for the woods, but your lens might have been.
