Of course Rick is talking about serious terrain. If all you're doing is easy terrain without a lot of exposure, then you may not need to take things quite as seriously.
There are other options besides crampons such as the various types of micro spikes which are fine for trails that aren't steep and don't have a lot of drop offs. If you are going up steep trails or are cutting across drop offs, then you do need full ice axe and crampons and do need to go through the process of learning about them and getting the training. If you're climbing icy slopes for skiing/snow boarding, then pretty much for sure you need to go the full ice axe & crampons route.
