My gear spreadsheet hit 47 items last night and I finally saw the problem
I started a dumb little list of everything I take camping, just to stop forgetting stuff. Last night I counted it up and it was 47 things. Forty-seven. For two nights at a state park near Asheville.
The weird part is I could not name what 12 of them were for without picking them up. I had two headlamps, a spare of a spare for my stove, and a tarp I bought two years ago and never once unfolded.
So now I am going through it and being honest about what I actually touched on my last 4 trips. What number do you all land on for a weekend trip? And does anyone else keep a list like this or am I just a weirdo with a spreadsheet?
