I have always been a gear junkie, hauling equipment anywhere it may be needed. From a simple hike to a long roadtrip, I am master of the unnecessary load required for handling any mishap. As I grow older, I find I can carry less and still survive – i.e. whittling down seven knives to three. Honestly, can you ever be too prepared? This page deals with gear, what I have, what I use, what I like, what I wish, and whatever dude.
