I would like to think that I am capable of packing JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT of gear for the trip, but I know I have a problem. I'm a gearhead. THERE, I SAID IT ALRIGHT?! (They say the first step to recovery is admission) My wife says I have GAS – gear acquisition syndrome.

I try to pack as lightly as possible, and as I get older, it's getting easier to do. In my younger days I took "the sink". I am by no means an ultralighter now, but i'm learning.

On a scale between 1(least gear) and 10(most gear), i'm somewhere between a 5.5 and a 7.
