>>2719597>I look down on people who overpack because they only have one gear set that's meant to work for them in all situationsFuck off with this shit. I'm not buying a separate tent/pack/pad/sleeping bag just because it's too big for the occasion. Even if I didn't live in a place where it can get below freezing in July, I'd still pack like I do. I'm not buying each and every piece of gear my favorite reddit board is telling me is best for my specific trip
I'm buying the biggest pack I think I'll be using, the warmest sleeping bag I think I'll be using, the warmest sleeping pad I think I'll be using, and a tent that I got from a friend
If my price for consooming fewer products is that I have a heavier pack in the summer than I need, I'll gladly deal with it
