And, I am sure we all know the 5 P's, right?  Nope...that's why I'm here...link please. I'm about to make a terrible confession - I don't have an assembled BOB, but I guess if I'm going to start hiking w/a pack, I should assemble one and see much it weighs... Well, my bag is not nearly sufficient. I've been working more on my mind. I've been focusing on the "how" and the "why", as opposed to "what" gear I'm buying.

Personally I always seems to remember more easily the 7Ps more than the meaning of the 5Ps.  Hmm, I wonder if that is on my companies Acronym Server...  Somehow I doubt it.

Nope...that's why I'm here...link please. Am_Fear hit it with his link: the 5 P's (or 7, military dependent), are Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance. With the addition of the other two, its Propor Prior Planning Prevents (fill in blank) Poor Performance. Being this is a family oriented site, I say stick with the 5P's-although I will use the 7 in my personal life

Cool... The word "prior" seems redundant, but it's too late to change it now.

When I first heard it back in the 70's it was 6P's: Prior Planning Prevents P*** Poor Performance.
Adding "Proper" to make it 7P's seems to be redundant. . . and British (no offense).
