Assembled a minimalistic PSK and worked it into my outdoors habits and equipment - "never leave home without it". A big leap forward to me. Up to this point, the concept of PSK was not something that worked for me. Instead, it was just stuffing my pack with the required items. Old habbits die hard.


Preparing for a trip - any trip - is now a lot more structurized than before. The PSK is part of that, but only a small part. The most important part is the mental process of structurized moving through a mental check list: Shelter - food - fire - navigation and so on... (ya all know the drill). The result: Packing goes quicker, with less gear, and with much reduced chances of forgetting something vital. (And if I do there's a big chance I'll have a backup).


Staying around at this forum has been instrumental for both these transformations.

The next project is rethinking my car kit...
