Gents; Thanks for putting up with me. My version: I agree with layers, on body EDC with a small bag to carry stuff that don't fit in the pockets, BOB, Long term pack and whatever you have put up at home. My concern is that I may not be able to access the stuff at home at least not immediatly, and may need more stuff then is normally contained in BOB (light and fast) with due consideration and adjustment for season. Thanks; Jim
