Isn't it just great when you get to purchase and collect all sorts of gear supplies and equipment that you know you'll need one day?

Isn't it just great that if you or someone else needs something like a tool, flashlight, band-aid you think: ''Hey, I've actually got that!' and that people are stairing at you when you always have with you what they need?

Isn't it just great when you are packing as much gear as possible in a space as little as possible, and then spend the whole day repacking it a hundred times?

Isn't it just great that when you see someone having a problem, you don't think: 'Oh god, I'm feeling sorry for him/her' but: 'Now how could I solve this problem' (9 out of 10 times, the answer is duct-tape )'?

Isn't it just great when you are picking up stuff that seems completely useless to others, but what makes you like a kid in a candy-store?

Those are some of my reasons..
