Thanks gang! Wildman, it's good to have you back!Dagny, I'm the same way with multiple redunancies and, Blast, I can relate to the survival vehicles and cutting back.

I figure if that if I'm only going to be a short walk from the vehicle, the house or the office, my main prep needs to be a medical emergency or getting back to one of those three bases. No need to carry it all if I'm only going to be an easy distance away. This isn't a commuter or wilderness pack. Getting stable and getting out (either to leave completely or resupply to go back in) are my top priorities. Like Dagny, I'll repack and reload as the situation dictates. The further I'm going to be from one of my three bases, the more I carry.
