What a freaking mess...

I started cleaning up the gear.  This is about a third of it.  Things I noted immediately:

• I have too many throwbags.  But you can never have too many throw bags.
• I have too many dry bags.  But you can never have too many dry bags.
• I have too many paddle jackets. But people are always borrowing paddle jackets from me.
• I have too many camp stoves.  But one might go "pffffttt..."
• I have too many portage packs.  But people borrow them a lot.

I did have a good pile of insulation that is going to Goodwill...some old Lowe Alpine stuff, a few random fleeces that have weird logos on them, etc.

So the next step is to create containers that have some sort of system so I can find stuff when I need it.  All the containers will need to be clear, as I am a visual sort of guy...if I can't see it, it doesn't exist.  The laptop is used to make a database of what I have so I can continue this project.

Ugh.  I hate this sort of thing.  Easier to get rid of stuff.  I think.
