Actually, I think the "don't get too much" advise has a lot of merit. I printed off about a dozen lists of "stuff you have to have", and hardly looked at the list after that. We got a lot of stuff, but I think, one should try as best you can to remove stuff you don't use in about two or three weekend trips. Of course things like an extra water hose or pressure regulator, you can easily carry for the twice a year you need them, but we have found that a lot of kitchen stuff just gets moved in, in spring and out in fall without ever being touched in between. Just sayin' it all adds up to weight. hth
