Making a lighter load.

I wish I could convince myself to leave stuff I never use at home but I just can't do it. I guess it's the prepper in me. :D

I gave up on bringing along enough tools and spare parts to completely re-build a fleet of aircraft carriers.

You guys are a kick in the ass! LOL

We carry ONLY what we use. And if it doesn't get used in a season. It comes out, and stays home. Also "most" of what we had came from our days as popup campers. So it is all lightweight, and compact.

I'm in the camp of. The less you put out at the start of the trip, the less you have to put up at the end.

I have been hauling a Honda generator around that I only use on rainy days and I try to stay away from those. I agree with gbopp you can never have to much beer.

I did care extra water hoses and extra sewer hoses

We FTd and I believe LESS is MORE. I can open any door/drawer/compartment and see/easily get anything

Am always amazed at vacationers/weekends when they pull in. Start pulling stuff out and getting set up. Its like the circus clown car....stuff keeps coming out and coming out...never ending

And the majority doesn't get used while they are there.

Basics. If you didn't use it last camping trip why bring it next time

No toaster = more beer
No blender = more beer
No vacuum = more beer
No dishes = more beer

Can you see where this is going? :B

Seriously, I've found that a small basic tool kit is all I need in the tool department.
Plus, of course, duct tape and wire.
