We try. Occasionally we’ll splurge on something, but overall we try to keep what we purchase consistent.

I always appreciate the reminder to stay frugal and just replace what broke or fits a present need rather than a theoretical one.

I struggle with this.. we have a big black box with a 2-burner Coleman white fuel, and a bunch of things for the 4-person family. One of those persons is doing his own adventures now, the other is an indoor enthusiast, but I can’t bring myself to break it up yet..
So then I put together the one or two person kit on the fly every time, repacking bits from the box, and that’s also silly.

thanks for the gear list, I always get good ideas from it..
