RE: Too much gear?
I use alot of my military gear while deer hunting. I got a MOLLE II rucksack that can fit damn near everything in my house in and its comfortable as hell. I also use my issued wet weather gear when it's raining. I can never have too much gear as long as it serves a purpose thats beneficial to me, but maybe I'm a "paramilitary" whack job.
