how many time do you think I should pack my gear, only to unpack it again because I thought I forgot something.
LOL! I prefer the other method. I have to lay everything out in piles in a particular corner of a room ( a corner that my wife knows she can not go near or touch ANYTHING), then I keep adding to the piles and never pack until the last thing before I leave (sometimes it detracts a couple extra hours of sleep on my last night at home, but I'm usually to "amped up" to sleep anyway
)....GOOD LUCK!!
