Kind’ve like a house….the bigger the house and more rooms….we fill it up! We have been “overlanding full time since 2016…in a 38 ft 5th wheel trailer! After downsiyfrom a 3500 sq ft home…we still carry too much stuff. Twice a year we go through and try to slim down…a never ending process!

When I got out of the service way back when, I joined search and Rescue. I think that is what started me carring too much extra stuff. You can drop the SAE Crescent wrench, channel locks, and pliers too. Lol.

SAE crescent wrench? Is that like a left-handed screwdriver? jk. But yeah, I know what you mean, eliminating some tools where another tool you carry can basically do the same job.

I ALWAYS carry too much- I'm a grandma and always feel obligated to carry the extra jackets, bug sprays, clothes and first aid stuff😂

Just remember there are places called stores that have pretty much anything you need. Instead of packing everything that you might need pack minimally and if you need it then get it later. That way you aren't carrying a bunch of junk. It's a learning process. If I look back at what I used to carry it's kind of funny.

I try to do that with consumables like paper towels, food, water, etc. when I know there are resupply locations that aren't out of the way.

@@ggg4runner Yeah the only way to really know what you need is just to get out and see what's up. It doesn't have to be epic 'overlanding'. Just a night or 2 can get you really dialed in.

Too much stuff lol. I have 3 ground tents in my LC100! Solo bivy, 3+ season 3 man and a big 6 person. I use the 6 person for the wife and dogs when they come, I used to not carry it. A couple months ago I was out in the CO. Rockies and got swarmed by flies and mosquitoes. It was miserable, in the tent to get away from them if the sun was up, even the 2+/3 man was to small to be in after a couple hours. I keep the 6 in the rig now lol.

If there were such a thing as 6-person sized RTT, I'm pretty sure I'd do it 😂 Oh also, the Thermacell mosquito repellers worked pretty well for me last summer in CO (when there's not much wind) and a portable bug zapper does wonders clearing out the tent and just around the campsite in the evening.

I’ve been carrying enough tools to overhaul an engine on the trail for years. For 13 years my off-road vehicle was an XJ (Cherokee), which used SAE nuts & bolts on the engine, and metric everywhere else. So I packed it all! I recently realized that my Gladiator is all metric, except for a few added on accessories, so it’s time to unload some of that weight. Thanks for the reminder!

I have yet to go on an overlanding trip. I don't think I'll have too much trouble with staying minimalist as all of my experience is in backwoods canoe camping. A week would involve a 60 lb pack and a 40 lb canoe. I still came home with uneaten food and items I never looked at.

It looks like you have the Expedition Essentials Maxtrax mount (very nice). Just curious how you mounted it. To a Sherpa window molle panel? Considering this same setup…

Basically, mine is a Joe's Original Equipment panel (he no longer does this from what I understand) as he was the only person making side panels back then.
