Press the "Reset" Button
For a very long time, I've done less with more and it's time for a change.
I've been playing with some of my oldest gear in the past few days and I'm thinking about changing it up for the sake of change and to show that I can still do it with some minimal, inexpensive gear.
Will that draw me out? I don't know for sure but a change could have a positive impact while doing nothing surely will lead to more of the same...silence, the occasional post, and little else.
I need to hunt, I need to hike, and I need to camp.
I got a couple of wool blankets from Robert at The Canteen Shop today along with some other gear and it got me thinking about walking away from my synthetics and ultra-lightweight gear for a while just to prove something to myself.
My plan is to cut the cost of items to a minimum with a couple of notable exceptions--cutlery related.
Come along with me and let's see how it goes...
Thanks for reading,

I certainly get where you're coming from on this. Some items are quality, some expensive and some effective. Not everything is all three!
Reminds me of a "hobbit's weekend" I took last (Yes waving the nerd flag here)... Went out into the woods with just a bedroll, a knife, a canteen, and a loaf of hard bread. Man was I hungry, but it pressed the reset button alright. Love to hear about your adventure.
