This weekend, something got cancelled so I thought I’d have time to take a quick two-night hike. Then something else came up so that I had to stay home. In the brief interim between the two, it occurred to me how handy it would be to have a spreadsheet with all my gear so that I could plan a trip in a rush with less worry about either forgetting stuff or walking away with 30 pounds on my back for two nights in warm weather.
Anyway, I finally weighed all my gear and typed it all in to the computer with labels and such. It wasn’t half as bad as I thought.
