Anyone Else As Sad/Organised/Bored as Me?

[Jinsin456]

Just wondering if anyone else has had the idea of creating a spreadsheet with all of their gear on it to refer to when packing so that they don't forget anything..... Well I started one, then decided to summarise what kit was needed where..... Then used conditional formatting to colour code it..... Then added where I have been and how long for....... Then hyperlinked all of these to the folders with the pictures I have taken while there...... Then put formula's in to add up all of the nights and miles walked.

I have had far too much time to spend on this but I'm actually really happy with it as it's good for keeping track of kit and dates and really handy for pictures.

Anyone done anything similar?

Haha it started off just a list of all my gear cos I ALWAYS forget something, then bits got added here and there, can see it getting more elaborate in time but have ran short of ideas for the time being

Haha they put it up £1 so I'm refusing to buy it as a one man protest (Apart from the obligatory camping bottle) so apart from Saturday I was sober Friday and Sunday and haven't had a drop since

Looking forward to hitting the 'sweet nectar' this weekend though!

Think that one of my needed items on that list is actually a bottle of Jager!! :dance:

My Mrs would probably agree with you on that one!!

Na just one of them good ideas that got a bit out of hand cos I've nothing better to do with my time, and it stops me spending money online so that's a nice bonus!

Yeap I have a spreadsheet too !
I have a tab for all my kit and then another tab for First Aid Kit, Wash Kit, Fire Kit which lists all theses bit in more detail. I then have a tab for each trip I go and list what I need to take for that trip, that way I can easily see if I'm taking kit I don't use at lot and leave it at home.

Yours gives me some ideas to spice mine up.
