Yup breaking away from ingrained beliefs about kit is hard.
I'm definitely reassessing my load for the next trip out.
Not keen on sharing as I'm occasionally out on my own so want to get it to a level I'm happy with for just me
I have to say the same really, it hard to come out of the comfort zone of using kit that you know and find easy to use.. I am the same I like to have all my kit... in some ways it get you into packing it all, so i f you want to you got it sussed.
Nxt time I'm definitely forgoing the czech bed roll
And will think about using blanket as warm layer during evening.
Tis all a learning curve.
And when I assembled my kit the weather looked shocking we lucked out with it last weekend after a week of cooler and wetter weather

In the spirit of Boone, y'all look like a proper Kanta-ke exploration party! 
Nice write up, Sam; I always enjoy your posts, friend. Thanks for the pictures and as always, the chow looks great!
I just got back from my native home in Boone's Kentucky. Although I went home under unfortunate circumstances, a death in the family, I never go home to 'Boone's country' without some camping. So I camped and paid my respects to my family. I spent time alone in reflection, on the Daniel Boone National Forest, upon the life and character of my late loved one. I visited a place on the forest, in the Bark Camp area, that has special meaning to me personally; a place that I had spent many a night in my youth, in the spirit of 'Boone exploration'! It is a simple overhanging cliff, known locally as a 'rockcastle', in an area of many 'rockcastles'. There are many accounts of Boone and other explorers overnighting in 'rockcastles', frequently, in this region.
Here is a picture of my favorite 'rockcastle' back in Kentucky:
