My biggest dilemma at the moment is I'm holding on to gear just in case my kids need one if they come along with me - dupes and spares. However I think I'm going to standardise on 2 systems. A one person system and a 2 person system. Then I can combine the 2 to take both boys with me. Anything else will get sold off.

A thread will be born shortly. Start saving.

Your better half will be happy with the extra space and the extra cash :p

I'm in a similar boat, and that simple idea of two systems strikes me as genius!

That sounds like something I should be doing. The question is though which of my bits and pieces do I keep and which do I flog for a heartbreaking loss?

Here's the thing. Im a bit of a magpie. A bit of a hoarder. I tend to acquire gear on "what if" scenarios. Consequently over the last 2 or 3 years I've ammased quite a lot of good kit but it seldom gets used.

Soooo thinking of selling a lot of it off. I figure it may be good for the soul as well as the bank balance. However also worried i'll regret it.

Anyone else done the same? Any regrets?

Cheers

Mike

Im exactly the same with big magpie tendencies. The one good thing is if i want something new i sell off kit to pay for it. I say do it but make sure you spend the proceeds and not Mrs Mountain :D
