cheers Mr Fenna I shall sleep better tonight for knowing that, do you ever think about buying some random bit of small kit, but because you have so much kit, later you look for said bit of kit thinking it to be missplaced but in reality you never actualy got around to buying it in the first place? I am like that now I have got a bambo KFS set which is fab. for some time I mulled over buying the same but in green plastic, now I'm thinking I'm looking for something I don't actualy have. Anybody else got so much kit they get swamped with kit in this way? is there a name for it or is it just me?
I rarely buy kit - I make it or get it for review for my magazine column (not always what I would choose to buy!) get given it etc but sometimes buy replacements for review kit that I either want more of or to replace it when it wears out
I am frantically organised (the old joke "I do not have OCD - I have CDO ... similar - but all the letters have to be in alphabetical order..." is hauntingly familiar)
And
I flog on so much kit that I find that I am not using (made, bought, given, swiped etc) that if I do not find a bit of kit I was looking for , well, I just assume that it either went back after reviewing, got sold or was not replaced after it wore out...
I have been in the outdoor game for so long that I have worn out more kit than I can remember
It could just be you of course
Old favourites (like Biscuits Brown) are sometimes difficult to replace even when massive personal stocks are originally stockpiled!
