My Precious Precious Things (Gear)
I’m not usually one for planning but I figure now is as good a time as any to start. Not sure what my base weight is exactly, but as a weight weenie I know it isn’t heavy. I’m sure I left things out. I’M SORRY, change is hard. Without further ado, the product of months of gear obsession.
