I think a lot of people forget how important the advice in this video is.
I always check out rigs when guys post em, pick up and idea here and there as I’m sure we all do.
But I’ve noticed in this minimalist keep it light as possible approach (which is something we all need to learn of course) very often there’s things missing in order to stay light that really shouldn’t be missing.
For example … why am I seeing so many guys rigs with zero way to fend off mosquitoes ? No simple bandaids or iodine pads at all ? Really ?
Embrace the suck doesn’t always mirror reality of the seemingly little things.
Funnily enough John’s video reminded me of watching my sons movie Rango when he’s in the bar being questioned about killing 7 guys with “one bullet”. Wait a minute, that’s only 6, what happened to the 7th ? …. “well, he died of infection”. That cracks me up every time I think about that scene. But in reality it ain’t funny at all.
Thanks for the video reminder John. Good stuff.
